A ruler of length 0.30m is pivoted at its centre. Equal and opposite forces of magnitude 2.0N are applied to the ends of the rul

er, creating a couple which create an angle of 50o with the ruler. What is the magnitude of the torque of the couple on the ruler.

Answer:

0.3858 Nm

Explanation:

The torque of the couple is the dot product of the force vector and the couple vector from 1 end of the ruler to the center. This equals to the product of their magnitude times the cosine() of the angle made by their direction:

T = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = Fscos(50^0) = 2 * 0.3 * 0.643 = 0.3858 Nm

You must determine the length of a long, thin wire that is suspended from the ceiling in the atrium of a tall building. A 2.00-c
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let L be the length of the wire.

velocity of pulse wave v = L / 24.7 x 10⁻³ = 40.48 L  m /s

mass per unit length of the wire m = 14.5 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁻³ / 2 x 10⁻² kg / m

m = 7.25 x 10⁻⁷ kg / m

Tension in the wire = Mg  , M is mass hanged from lower end.

= .4 x 9.8

= 3.92 N

expression for velocity of wave in the wire

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }    , T is tension in the wire , m is mass per unit length of wire .

40.48 L = \sqrt{\frac{3.92}{7.25\times10^{-7}} }

1638.63 L² = 3.92 / (7.25 x 10⁻⁷)

L² = 3.92 x 10⁷ / (7.25 x 1638.63 )

L² = 3299.64

L = 57.44 m /s

a box weighing 155 N is pushed horizontally down the hall at constant velocity. the applied force is 83 n what is the coefficien
meriva

Answer:

μ = 0.535

Explanation:

On a level floor, normal force = weight.

N = W

Friction force = normal force × coefficient of friction.

F = Nμ

Substitute:

F = Wμ

83 = 155μ

μ = 0.535

Round as needed.

A thin beam of light enters a thick plastic sheet from air at an angle of 32.0° with the normal and continues in the sheet at an
Cloud [144]

Answer:

1.36

Explanation:

n_{air} = Index of refraction of air = 1

n_{plastic} = Index of refraction of plastic = ?

i = angle of incidence in air = 32.0° deg

r = angle of refraction in plastic = 23.0° deg

Using Snell's law

n_{air} Sini = n_{plastic} Sinr

(1) SIn32.0 = n_{plastic} Sin23.0

n_{plastic} = 1.36

1. A 3.0 kg mass is tied to a rope and swung in a horizontal circle. If the velocity of the mass is 4.0 ms and
saul85 [17]

10.67m/s²

32N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the body = 3kg

velocity of the mass = 4m/s

radius of circle = 0.75m

Unknown:

centripetal acceleration = ?

centripetal force = ?

Solution:

The centripetal force is the force that keeps a radial body in its circular motion. It is directed inward:

   Centripetal acceleration  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

   v is the velocity of the body

    r is the radius of the circle

  putting in the parameters:

   Centripetal acceleration = \frac{4^{2} }{0.75}

    Centripetal acceleration = 10.67m/s²

Centripetal force = m  \frac{v^{2} }{r}

          m is the mass

 Centripetal force = mass x centripetal acceleration

                              = 3 x 10.67

                              = 32N

A rock is dropped from the top of a tall building. The rock's displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 46 %
olasank [31]

Answer:

height is 69.68 m

Explanation:

given data

before it hits the ground =  46 % of entire distance

to find out

the height

solution

we know here acceleration and displacement that is

d = (0.5)gt²     ..............1

here d is distance and g is  acceleration and t is time

so when object falling it will be

h = 4.9 t²   ....................2

and in 1st part of question

we have (100% - 46% ) = 54 %

so falling objects will be there

0.54 h = 4.9 (t-1)²       ...................3

so

now we have 2 equation with unknown

we equate both equation

1st equation already solve for h

substitute h in the second equation and find t

0.54 × 4.9 t² = 4.9 (t-1)²  

t = 0.576 s and  3.771 s

we use here 3.771 s because  0.576 s is useless displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 46 % of the entire distance it falls

so take t = 3.771 s

then h from equation 2

h = 4.9 t²

h = 4.9 (3.771)²

h =  69.68 m

so height is 69.68 m
