Dinesh wants to launch a package over the garden wall to his friend on the other side. His plan is to set up a see-saw, put the

package on one end and jump on the other end. Dinesh determines that he will land on the board with a force of 1,127 newtons, and the package weighs 322 newtons. The board he is going to use for the see-saw is 9 meters long. How close to the end of the board should Dinesh put the fulcrum?

Answer:

Dinesh should put the fulcrum 2 m from himself and 7 m from the package.

Explanation:

Let the fulcrum be x meters from Dinesh's end.

The sum of clockwise moment must balance the sum of anti-clockwise moment.

Taking a moment about the fulcrum

(Force exerted by Dinesh) × (Distance of Dinesh from the fulcrum) = (Weight of the package) × (Distance of the package from the fulcrum)

Force exerted by Dinesh = 1127 N

Distance of Dinesh from the fulcrum = x m

Weight of the package = 322 N

Distance of the package from the fulcrum = (9 - x) m

1127 × x = 322 (9 - x)

1127x = 2,898 - 322x

1127x + 322x = 2,898

1449x = 2898

x = (2898/1449) = 2 m

Hence, Dinesh should put the fulcrum 2 m from himself and 7 m from the package.

Hope this Helps!!!

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock as you prepare to dock, which line should you secure first?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Bow Line

Explanation:

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock, bow line should be secured first.

1- We should cast off the bow and stern lines.

2-With the help of an oar or boat hook, keep the boat clear of the dock.

3-Leave the boat on its own for sometime and let the wind or current carry the boat away from the dock.

4 - As you see there is sufficient clearance, shift into forward gear and slowly leave the area.

Calculate the change in internal energy of the following system: A balloon is cooled by removing 0.659 kJ of heat. It shrinks on
bixtya [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

-310J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system is the sum of the heat (Q) and work (W) done on or by the system. i.e

ΔE = Q + W       ----------------------(i)

If heat is released by the system, Q is negative. Else it is positive.

If work is done on the system, W is positive. Else it is negative.

<em>In this case, the system is the balloon and;</em>

Q = -0.659kJ = -695J    [Q is negative because heat is removed from the system(balloon)]

W = +385J  [W is positive because work is done on the system (balloon)]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

ΔE = -695 + 385

ΔE = -310J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is -310J

<em>PS: The negative value indicates that the system(balloon) has lost energy to its surrounding, thereby making the process exothermic.</em>
