Answer: 9.6kg

Explanation:

According to research, a person with compromised strength in his finger can apply a normal force of 6N to either side of a pinch held object like a notebook.

Since the person is holding onto to the book vertically, the force applied on both sides of the book slightly is 6 + 6 = 12N.

If the coefficient of friction of the surface between the finger and the book cover is given as 0.80.

From the relationship,

F = uR, u is the frictional force, R is the slight resultant force exerted on both side of the book.

Therefore,

F = 0.8 × 12 = 9.6N

The max mass of book this person can hold onto vertically before it slip off his finger will be derived from the formula

F = Mg

If we take acceleration due to gravity as 10m/s², and make M the subject of formula, we have

M = F/g = 9.6/10 = 0.96kg.

Answer: The mass of the heaviest book the person can hold is 0.0157 kilogram

Explanation:

From Force F = Coefficient of friction * length

Note, average length of human fingers is 7.6inches = 0.19304 meters

F= 0.8 *0.19304

F= 0.1544 N

But F = mass m * acceleration g

Mass m = F/g

m = 0.1544/9.81

m = 0.0157 kg

People in the future may well live inside a rotating space structure that is more than 2 km in diameter. Inside the structure, p
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

diameter of the rotating space = 2 Km

Force exerted at the edge of the space = 1 g

force experienced at the half way = ?

As the object is rotating in the circular part

Force is equal to centripetal acceleration.

at the edge

g = ω² r

ω is the angular velocity of the particle

r is the radius.

now, acceleration at the half way

g' = ω² r'

g' = \omega^2 (\dfrac{r}{2})

g' =\dfrac{1}{2}(\omega^2 r)

g'=\dfrac{g}{2}

People at the halfway experience g/2

hence, the correct answer is option B

The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}. (Correct answer: A)

Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:

I = I_{D} - I_{H} (1)

Where:

  • I_{D} - Moment of inertia of the Disk.
  • I_{H} - Moment of inertia of the Hole.

Then, this formula is expanded as follows:

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot R^{2} \right) (1b)

Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole (m):

\frac{m}{M} = \frac{R^{2}}{4\cdot R^{2}}

m = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M

And the resulting equation is:

I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot M \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot R^{2} \right)

I = \frac{1}{2} \cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}

I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}

The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}. (Correct answer: A)
