Class II levers like ankles and wheelbarrows are useful because they provide mechanical advantage, by amplifying the input force
to provide a greater output force. In other words, we can lift a load without having to lift the full weight of the load. Prove using a mathematical relation that Class II levers provide mechanical advantage. You will need to use the rotational equilibrium condition. It will be helpful to draw a picture indicating the movement of the load. Also, to simplify we can assume the force is still perpendicular to by considering the case when the load just starts to move.

Answer:
The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.
Explanation:
According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:
TA = W * (a * cosθ)
The torque due to effort at C point is:
TC = E * (b * cosθ)
The net torque is equal to 0, we have:
Tnet = 0
W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0
From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W

Answer:
q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m
charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.
it is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one
Explanation:
In this exercise we have two forces in balance: the electric force and the gravitational force
F_e -F_g = 0
F_e = F_g
Since the gravitational force is always attractive, the electric force must be repulsive, which implies that the electric charge in the two ships must be of the same sign.
Let's write Coulomb's law and gravitational attraction
In the exercise, indicate that the two ships are identical, therefore the masses of the ships are the same and we will place the same charge on each one.
k q² = G m²
q = m
we substitute
q = m
q = m
q = 0.861 10⁻¹⁰ m
q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m
This amount of charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.
It is also proportional to the mass of the ships with the proportionality factor found.
Suppose the ships have a mass of m = 1000 kg, let's find the cargo
q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ 10³
q = 8.61 10⁻⁸ C
this is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one
Answer:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Explanation:
According to the Wein's displacement law
Where, T be the absolute temperature and b is the Wein's displacement constant.
b = 2.898 x 10^-3 m-K
(a) T = 37°C = 37 + 273 = 310 K
(b) T = 1500°C = 1500 + 273 = 1773 K
(c) T = 5800 K
