Two friends of different masses are on the playground. They are playing on the seesaw and are able to balance it even though the

ir masses are different.
How are they able to balance on the seesaw?

1) They are able to balance torques due to gravity.
2) They are able to balance their respective energies.
3) All of these.
4) Their densities are the same.
5) They are able to balance forces due to gravity.
6) They are able to balance their respective momenta.

1) They are able to balance the torques due to gravity.

The torque is equal fo Force * lever arm.

The force downward is due to gravity, Force = mass*gravity.

Then the heavier student will produce a bigger force downgar and he/she shall shorten the lever arm of his/her side, by placing himself closer to the rotation axis, than the lighter student.

Suppose that a barometer was made using oil with rho=900 kg/m3. What is the height of the barometer at atmospheric pressure?
rewona [7]

Hey there!

The pressure under a liquid column can be , calculated using  the following formula :

P = p x g x h  

P atm = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = ?

h =  P / ( p x g ) =

h= ( 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa ) / ( 900 x 9.8 ) =

h = ( 1.013 x 10⁵ ) / ( 8820 ) =

h = 11.48 m ≈  11.50 m

Hope this helps!

The CBR method of flexible pavement design gives an idea about the:
marta [7]

Answer:

A. quality of road-making material

Explanation:

The CBR method of flexible pavement design gives an idea about the:

A. quality of road-making material

B. traffic intensities

C. characteristics of soil

D. All of the above

The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test is a penetration test used to evaluate the subgrade strength of roads and pavements. The results of these tests are used with the curves to determine the thickness of pavement and its component layers. it is the measure of the resistance of a material against the penetration of a standard plunger.

This can be used to determine the quality of road making material. CBR is expressed as the percentage of the actual load to the standard load.

A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The
qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.

A source charge generates an electric field of 1236 N/C at a distance of 4 m. What is the magnitude of the source charge?
guajiro [1.7K]

The correct answer to the question is-  2.2\ \mu C

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the electric field generated by the source charge is 1236  N/C at a distance of 4 m.

Hence , electric field  E =  1236 N/C.

The distance of the point R = 4m

We are asked to calculate the charge possessed by the source.

The electric field produced by a source charge of Q at a distance R is calculated as -

                    Electric field E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{0}}\frac{Q}{R^2}

Here, \epsilon_{0} is called the absolute permittivity of the free space.

Hence, the charge of source is calculated as -

                                         Q = E\times 4\pi \epsilon_{0}\times R^2

                                            = 1236\times \frac{1}{9\times 10^9}\times (4)^2\ Coulomb

                                            = 2197.33\times 10^{-9}\ C

                                             = 2.19733\times 10^{-6}\ C

                                             = 2.2\ \mu C

Hence, the charge of source is 2.2\ \mu C
