Lifting a bale of cotton is no easy task. Farmer Jones wanted to store the cotton in the loft of his barn but he could not budge

the bale. He consulted the high school's science teacher for help. She suggested a simple machine.
Farmer Jones' options included an inclined plane, a fixed pulley, a block and tackle, and a lever. If he had to lift the bale of cotton to a height of fifteen feet, which would be the MOST practical solution?

A) lever
B) screw
C) inclined plane
D) block and tackle (pulley)

An inclined plane would not be practical because he would still have to push it and the amount of effort and energy would increase. A lever would not be practical because he would have to use his weight to make the bale rise 15 feet. He would also need to make sure that he has a 15 foot ladder in the first place. A screw would not be practical because he would have to drill a hole through the medium and use rotation.

A pulley would be the most practical way of moving the cotton bale. A pulley supports movement and will help the farmer move the bale.

<h2>Option A is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

A 10-ω resistor and a 30-ω resistor are connected in series across a 100-V battery

Total resistance = 10 + 30 = 40 ω

We have

            Voltage = Current x resistance

            100 = I x 40

              I = 2.5 A

In series current in all the resistors are same, that is 2.5 A

             Voltage in 10ω resistor, V = I x 10 = 2.5 x 10 = 25 V

In parallel connection potential in all the resistors are same.

             Voltage in 10ω resistor, V = 100 V

The ratio of the potential difference across the 10-ω resistor in the series combination to that of the 10-ω resistance connected in parallel = 25/100 = 1/4

Option A is the correct answer.

What are the effects of force on a body?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

A force acting on an object may cause the object to change shape, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate. When two objects interact with each other they exert a force on each other, the forces are equal in size but opposite in direction. Resultant force.

Argon in the amount of 0.6 kg fills a 0.05 m3 piston cylinder device at 550 kPa. The piston is now moved by changing the weights
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The final pressure in the device is 275 kPa.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amount of argon = 0.6 kg

Initial volume = 0.05 m³

Pressure = 550 kPa

Final volume = 2 initial volume

Temperature is constant.

We need to calculate the final pressure

Using ideal gas

P_{1}V_{1}=RT_{1}

P_{1}V_{1}=RT_{2}

Here, Temperature is constant

So, from equation (I) and equation (II)

P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}

P_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

P_{2}=\dfrac{550\times10^{3}\times0.05}{2\times0.05}

P_{2}=275000\ Pa

P_{2}=275\ kPa

Hence, The final pressure in the device is 275 kPa.
