A gardener uses a 60-N wheelbarrow to transport two bags of fertilizer weighing W = 252-N. Determine the maximum allowable horiz

ontal distance from the axle A of the wheelbarrow to the center of gravity of the second bag if she can hold only 75 N with each arm. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)

Explanation:

Let us assume that the maximum allowable horizontal distance be represented by "d".  

Therefore, torque equation about A will be as follows.

   60 \times 0.15 + 252 \times 0.15 \times 2 + 252 \times d = 2 \times 75 \times (0.7 + 0.15 + 0.15)

      d = \frac{[2 \times 75 \times (0.7+0.15+0.15) - 60 \times 0.15 - 252 \times 0.15 \times 2]}{252}

       d = 0.409 m

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum allowable horizontal distance from the axle A of the wheelbarrow to the center of gravity of the second bag if she can hold only 75 N with each arm is 0.409 m.

A vector has an x-component of length 10 and a y-component of length 3. What is the angle of the vector? (Hint: Use the inverse
Sonja [21]
The vector, the x-component and the y-component form a rectangle triangle where the vector is the hypothenuse and the x and y components are the two sides.
Calling \alpha the angle between the vector and the horizontal direction (x), the two sides are related to \alpha by
\tan \alpha  =  \frac{v_y}{v_x}
where vy and vx are the two components on the y- and x-axis. Using vx=10 and vy=3 we find
\tan \alpha  =  \frac{3}{10} =0.3
And so the angle is
\alpha = \arctan (0.3)=16.7^{\circ}

A box of paper is labeled 24lb paper. This means that 500 sheets (counted number) of paper size 17in x 22in weighs 24 pounds (Th
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The mass of a single paper  is approximately 0.047 lb/paper which in SI Units is approximately 21.77  g/paper

Explanation:

The given information on the size and the weight of paper are;

The mass of a box of 500 sheets of paper = 24 lb

The number of sheets in the paper = 500 sheets

The dimensions of the paper = 17 in. × 22 in., which is equivalent to  43.18 cm × 55.88 cm

The mass of a single paper = The mass of the box of paper/(The number of sheets of paper present in the box)

The mass of a single paper = 24 lb/500 = 0.047 lb/paper

Given that 1 lb = 453.6 g, we have;

0.047 lb/paper = 0.047 lb/paper×453.6 g/(lb) = 21.77  g/paper

The mass of a single paper  = 0.047 lb/paper = 21.77  g/paper.

An electromagnet is a device in which moving electric charges (current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. What’s one advantage
yan [13]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. One advantage of using electromagnets in devices would be that electromagnets can <span>easily be turned on and off. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Why does sand feel hot under your feet on a sunny day at the beach?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

At a sunny day at the beach, the top of the sand is warm. The radiation from the Sun heats up the surface of the sand, but sand has a low thermal conductivity, so this energy stays at the surface of the sand.

Using at least 3 to 4 complete content related sentences describe the first and second postulate of special relativity.
Andrew [12]
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. As such, perceptions of objects and time change as they approach light speed, but the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of speed. Objects will appear shortened and time will appear to slow down around an observer approaching near light speeds, but all quantities still exist as they did before and all causality is preserved, even if observers in different points or traveling at different speeds will report different things.
