Answer:
m = 3.91 kg
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the object, m = 3.74 kg
Stretching in the spring, x = 0.0161 m
The frequency of vibration, f = 3.84 Hz
When the object is suspended, the gravitational force is balanced by the spring force as :
k = 2276.52 N/m
The frequency of vibration is given by :
m = 3.91 kg
So, the mass of the object is 3.91 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
The weight of the meterstick is:
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
from which we find the value of d2:
So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
Answer:
38 cm from q1(right)
Explanation:
Given, q1 = 3q2 , r = 60cm = 0.6 m
Let that point be situated at a distance of 'x' m from q1.
Electric field must be same from both sides to be in equilibrium(where EF is 0).
=> k q1/x² = k q2/(0.6 - x)²
=> q1(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²
=> 3q2(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²
=> 3(0.6 - x)² = x²
=> √3(0.6 - x) = ± x
=> 0.6√3 = x(1 + √3)
=> 1.03/2.73 = x
≈ 0.38 m = 38 cm = x
If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:
d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km
So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.
Moment about the pivot must be equal for the seesaw to balance. Initially, the first cat and the bowl are at 2 m from the pivot.
The moment due to cat = 5.3*2 = 10.6 kg.m
The moment due to bowl = 2.5*2 = 5 kg.m
The unbalanced moment = 10.6 - 5 = 5.6 kg.m
Therefore, the 3.7 kg cat should stand at a distance x from the pivot in left to balance the 5.6 kg.m.
That is,
3.7*x = 5.6 => x = 5.6/3.7 = 1.5134 m to the left (on the side of the bowl)
