A crowbar 27 in. long is pivoted 8 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600 lb object

at the short end?

pivot = 8 in

Balance lenght = 27 in - 8 in = 19 in

Load x load arm = Force x force arm

Replacing:

600 lb * 8 in = F * 19

Solve for F

F = 600 * 8 / 19

F= 252.6 lb

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: $24.70 ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece $m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg$

mass of water in calorimeter $m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg$

Initial temperature of water $T_w=24^{\circ}C$

Initial temperature of lead piece $T_l=24^{\circ}C$

we know heat capacity of lead and water are $125.604 J/kg-k$ and $4.184 kJ/kg-k$ respectively

Let us take $T ^{\circ}C$ be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

$m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)$

$0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)$

$86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)$

$86-T=86.97T-2087.49$

$T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C$
