The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 300,000 pa. What force does this cause on the top of the tank ins

Answer:

60 000 N

Explanation:

1 pa = 1 N/m^2

you have 300 000 of these = 300 000 N /m^2

but only an area of .2 m^2

300 000 N / m^2 * .2 m^2 = 60 000 N

You pull with a force of 77 N on a piece of luggage of mass 23 kg, but it does

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The force of static friction acting on the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the luggage, m = 23 kg

You pulled the luggage with a force of, F = 77 N

The coefficient of static friction of luggage and floor, μₓ = 0.8

The formula for static frictional force is,

Fₓ = μₓ · η

Where,

η - normal force acting on the luggage 'mg'

Substituting the values in the above equation,

Fₓ = 0.8 x 23 x 9.8

= 180.32 N

Hence, the minimum force require to pull the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

A thin uniform rod of mass M and length L is bent at its center so that the two segments are now perpendicular to each other. Fi

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

(a) I_A=1/12ML²

(b) I_B=1/3ML²

Explanation:

We know that the moment of inertia of a rod of mass M and lenght L about its center is 1/12ML².

(a) If the rod is bent exactly at its center, the distance from every point of the rod to the axis doesn't change. Since the moment of inertia depends on the distance of every mass to this axis, the moment of inertia remains the same. In other words, I_A=1/12ML².

(b) The two ends and the point where the two segments meet form an isorrectangle triangle. So the distance between the ends d can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2}+(\frac{1}{2}L) ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}L^{2} } =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } L=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} L$

Next, the point where the two segments meet, the midpoint of the line connecting the two ends of the rod, and an end of the rod form another rectangle triangle, so we can calculate the distance between the two axis x using Pythagorean Theorem again:

$x=\sqrt{(\frac{1}{2}L)^{2}-(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}L) ^{2} } =\sqrt{\frac{1}{8} L^{2} } =\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} L=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} L$

Finally, using the Parallel Axis Theorem, we calculate I_B:

$I_B=I_A+Mx^{2} \\\\I_B=\frac{1}{12} ML^{2} +\frac{1}{4} ML^{2} =\frac{1}{3} ML^{2}$

A soap bubble usually pops because some part of it becomes too thin due to evaporation or drainage of fluid. The change in thick

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

To understand why the change in thickness also changes the color of light the bubble reflects, we definitely know that

mλ = dsinθ

when d sin θ = mλ, we expect constructive interference

d = distance between the slits

θ = the angle relative to the incident direction

m = order of the interference

Hence, a change in the thickness will also cause a change in the wavelength, and as wavelength changes, various colors are generated.

The light's path difference is therefore generated as a result of the thickness variation of the soap bubble.

One knife is longer from the cutting edge to the back of the blade. It's easier to push the longer knife through a pear and more

AlladinOne [14]

By the formula of torque balance we know that

$\tau = r\times F$

here we know that

r = distance of force

F = applied force

so here we know that as we will take large edge knife then the distance of force will increase

due to this the torque will also increase in it so it is easy to pear it

So here we can say

$F_{in}r_1 = F_{out}r_2$

$F_{out} = \frac{r_1}{r_2} F_{in}$

so output force will increase in this case

So here the correct answer would be

<em>b. the longer the knife, the stronger the output force</em>
