<span>The platform scale consists of a combination of third and first class levers so that the load on one lever becomes the effort that moves the next lever.Through this arrangement, a small weight can balance a massive object. If x=450 mm,determine the required mass of the counterweight S required to balance a 90-kg load, l.</span>
Group 17 is the second column from the right in the periodic table and contains six elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (As), and (Ts). Astatine and are radioactive elements with very short half-lives and thus do not occur naturally.
Answer:
The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.
For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:
U = m*g*H
where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.
Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:
K = (1/2)*m*v^2
where v is the velocity.
Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.
Uinitial = Kfinal.
m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2
v^2 = 2*g*H
v = √(2*g*H)
So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.
Work is calculated by multiplying force by the distance that the object had moved. The applied force is 60 N, moving the object by 10 m. Thus, the work does is 600 J. For the friction force which is equal to,
100N x 0.250 = 25.0 N
the work done is,
W = (60 N - 25 N) x 10 m = 350 J
The kinetic energy of the box can be equated to this force. Thus, the answer is also 350 J.
