<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

length L of the clapper rod for the bell to ring silently = 0.756m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of Bell;m_b = 34 kg

Distance of centre of mass from pivot;d = 0.7m

The bells moment of inertia about an axis at the pivot;I = 18 kg.m²

Mass of clapper;m_c = 1.8 kg

Length of slender rod is L

Now, the formula for period of physical pendulum having small amplitude is given as;

T_b = 2π√(I/mgd)

Where;

I is moment of inertia

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

d is distance from rotation axis to centre of gravity

Plugging in the relevant values and using mass of bell, we have;

T_b = 2π√(18/(34*9.81*0.7)

T_b = 2π√(18/(34*9.81*0.7)

T_b = 1.745 s

Now, the formula for period for a simple pendulum which is essentially what the clapper rod is would be;

T_c = 2π√(L/g)

Now, we want to find length of clapper L.

Thus, let's make it the subject;

L = g(T_c/2π)²

Now, we are told that for the bell to ring silently, T_b = T_c.

Thus, T_c = 1.745 s.

So,

L = 9.8(1.745/2π)²

L = 0.756m
