The mechanical advantage may be any positive number, more or less than ' 1 '.

Class II . . .
The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.
The mechanical advantage is always greater than ' 1 '.

Class III . . .

A girl playing tug-of-war with her dog pulls the dog a distance of 8.0m by exerting a force at an angle of 18° with the horizont

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25 N

Explanation:

Work is a product of force and perpendicular distance moved.

W=Fd where F is force exerted and d is perpendicular distance.

However, for this case, the distance is inclined hence resolving it to perpendicular so that it be along x-axis we have distance as $dcos\theta$

Therefore, $W=Fdcos\theta$

Making F the subject of the formula then

$F=\frac {W}{dcos\theta}$ where $\theta$ is the angle of inclination. Substituting 190 J for W then 18 degrees for $\theta$ and 8 m for d then

$F=\frac {190}{8cos18^{\circ}}\approx 25N$

Measurements on the cornea of a person's eye reveal that the magnitude of the front surface radius of curvature is while the mag

(a) If the cornea were simply thin lens then power will be 43 diopters.

(b) This is a concave lens

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. Despite injury or disease, the cornea can still repair itself quickly. However, there are situations where damage is too severe for the cornea to heal on its own – such as with a deep injury to the cornea. The following symptoms may indicate that the cornea has sustained a substantial infection, injury or disease: Blurred vision Pain Redness.

Along with the anterior chamber and lens, the cornea refracts light, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 diopters.

There are two types of lenses: converging and diverging and here if the cornea was simply thin then the diverging or concave lens is used in the eyes which is thin in the center than their edges.

A 48 kg cart is sitting motionless at the top of the hill. At what height, did the cart start at, to reach 88435 J of energy at

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer : The height is 188 meters

Explanation : When the cart reached at the end from top of hill then the cart have potential energy .

Given that,

Potential energy = 88435 J

Mass of cart = 48 kg

We know that,

The potential energy is

$mgh =88435$

$h= \dfrac{88435}{48\times9.8}$

$h = 187.9 = 188\ meters$

So, the height of the top is 188 meters.
