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 axes of the two cylinders are parallel, but displaced from each other by a distance d, determine the resulting electric f
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

E =  ρ ( R1²) / 2 ∈o R

Explanation:

Given data

two cylinders are parallel

distance = d

radial distance = R

d < (R2−R1)

to find out

Express answer in terms of the variables ρE, R1, R2, R3, d, R, and constants

solution

we have two parallel cylinders

so area is 2 \pi R × l

and we apply here gauss law that is

EA = Q(enclosed) / ∈o   ......1

so first we find  Q(enclosed) = ρ Volume

Q(enclosed) = ρ ( \pi R1² × l )

so put all value in equation 1

we get

EA = Q(enclosed) / ∈o

E(2 \pi R × l)  = ρ ( \pi R1² × l ) / ∈o

so

E =  ρ ( R1²) / 2 ∈o R

A student of mass 60.0 kg, starting at rest, slides down a slide 20.0 m long, tilted at an angle of 30.0° with respect to the ho
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reaction force of inclined surface

R = mgcos30

=60 x 9.8 x .866

= 509 N

Force of kinetic friction

= .12 x 509

= 61.08 N

b )

net force downwards = mgsinθ - μmgcosθ

acceleration = g sinθ - μgcosθ

9.8 sin30 - .12 x 9.8 x cos30

= 4.9 - 1.018

a= 3.88 m /s²

c )

v² = 2as

= 2 x  3.88 x 20

v = 12.46 m /s
