The weight of the other object placed 1 m from the fulcrum that balances the other object is 2.5 N.

<h3>Principle of moment</h3>

The weight of the second object is determined by applying principle of moment as shown below;

take moment about the pivot,

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment

F₁r₁ = F₂r₂

5 x 0.5 = F₂ x 1

2.5 N = F₂

Thus, the weight of the other object placed 1 m from the fulcrum that balances the other object is 2.5 N.

Answer: The pressure  of the air when compressed is 5.0\times 10^5Pa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2  

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 1.0\times 10^5Pa

P_2 = final pressure of gas  =?

V_1 = initial volume of gas  = V

V_2 = final volume of gas  = \frac{V}{5}

1.0\times 10^5\times V=P_2\times \frac{V}{5}  

P_2=5.0\times 10^5Pa

Therefore, the pressure  of the air when compressed is 5.0\times 10^5Pa

What three forces contribute to the rise of water in a capillary tube?
Leviafan [203]
These three forces are cohesive force, adhesive force and surface tension. The cohesive and adhesive forces are opposite of each other. While cohesive force is the intermolecular bonding between like molecules, the adhesive force is the intermolecular force between unlike molecules. Surface tension is perceived to be the force exerted by the liquid near the surface of the water. Together, these forces bring about an increase in liquid height when a very small tube is placed on a wide surface liquid.
