Person is lifting a 250 N dumbbell. The weight is 30 cm from the pivot point of the elbow. What force must be exerted five from

the elbow to lift the weight? Assume everything is perpendicular.

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The force, F, is applied at 5 cm from the elbow.

For dynamic equilibrium, the sum of moments about the elbow is zero.
Take moments about the elbow.
(5 cm)*(F N) - (30 cm)*(250 N) = 0
F = (30*250)/5 = 1500 N

Answer: 1500 N

How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.

An object is dropped from a height of 75.0 m above ground level. (a) Determine the distance traveled during the first second. (b
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a)Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c)Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion

             S = ut + 0.5at²

     Here u = 0, and a = g

              S = 0.5gt²

    Distance traveled during the first second ( t =1 )

              S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 1² = 4.905 m

   Distance traveled during the first second = 4.905 m.

b)  We have equation of motion

            v² = u² + 2as

      Here u = 0, s= 75 m and a = g

           v² = 0² + 2 x g x 75 = 150 x 9.81

           v = 38.36 m/s

      Final velocity at which the object hits the ground = 38.36 m/s

c) We have S = 0.5gt²

                   75 = 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

                    t = 3.91 s

   We need to find distance traveled last second

   That is

          S = 0.5 x 9.81 x 3.91² - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2.91² = 33.45 m

   Distance traveled during the last second of motion before hitting the ground = 33.45 m

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.
Georgia [21]
The refractive index for glycerine is n_g=1.473, while for air it is n_a = 1.00.

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}
