By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:
 MA =  \frac{W}{T} 

 Where,
 W: is the load
 T: is the tension
 Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
 MA = \frac{1700}{340}
 MA = 5

 Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
 Answer:
 The mechanical advantage of this machine is:
 MA = 5

If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, what is the reaction force?
Sphinxa [80]
  • According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
  • Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
  • If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
  • And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<u>The </u><u>reaction </u><u>force </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>water </u><u>pushing </u><u>the </u><u>swimmer </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>rightward </u><u>direction</u><u>.</u>

Hope you could get an idea from here.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight  = m\times g

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

l = length of wire  = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section  = \pi r^2

r = radius of the wire = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m      (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\Delta l = change in length  = 1.99 mm = 1.99\times 10^{-3}m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Daily life examples of pressure of solids on solids?​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

There's a massive amount, just think of anything everyday. Like a table on the floor, or when your walking around and putting pressure on the floor. When you squeeze something which is solid. Anything like that will do.

Two identical point charges are 3.00 cm apart. find the charge on each of them if the force or repulsion is 4.00 x 10^-7. (Use C
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Charge on each is 2 x 10⁻¹⁰.

Explanation:

We know that Force between two point charges is given b the Coulomb's law as:

F = kq₁q₂/r^2

k = 9 x 10^9

r = 3.00 cm

= 0.03 m

q₁ = q₂

F = 4.00 x 10^-7

Rearranging the formula, we get:

F = k q²/r²

q² = Fr²/k

q² = 4 x 10⁻⁷ x 0.03²/(9x10⁹)

q² = 4 x 10⁻²⁰

q = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰

As there is force of repulsion between the charges, the charges must be both positive or both negative.
