The bouyancy force is:  

Since the wood-lead system is completely submerged, the bouyancy force 

 is FB = ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb, where Ďw is the density of water,Vl 

 is the volume of 

 the piece of lead and Vb is the volume of the wooden block. The weight of the

  combined lead and wooden block is: W = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb. Since the system is 

 in equilibrium, the bouyancy force must be equal to the total weight: 

 ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb 

 now we can solve for the volume of lead: 

 ĎwgVl â’ ĎlgVl = ĎbgVb â’ ĎwgVb 

 Vl(Ďw â’ Ďl) = Vb(Ďb â’ Ďw) 

 Vl =   

 Ďbâ’Ďw 

 Ďwâ’Ďl   

 Vb 

 Now we substitute the values for the density of lead Ďl = 11.3 Ă— 103kg/m3  , 

 the density of the wood and the density of water Ďw = 1000kg/m3 

 . We get: 

 Vl =   

 600â’1000 

 1000â’11300 

 (0.6m Ă— 0.25m Ă— 0.08m) = 4.66 Ă— 10â’4m3

A man is doing push-ups. he has a mass of 68 kg and his center of gravity is located at a horizontal distance of 0.70 m from his
lidiya [134]
Mass m = 68 kg
center of gravity from his palms x = 0.7 m
center of gravity from his feet x ' = 1 m
forces exerted by the floor on his palms and feet are F and F ' respectively.

with respect to palms :---------------------

( F*0 ) - (W * x ) + [ F ' * (x+x') ] = 0

             -mg*0.7 + F ' * 1.7 = 0    where W = weight = mg

F ' * 1.7 = mg * 0.7

          F ' = mg * 0.7 / 1.7

               = 68 *9.8 * ( 0.7 / 1.7 )

               = 274.4 N

with respect to feet :--------------------

( F ' * 0 ) -( W* x ' ) + [F * ( x + x') ] = 0

                -mg*1 + [ F * 1.7 ]= 0

                                 F = mg / 1.7

                                    = 392 N

The general kinematic equations of motion for vertical displacement can also be simplified significantly. Write the simplified
Setler [38]

Answer:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

Explanation:

The general kinematic equation for horizontal displacement is gives as:

Δx = v₀t + (1/2)at²

Where

Δx = change in the x direction

v₀ = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

If the body is vertically instead of horizontally, Δx is changed to Δy

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)at²

For a vertical moving body, the acceleration it experiences is the gravitational accerelation of the earth 'g'

So the equation becomes:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

kirza4 [7]
While the ball is <span>whirling overhead it is moving in a circle. It has circular velocity. More often used term is angular velocity. This comes from the fact that ball travels some angle during some time.

When it is let go ball travels in a straight line. It has linear velocity. Word "linear" means "straight".</span>
