We can solve this problem by stating that the summation of momentums must be zero. That is, the momentum at one end of the pivot must be equal to the momentum at the other end.

Momentum 1 = Momentum 2

Since Momentum is the product of Force and Distance, and with this rule created, we can say that:

F1 * d1 = F2 * d2

Where,

F1 = 60 lbs

d1 = 2 inches from the pivot

F2 = unknown X

d2 = 3 inches from the pivot

Substituting to the equation to find for F2:

60 lbs * 2 inches = F2 * 3 inches

F2 = 40 lbs

 

<span>Therefore 40 lbs of upward force must be pushed to open the valve.</span>

Suppose a shipment of 400 components contains 68 defective and 332 non-defective computer components. From the shipment you take
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

mean (μ) = 4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = probability of a defective computer components = \frac{68}{400} = 0.17

let q = probability of a non-defective computer components = \frac{332}{400} = 0.83

Given random sample n = 25

we will find mean value in binomial distribution

The mean of binomial distribution = np

here 'n' is sample size and 'p' is defective components

mean (μ) = 25 X 0.17 = 4.25

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

mean (μ) =  4.25

In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard dev
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

0.3114

Option d is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the time spent on a treadmill in the health club

Given that  research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes

Also given that X is normal

the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.

= P(30

round off to two decimals tog et

the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill is 0.31

Hence option d is right

A composite figure is comprised of a square, trapezoid, and a rectangle. The square has side lengths of 10 centimeters. The trap
Evgesh-ka [11]

The area of the composite figure is 264 square centimeters, if a composite figure comprised of a square, trapezoid and a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                   Dimensions of square has length of 10 cm

                   Trapezoid has base lengths of 8 cm and 14 cm

                   The length of the trapezoid is 4 cm

                   Rectangle has side length of 20 cm and 6 cm

Step:1

            Area of composite figure = Area of square + Area of Trapezoid

                                                                + Area of rectangle.......................(1)

Step:2

                  Formula for area of square,

                                                 A_{square} = a^{2}

                 where, a - side of length = 10 cm

                                                             =10^{2}

                                                            =100

                    Area of square, A_{square} = 100 Square centimeter

Step:3

                Formula for area of Trapezoid,

                                            A_{Trapezoid} = \frac{a+b}{2} h.......................................(2)

                    Where, a - 8 cm

                                 b - 14 cm

                                 h - 4 cm

                 From equation (2)

                                                            = \frac{8+14}{2} 4

                                                            = (11)(4)

                                                            = 44

         Area of  Trapezoid, A_{Trapezoid} = 44 square centimeters

Step:4

             Formula for area of rectangle,

                                            A_{Rectangle} =lb......................................(3)

            Where, l = 20 cm

                        b = 6 cm

           Equation (3) becomes,

                                                            = (20)(6)

                                                            = 120

            Area of rectangle, A_{Rectangle} = 120 square centimeters

Step:5

            From Equation (1),

                     A_{Composite} = 100 + 44 + 120

                                     = 264 square centimeters

Result:

            The area of the composite figure is 264 square centimeters, if a composite figure comprised of a square, trapezoid and a rectangle.

Find the binomial coefficient: 2012/2011
seropon [69]
 ²⁰¹²C₂₀₁₁ = (2012)! / [(2011)! (2012-2011)!]

²⁰¹²C₂₀₁₁ = (2012)! / [(2011)! (1)!]

Simplify 2012! / (2011)! = 2012

²⁰¹²C₂₀₁₁ = (2012)! / (1)!  = 2012

Calculate cos 0 to two decimal places
Sergio [31]

We can use the law of cosines as follows:

7^2 = 8^2+10^2-2\cdot 8 \cdot 10 \cdot \cos(\theta)

We can rewrite this equation as

49 = 164-160 \cdot \cos(\theta) \iff 160 \cdot \cos(\theta) = 115 \iff \cos(\theta)=\dfrac{115}{160}\approx 0.72
