First you must convert the weight to mass. So:

W = mg (assuming that gravity is 9.8 Nkg-1)

m = W/g
= 72 / 9.8
= 7.3kg

Then we can use Ep = mgh

= 7.3*9.8*1.4

= 100.1N

How do you measure loudness?
BlackZzzverrR [31]
I think the correct question would be, how do you measure sound. :)
you measure sound by using amplitude. It measures how forceful the sound is.
Thats how you know whether its loud or quite :)

Why do the lights in your home come on almost instantaneously when you turn on the switch?
arlik [135]

Answer:

here you go

Explanation:

Why do your lights actually come on almost instantaneously? ... Wiring the house in parallel does not make a difference – there is no current flowing through the light bulb when the switch is off no matter how the house is wired. If there were a current already, the light would be on!

The knee extensors insert on the tibia at an angle of 30 degrees (from the longitudinal axis of the tibia), at a distance of 3 c
Reika [66]

Answer:

the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m = 4.5 kg

radius of gyration k = 23 cm = 0.23 m

angle ∅ = 30°

∝ = 1 rad/s²

distance of 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

using the expression;

ζ = I∝

ζ = mk²∝

we substitute

ζ = 4.5 × (0.23)² × 1

ζ  = 0.23805 N-m

so

from; ζ = rFsin∅

F = ζ / rsin∅

we substitute

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × sin( 30 ° )

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × 0.5)

F F = 0.23805 / 0.015

F = 15.87 N

Therefore, the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N
