Close the switch would be the correct answer
m = mass of the car moving in horizontal circle = 1750 kg
v = Constant speed of the car moving in the horizontal circle = 15 m/s
r = radius of the horizontal circular track traced by the car = 45.0 m
F = magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the car
To move in a circle . centripetal force is required which is given as
F = m v²/r
inserting the above values in the formula
F = (1750) (15)²/(45)
F = (1750) (225)/(45)
F = 1750 x 5
F = 8750 N
** Missing information: The vertical distance from surface of liquid to bottom of the object is sought in this question, with the condition that the object is at equilibrium **
Ans: The vertical distance = y = M/(ρA)
Explanation:Support the vertical distance = y
Object's density = M/(A*h) (since A*h = volume)
By applying the condition,
(M/(Ah))/ρ = y/h
M/(ρAh) = y/h
y = M/(ρA)
F = m • a
What we know:
- Gravity: 9.8 m/s
- Force: 490 N
Equation derived:
m = F/a
m = 490/9.8
= 50 kg
