The inhabitants of a small island export a cloth made from a plant that grows only on their island. A clothier from New York, be

lieving that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travel to the island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom where strangers are offered outrageous prices initially, the clothier accepts (much to everyone's surprise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m^2. The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard^2. If the clothing maker bought 500 m^2 of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1tepiz= 0.625dollar and 0.9144m = 1yard.

Answer:

Explanation:

purchase price = 400 tepizes / m²

1 tepiz = .625 dollar

purchase price in terms of dollar = 400 x .625 dollar / m²

= 250 dollar / m²

.9144 m = 1 yard

1 m = 1.0936 yard

1m² = 1.196 yard²

price in terms of dollar / yards²

= 250 / 1.196 dollar / yard²

= 209 dollar / yard²

Price of cloth in New York = 120 dollar / yard²

loss = 209 - 120 = 89 dollar / yard²

500 m² = 500 x 1.196 yard²

= 598 yard²

net loss in purchasing 500 m² cloth

= 598 x 89

= 53222 dollar .

When you graph the motion of an object, you put _____ on the horizontal X axis and ____ on the vertical Y axis
wel
It depends upon the type of graph that you are talking about,

If the graph is Velocity - Time graph, then time lies on the X axis and speed on the Y axis.

If it is Distance - Time graph, the time lies on the X axis and distance on the Y axis.

But generally, it is ALWAYS TIME IN THE ‘X’ AXIS AND DISTANCE ON THE ‘Y’ AXIS.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

T = 37.08 [N*m]

Explanation:

We must remember that torque is defined as the product of a force by a distance. This distance is measured from the point of application of force to the center of rotation of the rotating body.

The force is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

F=m*g\\F=70*9.81\\F=686.7[N]

Now the torque can be calculated:

T=F*r\\T=686.7*0.054\\T=37.08[N*m]
