Which of the following statements concerning the lab is TRUE?
Over [174]

Answer:

(b) To get m3 to slide, m1 must be increased, never decreased.

Explanation:

Lab experiments require attentiveness. If there is one thing missed or not taken seriously whole experiment could go wrong. In this case to slide m3 there should be more weight at m1. If the weight of m1 is lesser than m3 then the object will not slide. It will remain at the point where there is more weight. To slide an object there must be less frictional surface and more weight placed at the desired end point.

A mechanic uses a jack to lift up a car. He exerts a force of 11,000 N at a distance of 3m from the axis of rotation. How much t
pshichka [43]

Answer:

<h2>The amount of torque put on the car is 33,000Nm</h2>

Explanation:

Formula for calculating torque is expressed as T = rFsin\theta\\ where;

r is the radius of the  of the arm of the jack = 3m

F is the force exerted = 11000

\theta\\ is the angle of rotation = 90°

On substituting;

T = 3*11000sin90^{o} \\T = 3*11000 (sin90^{o} =1)\\T = 33000Nm
