Two masses hang below a massless meter stick. Mass 1 is located at the 10cm mark with a weight of 15kg, while mass 2 is located

at the 60cm mark with a weight of 30kg. At what point in between the two masses must the string be attached in order to balance the system?

Answer:43.33 cm mark

Explanation:

Given

mass 1 is located at the 10 cm mark with weight of 15 kg

mass 2 is located at 60 cm mark with weight of 30 kg

string should be attached between them to balance the system

so the distance between the the two masses is 50 cm

For system to be balance torque of both the weight must nullify each other

Let us suppose string is at a distance of x cm from 15 kg mass so 30 kg mass is at a distance of 50-x cm

Balancing torque

15\times x-30\times (50-x)

x=\frac{100}{3}=33.33

so string should be at a mark of 10+33.33=43.33 cm

NeX [460]

Answer:

1) The magnetic field outside the loop is zero.

In region III the magnetic fields due to the two wire loops point in the opposite direction andhence cancel each other. Therefore the magnetic field is zero in region I, III and V

A square loop of wire with initial side length 10 cm is placed in a magnetic field of strength 1 T. The field is parallel to the
Fofino [41]

Answer:

2 x 10⁻³ volts

Explanation:

B = magnetic of magnetic field parallel to the axis of loop = 1 T

\frac{dA}{dt} = rate of change of area of the loop = 20 cm²/s = 20 x 10⁻⁴ m²

θ = Angle of the magnetic field with the area vector = 0

E = emf induced in the loop

Induced emf is given as

E = B \frac{dA}{dt}

E = (1) (20 x 10⁻⁴ )

E = 2 x 10⁻³ volts

E = 2 mV

slava [35]
It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>
