What are similarities and differences of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class levers?

1 answer:

7 0

Similarities:
-- All three classes have a fulcrum (pivot).
-- All three classes have a point where the effort force is applied.
-- All three classes have a point where the load or resistance force is applied.
-- If you can find a place to stand and a lever that's long enough,
then you can move the Earth with a 1st or 2nd Class lever.

Differences:
-- The mechanical advantage of a 1st Class lever
can be greater than 1, equal to 1, or less than 1.
-- The mechanical advantage of a 2nd Class lever is always more than 1 .
-- The mechanical advantage of a 3rd Class lever is always less than 1 .

saul85 [17]

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, $x$ , of an SHM is given by

$x = A\cos(\omega t)$

A is the amplitude and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radian.
