A 4.5-kg, three legged stool supports a 89-kg person. If each leg of the stool has a cross-sectional diameter of 2.8 cm and the

weight of the person is evenly distributed, determine the pressure exerted on the floor by each leg.

Answer:

4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

F = mg

F = (m_{person}+m_{stool})g\\\\F =  (4.5 + 89)*9.8\\\\F = 916.3 N

This force is evenly distributed on the three leg

radius, r = d/2

= 2.8 / 2

= 1.4 cm = 0.014 m

total cross sectional area of the three legs, A = 3*pi*r^2

= 3\times\pi \times0.014^2\\\\= 1.847\times10^-^3m^2

Pressure due to weight,

P = Weight/A

P = / 1.847 × 10⁻³\\P = \frac{ 916.3N}{1.847\times10^-^3} \\\\P= 496032.9Pa

P = 4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

Why did scientists using classical, Newtonian physics have difficulty explaining the photoelectric effect?
alexandr402 [8]
Classical physics considered light to behave as a wave in all environments; it had a set amplitude, frequency etc. The problem was that this meant that there was a continuous variation in its properties, hence if the amplitude of the light was incresed by a bit, a phenomenon like the phhotoelectric one would become only marginally more apparent. However, in this case, there is a cutoff point which means that the only-wave theory had to be wrong.

What type of OS is very fast and small, and is often embedded, or built into the circuitry of a device?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Real time operating system (RTOS)

Explanation:

  • Real time operating system is an operating system software which is used for the real-time applications that processes the data as soon as the input comes to the system.

It is very fast because it processes the data without any buffer delays.

  • In RTOS the scheduler provides a deterministic time which is predicted for the execution pattern. In a real-time operation the system must respond to each sequence of execution within a certain time frame which is the deadline for the operation so that the next inline process can be executed. Hence it is used in embedded systems and circuitry devices.
