Answer:

The wife have to sit at 0.46 L from the middle point of the seesaw.

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the seesaw and the loads acting over it.

And by the studying of the Newton's law we can find the equation useful to find the distance of the mother sitting on the seesaw with respect to the center ot the pivot point.

A logical intuition will give us the idea that the mother will be on the side of her son to make the balance.

The maximum momentum with respect to the pivot point (0) will be:

M=75 *\frac{L}{2}

Where L/2 is the half of the distance of the seesaw

Therefore the other loads ( mom + son) must be create a momentum equal to the maximum momentum.

The electric field 1.5 cm from a very small charged object points toward the object with a magnitude of 180,000 N/C. What is the
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

q = 4.5 nC

Explanation:

given,

electric field of small charged object, E = 180000 N/C

distance between them, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

using equation of electric field

E = \dfrac{kq}{r^2}

k = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q is the charge of the object

q= \dfrac{Er^2}{k}

now,

q= \dfrac{180000\times 0.015^2}{9\times 10^9}

      q = 4.5 x 10⁻⁹ C

      q = 4.5 nC

the charge on the object is equal to 4.5 nC

A 150-N box is being pulled horizontally in a wagon accelerating uniformly at 3.00 m/s2. The box does not move relative to the w
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, a=3\ m/s^2

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.  

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}

m=15.3\ kg

Frictional force is given by :

F=ma

F=15.3\times 3

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a 10 meter ramp helps you move a 500 kg object up 1 meter. What was the mechanical advantage of the ramp?
sattari [20]
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is

(Length of the incline) / (its height)

= (10m) / (1m)

= 10 .

It's the same for any load, and doesn't depend on the mass that you're trying to move up or down the ramp.

Two window washers, Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00 m long, 395 N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 8
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

- the forces on the left hand side is 1.038 kN

- the forces on the right hand side is 1.483 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

Length of the scaffold = 3 m

weight of the scaffold = 395 N

Weight of Bob = 805 N and stands 1 m from the left end

weight of washing equipment = 500N and on sits 2 m from the left end

Weight of Joe = 820 N and stand 0.500 m from the right end

so the force on the left cable will be;

T_{left = \frac{1}{3m}[ (805 N)( (3-1) m) + ( 395 N )( \frac{3}{2} m) + ( 500 N )(1m ) + ( 820 N)( 0.500m ) ]

T_{left =  \frac{1}{3m}[ 1610 + 592.5 + 500 + 410 ]

T_{left =  \frac{1}{3m}[ 3112.5 ]

T_{left =  1037.5 N

T_{left =  1.038 kN

Therefore, the forces on the left hand side is 1.038 kN

On the right hand side;

T_{Right =  ( 805 N + 395 N + 500 N + 820 N ) - 1037.5 N

T_{Right =  2520 N - 1037.5 N

T_{Right =  1482.5 N

T_{Right =  1.483 kN

Therefore, the forces on the right hand side is 1.483 kN
