In determining the number of significant figures in a given number, there are three rules to always remember / follow:

First: All integers except zero are always significant.

<span>Second: Any zeros located between  non zeroes are always significant.</span>

Third: A zero located after a non zero in a decimal is always significant whether it is before or after the decimal

 

Therefore using this rule, the number of significant digits in the given numbers are:

(a) 214 = 3

(b) 81.60 = 4

(c) 7.03 = 3

(d) 0.03 = 1

(e) 0.0086 = 2

(f) 3236 = 4

(g) 8700 = 2

g 2. The _____ spans the distance from the _____ to the location of the applied force. moment arm; pivot point moment of inertia
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (moment arm; pivot point).

Explanation:

  • The moment arm seems to be the duration seen between joint as well as the force section trying to act mostly on the joint. Each joint that is already implicated in the workout seems to have a momentary arm.
  • The moment arm extends this same distance from either the pivot point to just the position of that same pressure exerted.
  • The pivotal point seems to be the technical indicators required to fully measure the appropriate demand trends alongside different time-frames.

The other three choices are not related to the given situation. So that option A is the appropriate choice.

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

  1. On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
  2. On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0

⇒Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)

⇒Fa=2.24Fb

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950  

⇒Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950

⇒2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950

⇒Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}

⇒Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}

⇒ Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5

⇒Fa=2.24*Fb

      =2.24*345.5

      =773.93

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

Lexy used the formula shown to calculate the force of gravity on a space shuttle. Fg = G What does 3 × 105 kg represent? the dif
STALIN [3.7K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>This term shows the </u><u>mass of the space shuttle</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We know that the mass of the Earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg. Similarly the sum of  mass of earth and the mass of shuttle must be a greater number as compared to the number given. It simply means that the mass of earth is itself 5.972 × 10^24 kg and the value given is 3 × 105 kg so it is obvious that if was the sum then it must be greater than the mass of earth. Therefore we can say that this not the mass of earth, neither the sum of mass of earth and shuttle, but this is only the mass of space shuttle which is the last multiple choice.

B. A hydraulic jack has a ram of 20 cm diameter and a plunger of 3 cm diameter. It is used for lifting a weight of 3 tons. Find
lozanna [386]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

According to the Pascal's law

F / A = f / a

Where, F is the force on ram, A be the area of ram, f be the force on plunger and a be the area of plunger.

Diameter of ram, D = 20 cm, R = 20 / 2 = 10 cm

A = π R^2 = π x 100 cm^2

F = 3 tons = 3000 kgf

diameter of plunger, d = 3 cm, r = 1.5 cm

a = π x 2.25 cm^2

Use Pascal's law

3000 / π x 100 = f / π x 2.25

f = 67.5 Kgf
