Answer:

 V = k Q/l  ln [(l +√(l² + x²)) / x]

Explanation:

The electrical potential for a continuous distribution of charges is

      V = k ∫ dq / r

Let's apply this expression to our case, define a linear charge density for the bar

           λ = dq / dy

          dq = λ dy

The distance from a point on the bar to the x-axis is

            r = √ (x² + y²)

Let's replace

          V = K ∫ λ dy /√ (x² + y²)

     

We integrate

         V = k λ ln (y + √ (x² + y²))

       

Let's evaluate between y = 0 and y = l

         V = k λ [ ln (l +√(x² + l²) - ln x]

We substitute the linear density

           V = k Q/l  ln [(l +√(l² + x²)) / x]

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 24 kg , sit in seats opposite one another, what is the moment of inertia about the rot
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one child = 16 kg

Mass of second child = 24 kg

Suppose a playground toy has two seats, each 6.1 kg, attached to very light rods of length r = 1.5 m.

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=I_{1}+I_{2}

I=(m+m_{1})\times r^2+(m+m_{2})\times r^2

m = mass of seat

m₁ =mass of one child

m₂ = mass of second child

r = radius of rod

Put the value into the formula

I=(16+6.1)\times(1.5)^2+(24+6.1)\times(1.5)^2

I=117.45\ kg-m^2

Hence, The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²
