Answer:
6.18 um
Explanation:
The plumb line will be pulled down by a combination of the gravitationall pull of Earth and of the mountain. The Earth pulls down and the mountain to the side. Because of this it will fall not in a straight line down, but slightly to the side. Since the plumb line will follow the compound gravity we can imagine a rectangle triangle formed by the plumb line, a vertical line that ends at the same height as the plumb line, and the sideways displacement.
The total gravity will be proportional to the plumb line lenght, the vertical line will be proportional to Earth's gravity and the sideways displacement to the mountain pull.
The gravity of Earth is 9.81 m/s^2
The pull of the mountain will be defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation:
Where
F: pull force
G: universal gravitational constant (6.67e-11 m^3/(kg * s)
m1: mass of the mountain
m2: mass of the plumb
r: distance between mountain and plumb (3 km in this case)
If we divide both sides by m2 we obtain the acceleration towards the mountain of the plumb
Now we need the mass of the mountain. This will be its volume times it's density. The volume depends on the radius (since we consider it as a sphere)
So, the acceleration on the plumb will be
This is very small compared to the pull of Earth, so we can make an approximation that the length of the plumb line is equal to vertical line.
We can use the principle of similar triangles to say that:
So:
Answer:
(b) Torque will increase.
Explanation:
Torque is given as the product of force and moment arm (radius).
τ = F x r
F = τ / r
where;
F is force
τ is torque
r is radius (moment arm)
Keeping force constant, we will have the following;
τ ∝ r
This shows that torque is directly proportional moment arm (radius), thus increase in moment arm, will cause increase in torque.
For instance;
let the constant force = 5 N
let the initial moment arm, r = 2m
Torque, τ = 5 N x 2m = 10 Nm
When the moment arm is increased to 4 m
Torque, τ = 5 N x 4m = 20 Nm
Therefore, at a constant force, increasing in the Moment arm, will cause increase in torque.
Coorect option is "(b) Torque will increase."
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by a force
ONE CAN perform this by doing an ideal experiment
by creating an isothermal system
its like you supply heat to a body and that body is present at very low temperature the amount of heat you supply is equal to the amount of heat lost by that body due to difference in the temperature of the body and the surrounding. heating curve will be constant as there is no change in the internal energy of the system ..
Explanation :
It is given that,
Side of square,
It is given that, the potential at point c is equal to zero.
So, potential at point a due to and is given as:
where,
So, (Since, is negative)
Hence, the potential at a due to and is equal to 0 V.
