(a) The stick is supported by a sharp point at the middle. On the left side, a weight of 100 g is suspended at 40 cm from the mi

ddle point. On the right hand side, a weight of 200 g is suspended. When the stick is balanced, where should the 200 g weight be suspended (how many cm from the middle point)?

Answer:

20cm

Explanation:

Hello!

remember that the condition for a body to be at rest is that the sum of its moments and its forces be zero,

To solve this problem you must draw the free body diagram of the stick (attached image) and sum up moments at point 0 (where the sharp is located), which results in the following equation

(100g)(40cm)=x(200g)

X=\frac{(100)(40)}{(200)} =20cm

A violin string vibrates at 260 Hz when unfingered. At what frequency will it vibrate if it is fingered one fourth of the way do
Advocard [28]

Answer:

346.66 Hz

Explanation:

l_1 = Length of string which is unfingered = l

l_2 = Length of string which is vibrate when fingered = l-\dfrac{1}{4}l=\dfrac{3}{4}l

f_1 = Unfingered frequency = 260 Hz

f_2 = Fingered frequency

Frequency is inversely proportional to length

f=\dfrac{1}{l}

So,

\dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{l_2}{l_1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}l}{l}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}f_1\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}260\\\Rightarrow f_2=346.66\ Hz

The frequency of the fingered string is 346.66 Hz

Exposure to the Sun's harmful infrared radiation should be kept to a minimum.
zysi [14]

Of course! If it's harmful, then your exposure to it should be kept
to a minimum.  That's a no-brainer.  But the sun's infrared radiation
is generally less harmful than its ultraviolet radiation is.

Is it accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Yes, it is <span>accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy. Some people might argue about the dark matter, but it is not yet defined properly. Different universes can be made up of different compositions but it is a fact that our universe is made of matter and energy. </span>
