From the items on this list, the only one that allows calculation
of the mechanical advantage is 'B' ... the lengths from the fulcrum
to the effort and the resistance.

The MA can also be calculated when you know the two forces ...
the effort and the resistance ... when the lever is just balanced.

Answer:

Option B)

the length of the effort arm and the length of the resistance arm

Explanation:

A lever is a simple machine with a point fulcrum known also as a hinge. The lever helps to rotate the body and vary the input force and output force to get maximum mechanical advantage.

Mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the output force to input force.

When there is no friction or other forces this mechanical advantage can also be calculated as the ratio of length of effort arm to length of resistance arm.

Hence option B is right.

Calculate the change in internal energy (δe) for a system that is giving off 25.0 kj of heat and is changing from 12.00 l to 6.0
lora16 [44]

Since the system itself is giving off heat, this is a reduction in the internal energy.

heat = - 25,000 J

 

Since work is being done on the system, therefore it is an additional energy to the system. Work is given as:

work = - P dV

work = - 1.50 atm (6 L – 12 L)

work = 9 L atm

Since it is given that 1 L atm is equivalent to 101.3 J, therefore the total energy added is:

energy due to work = 9 L atm (101.3 J / 1 L atm)

energy due to work = 911.7 J

 

Therefore the total change in internal energy is the sum of heat and energy due to work:

Change in internal energy = - 25,000 J + 911.7 J

Change in internal energy = - 24,088.3 J

 

<span>Therefore, approximately 24.1 kJ of energy is lost by the system in the total process.</span>

<span>-24.1 kJ</span>

Answer:

I assume by "which" of these you're looking for an example. Water freezing into ice or water, or evaporation, the process of turning from liquid into vapor, would not be chemical changes.

Explanation:

These are physical changes because they do not form a new substance, a chemical change requires a change in the chemical makeup of the substance.

I can't seem to figure out the angle between T1 and T2. So suppose, it is 10º; then T2 makes an angle of 35º w/r/t horizontal, and T1 makes an angle of 45º. 
Sum the moments about the base of the crane; Σ M = 0. 0 = T2*cos35*L*cos40 + T1*cos45*L*cos40 - T2*sin35*L*sin40 - T1*sin45*L*sin40 - W*(L/2)*sin40 - T1*L*sin40 → length L cancels where W = 18 kN 
0 = 0.259*T2 - 43kN T2 = 166 kN
