A uniform 1.0-N meter stick is suspended horizontally by vertical strings attached at each end. A 2.0-N weight is suspended from

the 10-cm position on the stick, another 2.0-N weight is suspended from the 50 cm position, and a 3.0-N weight is suspended from the 60 cm position. What is the tension in the string attached at the 100-cm end of the stick?

Answer:

3.5 N

Explanation:

Let the 0-cm end be the moment point. We know that for the system to be balanced, the total moment about this point must be 0. Let's calculate the moment at each point, in order from 0 to 100cm

- Tension of the string attached at the 0cm end is 0 as moment arm is 0

- 2 N weight suspended from the 10 cm position: 2*10 = 20 Ncm clockwise

- 2 N weight suspended from the 50 cm position: 2*50 = 100 Ncm clockwise

- 1 N stick weight at its center of mass, which is 50 cm position, since the stick is uniform: 1*50 = 50 Ncm clockwise

- 3 N weight suspended from the 60 cm position: 3*60 = 180 Ncm clockwise

- Tension T (N) of the string attached at the 100-cm end: T*100 = 100T Ncm counter-clockwise.

Total Clockwise moment = 20 + 100 + 50 + 180 = 350Ncm

Total counter-clockwise moment = 100T

For this to balance, 100 T = 350

so T = 350 / 100 = 3.5 N

What will occur if a resistor with high resistance is inserted into a circuit?
Anton [14]
If the resistor is in series with the rest of the circuit then a is the correct answer. The voltage across the resistor in series with another resistor is
V \frac{R}{R+r}
where R is the big resistor and r is the small one and V is the total voltage drop across both.  This is called a voltage divider

A beam of light strikes one face of a window pane with an angle of incidence of 30.0°. The index of refraction of the glass is 1
natka813 [3]

Answer:

(a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle of incidence = 30.0°

Index of reflection of glass = 1.52

(a). We need to calculate the angle of refraction for the ray inside the glass

Using snell's law

\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\mu

\sin r=\dfrac{\sin i}{\mu}

Put the value into the formula

\sin r=\dfrac{\sin 30}{1.52}

r=\sin^{-1}(0.329)

r=19.26^{\circ}

(b). We know that,

The incident ray and emerging ray  is equal then the ray will be parallel.

We need to prove that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

Using formula for emerging ray

\dfrac{\sin e}{\sin r}=\mu

\sin e=\sin r\times \mu

Put the value into the formula

\sin e=0.3289\times 1.52

e=\sin^{-1}(0.499)

e=29.9\approx 30^{\circ}

So, \sin i=\sin e

This is proved.

Hence, (a). The angle of refraction is 19.26°.

(b). That is proved that the rays in air on either side of the glass are parallel to each other

If Johnny won a 300 meter race in 40 seconds, his speed would be ?
irina1246 [14]

Formula: s = d/t

s = speed

d = distance

t = time

Solve using the values we are given.

s = 300/40

s = 7.5m/s

Best of Luck!
