<span>The platform scale consists of a combination of third and first class levers so that the load on one lever becomes the effort that moves the next lever.Through this arrangement, a small weight can balance a massive object. If x=450 mm,determine the required mass of the counterweight S required to balance a 90-kg load, l.</span>

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti
Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

 

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

 

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

 

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

 

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

 

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

 

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m

A fish can travel 30km/h in still water. How long will it take to arrive 12km downstream in a river flowing 6km/h?
kodGreya [7K]
30 + 6 = 36

36/12 = 3



So, it would take it 3 hours to go 12 kms downstream.



Note that we added 30 and 6 because it was going downstream. If it was going upstream, then we would have had to subtract.

Kim is ice-skating going 4.6 m/s. What is her velocity after 10 seconds ?
MArishka [77]

This is a uniform rectilinear motion (MRU) exercise.

To start solving this exercise, we obtain the following data:

<h3><u>Data:</u></h3>
  • v = 4.6 m/s
  • d = ¿?
  • t = 10 sec

To calculate distance, speed is multiplied by time.

We apply the following formula: d = v * t.

We substitute the data in the formula: the <u>speed is equal to 4.6 m/s,</u> the <u>time is equal to 10 s</u>, which is left as follows:

\bf{d=4.6\dfrac{m}{\not{s}}*10\not{s} }

\bf{d=46 \ m}

Therefore, the speed at 10 seconds is 46 meters.
