Answer:
The coefficient of friction in the hall is 0.038
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the Parker, m = 73.2 kg
applied force on the parker, F = 123 N
frictional force, Fs = 27.4 N
the coefficient of friction in the hall = ?
frictional force is given by;
Fs = μN
Where;
μ is the coefficient of friction
N is normal reaction = mg
Fs = μmg
μ = Fs / mg
μ = (27.4) / (73.2 x 9.8)
μ = 0.038
Therefore, the coefficient of friction in the hall is 0.038

Answer:
The mass of the object, its acceleration due to gravity and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level.
Explanation:
gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body under influence of gravitational force by virtue of its position.
In order to determine the gravitational potential energy of the brick, we must know the mass (m) of the brick, its acceleration due to gravity (g) since it is acting under the influence of gravitational force and the distance between the top of the hill and the ground level. (The height).
Potential energy of a body is calculated as mass × acceleration due to gravity × height.
Answer: The smallest effort = 300N
Explanation:
Using one of the condition for the attainment of equilibrium:
Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moments
900 × 1 = 3 × M
Where M = the weight of the strong man
3M = 900
M = 900/3 = 300N
Therefore, 300N is the smallest effort that the strongman can use to lift the goat
<u>Answer</u>: The potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the potential difference cross the resistor, we use Ohm's Law. This law states that the potential difference across two wires is directly proportional to the current flowing through that wire.
Mathematically,
Where,
V = potential difference = ?V
I = Current flowing = 1.2 A
R = Resistor = 
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts
