A cubical box is filled with sand and weighs 510 N. It is desired to "roll" the box by pushing horizontally on one of the upper

edges. What minimum force (in newtons) is required? Any help is appreciated. Been at this for 30 minutes and I still don't get it.

Clockwise moments = Anticlockwise moments
Call the force you apply horizontally to the top left side of the square N.
W = 510 acting from the centre as the mass is distributed evenly.

Take moments about a pivot, in this case the bottom right corner is the pivot.
The clockwise moment is N and the anticlockwise moment is W.
N*x*sqrt(2) = 510*x/2
205x =Nx*sqrt(2)
205 = N*sqrt(2)
N = 205/sqrt(2)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If KM bisects angle NKL, the angle 3 is congruent to angle 4.  

We are given that angle 1 is congruent to angle 2, so that means that angle JKP is congruent to angle PKN.  By the definition of an angle bisector, we know then that angle NKM is congruent to angle MKL.  By the definition of a straight angle formed by opposite rays, all those angles named above add up to equal 180 degrees.  So if angle JKN = 8x + 2 and angle MKL = 3x + 5 and angles NKM and MKL are congruent, then angle NKL = 2(3x + 5) which is 6x + 10.  Again, if all those angles above add up to equal 180, then

8x + 2 + 6x + 10 = 180 and

14x + 12 = 180 and

14x = 168 so

x = 12.

Angle MKN = 3x + 5 so if x = 12, then

Angle MKN = 3(12) + 5 and

Angle MKN = 41 degrees

Franklin rides his bike to the beach averaging 18mph. He rides home along the same route. What speed must he average on the way
Sedaia [141]
  • <em>Answer:</em>

<em> 24 mph</em>

  • <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there ! </em>

<em>Vm = 21mph</em>

<em>V1 = 18mph</em>

<em>V2 = ?</em>

<em>Vm = (V₁ + V₂)/2</em>

<em>2Vm = V₁ + V₂</em>

<em>V₂ = 2Vm - V₁</em>

<em>replace Vm ; V₁</em>

<em>V₂ = 2×21mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 42mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 24 mph</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>

A scientist measures a substance to be 0.8 grams. Calculate the percent of error in the measurement. Show all work for full cred
Volgvan
You'll need to give a bit more information for the question to be answered. You can only calculate the percentage of error if you know what the mass of the substance *should be* and what you've *measured* it to be.

In other words, if a substance has a mass of 0.55 grams and you measure it to be 0.80 grams, then the percent of error would be:

percent of error = { | measured value - actual value | / actual value } x 100%

So, in this case:

percent of error = { | 0.80 - 0.55 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = { | 0.25 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = 0.4545 x 100%
percent of error = 45.45%

So, in order to calculate the percent of error, you'll need to know what these two measurements are. Once you know these, plug them into the formula above and you should be all set!
