A uniform meter stick is pivoted at the 50.00 cm mark on the meter stick. A 400.0 gram object is hung at the 20.0 cm mark on the

stick and a 320.0 gram object is hung at the 75.0 cm mark. Drawing is approximate. The meter stick is unbalanced. Determine the cm-mark on the meterstick that a 400 gram object needs to be hung to achieve equilibrium. A) 10.0 B) 40.0 C) 60.0 D) 90.0 E) none of the above is within 10% of my answer

Answer:C

Explanation:

Given

mass m_1=400\ gm is at x=20\ cm mark

mass m_2=320\ gm is at x=75\ cm mark

Scale is Pivoted at x=50\ cm mark

For scale to be in equilibrium net torque must be equal to zero

Taking ACW as positive thus

T_{net}=0.4\times g\times (0.5-0.2)-0.32\times g\times(0.75-0.50)

T_{net}=0.12g-0.08g=0.04g

Therefore a net torque of 0.04 g is required in CW sense which a mass 400\ gm can provide at a distance of x_o from pivot

0.04g=0.4\times g\times x_o

x_o=0.1\ m

therefore in meter stick it is at a distance of x=60\ cm

a plane travels 204 km, northeast in 15.0 minutes. It also increases elevation by 1.6 km, upward in the same amount of time. Wha
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up

Explanation:

204 kilometres = 204000 metres

15.0 minutes = 900 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time

= 204000 / 900

= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)

1.6km = 1600 metres

Velocity = 1600 / 900

= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)

The local high school is installing new bleachers at the stadium and must also add handrails to meet code. The students know the
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m

The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m

The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;

The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)

∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63

In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.
