Answer:

The torque on the lever is 30.0 N m.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as tendency of a force to rotate a body around its axis. Mathematically written as:

$\tau=Force\times d\times \sin \theta$

Force applied on the lever arm at 90°= 15 N

Distance at which force is applied = d = 2.0 m

$\tau =15 N\times 2.0 m\times \sin 90^o= 30.0 N m$

The torque on the lever is 30.0 N m.

The Torque on the lever is 30Nm.

<h2>Further Explanation: </h2>

Torque

It is a measure of the amount of force acting on an object that causes the object to rotate about an axis.
Torque is a vector quantity, in the sense that it has both magnitude and direction.
Example of torque; when a push is applied on a door, then the distance to the hinge is the perpendicular distance, meaning it is at 90 degrees to the force arrow.

<h3>Calculation of Torque </h3>

Torque is calculated by the formula;

T = F x r sin θ

Where r is the length of the moment arm, F is the force making an object to rotate and θ is the angle between the force vector and the moment arm.

When the force is at right angles to the moment arm then the sin is 1 and the formula becomes;

Torque = F x r

The S.I. units of torque is Newton-meter.

<h3>In the question; </h3>

Force applied at the lever arm is 15 N

Distance from the axis of rotation to the force vector is 2.0 m

Angle between the vector force and the moment arm is 90

Therefore;

Torque = Force x perpendicular distance

= 15 N x 2.0 m

= 30 Nm

Therefore; The Torque on the lever is 30 Nm

Keywords: Torque, Force, length of the arm

. During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from th

mixer [17]

Answer:

106.7 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

$F \Delta t = m (v-u)$

where

F is the average force

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

m is the mass of the ball

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem:

m = 0.200 kg

u = 20.0 m/s

v = -12.0 m/s

$\Delta t = 60.0 ms = 0.06 s$

Solving for F,

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.200 kg) (-12.0 m/s-20.0 m/s)}{0.06 s}=-106.7 N$

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

F = 106.7 N

A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp

NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

$f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz$ is the frequency

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m$

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}$

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

$y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m$

and so, the diameter is

$d=2y = 750 m$

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

$r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m$

So the area is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2$

And since the power is

$P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W$

The average intensity is

$I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2$

A vertical cylindrical tank 10 ft in diameter, has an inflow line of 0.3 ft inside diameter and an outflow line of 0.4 ft inside

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$ , level is rising.

Explanation:

Since liquid water is a incompresible fluid, density can be eliminated of the equation of Mass Conservation, which is simplified as follows:

$\dot V_{in} - \dot V_{out} = \frac{dV_{tank}}{dt}$

$\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in}-\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}= \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out} = D_{tank}^{2} \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} \\\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{D_{in}^2 \cdot v_{in} - D_{out}^2 \cdot v_{out}}{D_{tank}^{2}}$

By replacing all known variables:

$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{(0.3 ft)^{2}\cdot (5 \frac{ft}{s} ) - (0.4 ft)^{2} \cdot (2 \frac{ft}{s} )}{(10 ft)^{2}}\\\frac{dh}{dt} = 1.3 \times 10^{-3} \frac{ft}{s}$

The positive sign of the rate of change of the tank level indicates a rising behaviour.
