Answer:

the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it, used in assessing the performance of a machine.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device preserves the input power and simply trades off forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever.

A screen is placed a distance dd to the right of an object. A converging lens with focal length ff is placed between the object

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the object - image relationship of thin lens is given as;

1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Where;

s is object distance from lens

s' is the image distance from the lens

f is the focal length of the lens

Total distance of the object and image from the lens is given as;

d = s + s'

We earlier said that; 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f

Making s' the subject, we have;

s' = sf/(s - f)

Since d = s + s'

Thus;

d = s + (sf/(s - f))

Expanding this, we have;

d = s²/(s - f)

The derivative of this with respect to d gives;

d(d(s))/ds = (2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)²

Equating to zero, we have;

(2s/(s - f)) - s²/(s - f)² = 0

(2s/(s - f)) = s²/(s - f)²

Thus;

2s = s²/(s - f)

s² = 2s(s - f)

s² = 2s² - 2sf

2s² - s² = 2sf

s² = 2sf

s = 2f

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 40.0 N at the s

Mumz [18]

Answer

acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's moon,g' = 1.81 m/s²

weight of water melon on earth, W = 40 N

acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

a) Mass on the earth surface

$M = \dfrac{W}{g}$

$M = \dfrac{40}{9.8}$

M = 4.08 Kg

b) Mass on the surface of Lo

Mass of an object remain same.

Hence, mass of object at the surface of Lo = 4.08 Kg.

c) Weight at the surface of Lo

W' = m g'

W' =4.08 x 1.81

W' = 7.38 N

Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the

mash [69]

Answer:

The value is $} N = 66 \ blocks$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is $W_b = 100 \ N$

The dimension of the block is $d = 0.400 m \ X \ 0.250 \ m \ X \ 0.130 \ m$

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

$P_{2atm} = 2 * 1.013 *10^{5} = 202600 \ N/m^2$

Generally 1 atm = $1.013 *10^{5} N/m^2$

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

$A = 0.250 * 0.130$
