Answer:

Displacement between Fulcrum, Job and Force

Explanation:

The employment and use of levers is simple. Levers reduce the force required to do a task by introducing the concept of moment.

There are there components in a simple lever.

1) The Fulcrum

2) The Job (Load)

3) The Force (Effort)

Typically if it weren't for levers then the three points/components would be at the same point. A lever creates a displacement between all these three components create moment. The higher the displacement between the three the lower the force (effort) required to do the job (lift the load).

b. A string is wrapped around a pulley of radius 0.05 m and moment of inertia 0.2 kg  m2. If the string is pulled with a force

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

f = 8 N

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Radius of the pulley = r = 0.05 m

Moment of inertia = (I) = 0.2 kg.m^{2}

Angular acceleration = ∝ = 2 rad/sec

Based on the above information

As we know that

Torque is

$= force \times radius$

$= f \times r$

And,

Torque is also

$= moment\ of\ inertia \times angular\ acceleration$

$= I \times \alpha$

So,

We can say that

$f \times r = I \times \alpha$

$f \times 0.05 = 0.2 \times 2$

0.05f = 0.4

f = 8 N

We simply applied the above formulas

Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a xed sphere of radius R. If the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the vertical height by which it descends be h . Let it acquire velocity of v .

1/2 mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

As it leaves the surface of sphere , reaction force of surface R = 0 , so

centripetal force = mg cosθ where θ is the angular displacement from the vertex .

mv² / r = mg cosθ

(m/r )x 2gh = mg cosθ

2h / r = cosθ

cosθ = (r-h) / r

2h / r = r-h / r

2h = r-h

3h = r

h = r / 3

What affect does a tripling of the net force have upon the acceleration of the object ? Be quantitative

vovikov84 [41]

The formula of net Force is:
F = ma
where m is the mass of the object
a is the acceleration of the object

so if we triple the net force applied to the object:
3F = ma
a = 3F / m

so the acceleration will also be tripled. because from the equation, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.7 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.048 m, using a string of length 0

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Tension in the string is equal to 58.33 N ( this will be the strength of the string )

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 1.7 kg

radius of the circle r = 0.48 m $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{1.7\times 4.05^2}{0.48}=58.33N$

Kinetic energy is given 14 J

Kinetic energy is equal to $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

So $\frac{1}{2}\times 1.7\times v^2=14$

$v^2=16.47$

v = 4.05 m/sec

Centripetal force is equal to $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{1.7\times 4.05^2}{0.48}=58.33N$

So tension in the string will be equal to 58.33 N ( this will be the strength of the string )

A spherical balloon with radius r inches has volume V(r) = 4 3 πr3. Find an expression that represents the amount of air require

DerKrebs [107]

So the question ask to formulate an expression to represent the amount of air required to inflate the balloon from a radius of R+4 and the expression would be V=16pi/3*(3r^2+12r+16). I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarifications
