Answer:

9.93 MPa

Explanation:

Given:

 - mass of the man = 68.4 kg

 - Deflection dx = 5.2 cm

 - thickness of plank t = 2.0 cm

 - width of plank w = 13.0 cm

 - Length subtended L = 2.0 m

Find:

Shear Modulus of Elasticity S :

                 S = shear stress / shear strain

                        Shear stress = F / A

                        Shear stress = 68.4*9.81 / 0.02*0.13

                        Shear stress = 258078.4615 Pa

                        Shear strain = dx / L

                        Shear Strain = 0.052 / 2

                        Shear Strain = 0.026  

Hence,

                  S = 258078.4615 / 0.026

                  S = 9.93 MPa

Pani-rosa [81]

Hooke's Law

\tt F=k.\Delta x

k = spring constant

x = stretch

F = force

Input the value

\tt \Delta x=\dfrac{F}{k}=\dfrac{25}{8}=3.125\rightarrow 3.13\:m

Does a volcano contain a medium? Does the energy travel through anything- the transverse waves?
Elza [17]

This molten rock is called magma when it is beneath the surface and lava when it erupts or flows from a volcano. Along with lava, volcanoes also release gases, ash, and rock. ... Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth's tectonic plates

A pendulum takes 4 seconds to make one complete swing. A man walks 100m in a straight line while the pendulum makes 20 complete
irina [24]

The average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.

<h3>Average velocity of the man</h3>

Total distance traveled by the man = 100 m

If 1 complete cycle = 4 s

  20 complete cycle = ?

= 20 x 4 s

= 80 s

Average velocity = total distance/total time

Average velocity = 100 m/80 s

Average velocity = 1.25 m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.
