A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30

kg mass hanging from it at the 60-cm mark. Determine the position on the meter stick at which one would hang a third mass of 0.60 kg to keep the meter stick balanced.

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Answer:

70 cm mark

Explanation:

m1 = 0.5 kg

m2 = 0.3 kg

m3 = 0.6 kg

let the third mass is at d cm from 50 cm mark. take moments about the 50 cm mark.

Anticlockwise torque = clock wise torque

0.5 x ( 50 - 20) + 0.6 x d = 0.3 (60 - 50)

0.5 x 30 + 0.6 d = 0.3 x 10

15 + 0.6 d = 3

0.6 d = - 12

d = - 20 cm

So, it means third mass is at 20 cm right to the 50 cm mark. So, it is at 70 cm mark.

4. A weightlifter raises a mass mat a constant speed to a height h in time t. Which of the following
marishachu [46]

Answer:

<h3>a. mgh</h3>

Explanation

The work done by the lifter is equal to its potential energy since he is covering a height and under the influence of gravity.

potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

Hence the required workdone = PE = mgh

Four +2 μC charges are placed at the positions (10 cm, 0 cm), (−10 cm, 0 cm), (0 cm, 10 cm), and (0 cm, −10 cm) such that they f
mylen [45]

Answer:

The force will be zero

Explanation:

Due to the symmetric location of the +2μC charges the forces the excert over the +5μC charge will cancel each other resulting in a net force with a magnitude of zero.However in this case it would be an unstable equilibrium, very vulnerable to a kind of bucking. If the central charge is not perfectly centered on the vertical axis the forces will have components in that axis that will add together instead of canceling each other.

A roundabout in a fairground requires an input power of 2.5 kW when operating at a constant angular velocity of 0.47 rad s–1 . (
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the roundabout is rotating with uniform velocity ,

input power = frictional power

frictional power = 2.5 kW

frictional torque x angular velocity = 2.5 kW

frictional torque x .47 = 2.5 kW

frictional torque = 2.5 / .47 kN .m

= 5.32 kN . m

= 5 kN.m

b )

When power is switched off , it will decelerate because of frictional torque .
