A non-uniform rod 60cm long and weighs 32N is balanced at the 45cm mark. A load of 2N is hung on the zinc rod at the 25cm mark.

Where must a second knife-edge be placed to balance the zinc rod horizontally​

Answer:

The second knife-edge must be placed 46.2 cm from the zero mark of the rod.

Explanation:

From the law of equilibrium, ΣF = 0 and ΣM = 0.

Let R be the reaction at the knife edge. Since the weight of the rod and zinc load act downward, and we take downward position as negative

-32 N - 2 N + R = 0

-34 N = -R

R = 34 N

Also, let us assume the knife-edge is x cm from the zero mark. Taking moments about the weight and assuming the knife-edge is right of the weight of the rod. Taking clockwise moments as positive and anti-clockwise moments as negative,

-(45 - 25)2 + (x - 45)R = 0

-(20)2 + (x - 45)34 = 0

-40 = -(x - 45)34  

x - 45 = 40/34

x - 45 = 1.18

x = 45 + 1.18

x = 46.18 cm

x ≅ 46.2 cm

The second knife-edge must be placed 46.2 cm from the zero mark of the rod.

A pyrotechnical releases a 3 kg firecracker from rest. at t=0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with a speed 4 m/s. At the
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a) F = 30 N, b)   I = 12 N s , c)  I = -12 N s , d) ΔI = 0 N s

Explanation:

This exercise is a case at the moment, let's define the system formed by the firecracker and its two parts, in this case the forces during the explosion are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial, before the explosion

     p₀ = m v

The speed can be found by kinematics

     v = v₀ - g t

     v = 0 - 10 0.4

     v = -4.0 m / s

Final after division

     pf = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    p₀ = pf

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

Where M is the initial mass (M = 3 kg), m₁ is the mass mtop (m₁ = 1 kg) and m₂ in the mass m botton (m₂ = 2kg) and the piece that moves up (v₁f = 6m/s )

a) before the explosion the only force acting on the body is gravity

     F = mg

     F = 3 10 = 30 N

b) The expression for momentum is

     I = Ft

Before the explosion the only force that acts is the weight

    I = mg t

    I = 3 10 0.4

    I = 12 N s

c) To calculate this part we use the conservation of the moment and calculate the speed of the body that descends body 2

    M v = m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f

    v₂f = (M v - m₁ v₁f) / m₂

    v₂f = (3 (-4) - 1 6) / 2

   v₂f = - 9 m / 2

The negative sign indicates that body 2 (botton) is descending

Now we can use the momentum and momentum relationship for the body during the explosion

    I = F t = Dp

   F t = pf –po)

   F t= [m₁ v₁f + m₂ v₂f]

   

   I = [1 6 + 2 (-9) -0]

   I = -12 N s

This is the impulse during the explosion the negative sign indicates that it is headed down

d) impulse change

I₀ = Mv

I₀ = 3 *4

I₀ =-12 N s

 ΔI =If – I₀  

ΔI = - 12 – (-12)

ΔI = -0 N s

Every winter I fly home to Chicago. It takes 3 hours. What is my average speed?
Tanya [424]

It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

A container of volume 0.6 m^3 contains 5.3 mol of argon gas at 24°C. Assuming argon behaves as an ideal gas, find the total inte
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2×n×R×T

     = 3/2×(5.3)×(8.31451)×(24 + 273)

     = 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.
