A young work crew is trying to quickly finish some touch‑up painting to complete a job. Rather than setting up a secure work are

a, they decide to try a shortcut. Worker A will hold the far end of a 8.98 m work plank which weighs 115 N and is secured with a hinge on the opposite end. Worker B will stand on the plank 4.11 m from worker A. Worker B also brings up his paint can, mc=3.42 kg, which he places 0.295 m from where he is standing on the plank (between the two workers). Worker A unfortunately needs to supply 522 N of force to hold the end of the plank. How much does worker B weigh? The acceleration due to gravity is ????=9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

Wb = 820.929N      mb = 83.68 kg

Explanation:

The given values are:

Fa = 522N                              Da = 8.98m

Wp = 115N                               Dp = 8.98/2 = 4.49m

Wb = ?                                     Db = 8.98 - 4.11 = 4.87m

Wc = 3.42*9.81 = 33.55N       Dc = 8.98 - 4.11+0.295 = 5.165m

Net torque on the plank will be:

Wp*Dp + Wb*Db + Wc*Dc - Fa*Da = 0

Solving for Wb:

Wb=\frac{Fa*Da-Wp*Dp-Wc*Dc}{Db} =820.929N

The weight of worker B is 820.929N

Dividing by gravity we get the mass of worker B: 83.68kg

Umar has two copper pans, each containing 500cm3 of water. Pan A has a mass of 750g and pan B has a mass of 1.5kg. Which pan wil
Olin [163]

Answer:

heat required in pan B is more than pan A

Explanation:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the substance is given by the formula

Q = ms\Delta T

now we know that both pan contains same volume of water while the mass of pan is different

So here heat required to raise the temperature of water in Pan A is given as

Q_1 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T

Q_1 = (0.5(4186) + 0.750(s))\Delta T

Now similarly for other pan we have

Q_2 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T

Q_2 = (0.5(4186) + 1.50(s))\Delta T

So here by comparing the two equations we can say that heat required in pan B is more than pan A

A planar loop consisting of seven turns of wire, each of which encloses 200 cm2, is oriented perpendicularly to a magnetic field
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The induced current is 0.084 A

Explanation:

the area given by the exercise is

A = 200 cm^2 = 200x10^-4 m^2

R = 5 Ω

N = 7 turns

The formula of the emf induced according to Faraday's law is equal to:

ε = (-N * dφ)/dt = (N*(b2-b1)*A)/dt

Replacing values:

ε = (7*(38 - 14) * (200x10^-4))/8x10^-3 = 0.42 V

the induced current is equal to:

I = ε /R = 0.42/5 = 0.084 A

Assume that segment r exerts a force of magnitude t on segment l. what is the magnitude flr of the force exerted on segment r by
mrs_skeptik [129]
If we are talking on the force being exerted by a segment of a rope of lenght R on the right on a point M which is being also pulled from the Left by a segment of rope R  as shown in the figure attached. Then we invoke Newton's Third Law:
"Any force exerted by an object (in this case a segment of the rope) also suffers a equal and opposite force".
If we pick T_R=T whis is the tension exerted by the right segment then the left segment will also exert an equal and opposite force so we have that T_L=-T

Every spring has an equilibrium position. Which statements describe a spring at its equilibrium position? Check all that
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The elastic potential energy is zero.

The net force acting on the spring is zero.

Explanation:

The equilibrium position of a spring is the position that the spring has when its neither compressed nor stretched - it is also called natural length of the spring.

Let's now analyze the different statements:

The spring constant is zero.  --> false. The spring constant is never zero.

The elastic potential energy is at a maximum  --> false. The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant and x the displacement. Therefore, the elastic potential energy is maximum when x, the displacement, is maximum.

The elastic potential energy is zero.  --> true. As we saw from the equation above, the elastic potential energy is zero when the displacement is zero (at the equilibrium position).

The displacement of the spring is at a maxi num  --> false, for what we said above

The net force acting on the spring is zero. --> true, as the spring is neither compressed nor stretched

A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of 350 kg⋅m2 is freely rotating with an angular velocity of
Flauer [41]

Answer:

v = 4.375\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The situation of the system Ryan - merry-go-round is modelled after the Principle of the Angular Momentum Conservation:

(350\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot (1.5\,\frac{rad}{s} ) - (2\,m)\cdot (60\,kg)\cdot v = 0\,kg\cdot \frac{m^{2}}{s}

The initial speed of Ryan is:

v = 4.375\,\frac{m}{s}
