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

If I were to transmit a radio wave in our three dimensional world could a fourth dimensional “being” be able to receive it?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Depends. Are you talking about a mathematical 4th dimension (in which there is infinite dimensions) or some sort of etheral dimension (in which there is no scientific evidence for)

If you mean the first then yes. But it depends how these beings exist. From our understanding we only can theorize shapes in 4-d and if we assume that there is only one universe these "beings" arleady exist and thus any message in 3-d would be sent to them like a shadow ("flat").
If they exist in a alternate "plane" then you would need some method to transverse this plan and if u did, then we would easily be able to communicate, but we would at first sound like a wild animal. They either would ignore us, not understand or perceive us, or they would attempt to send back a signal (essential they are ET's)

IF you mean the second then thats some mystic stuff and its pretty creepy (although a fun read for me :P)

An object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object. Use
shtirl [24]

Answer:

-30m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object  = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object  = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration "a" is given by:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where vf represents final velocity, vi represents initial velocity and  is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

a=\frac{50-200}{5}

a=\frac{-150}{5}

a= -30m/s

The acceleration of the object is -30m/s

Bone has a Young’s modulus of about
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bone has a Young’s modulus of about

1.8 × 1010 Pa . Under compression, it can

withstand a stress of about 1.66 × 108 Pa before breaking.

Assume that a femur (thigh bone) is 0.56 m

long, and calculate the amount of compression

this bone can withstand before breakin :).
