A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 51 cm mark. With two nickels stacked over the 6.0 cm mark, the stick

is found to balance at the 45.0 cm mark. A nickel has a mass of 5.0 g. What is the mass of the meter stick

Answer:

65g

Explanation:

Two main conditions for equilibrium are:

I. The resultant force must be equal to zero. That is, sum of the forces acting in one direction about a point must be equal to the sum of the forces acting in the opposite direction about the same point.

II. The resultant moment must be equal to zero. That is, sum of the moments in one direction about a point must be equal to the sum of the moments in another direction about the same point.

For the above question,

the 51cm mark is the point where the resultant weight of the meter stick lies,

the pivot or point is the 45cm mark where the stick balanced when 2 nickels ( total mass (5.0g x 2) 10g were placed at the 6cm mark.

Using the conversion factor:

1000g(1kg) = 10N, we can convert mass to weight, calculate the weight of the meter stick then reconvert to mass.

That is,

mass of 2 nickels = 10g = 10/1000 = 0.01N.

Moment = Force x distance from line of force to pivot of rotation

Applying the principle of equilibrium,

Moment of left side = Moment of right side

0.01 x (45-6) = W x (51-45)

Where W = weight of the meter stick

W x 6 = 0.01 x 39

W x 6 = 0.39

W = 0.39/6

W= 0.065N

Therefore, mass of meter stick = 0.065 x 1000 = 65g.

1. Bone has a Young’s modulus of about
Blababa [14]

#1

As we know that

Y = \frac{stress}{strain}

now plug in all data into this

1.8\times 10^{10} = \frac{1.68 \times 10^8}{strain}

strain = 9.33 \times 10^{-3}

now from the formula of strain

strain = \frac{\Delta L}{L}

9.33 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{\Delta L}{0.54}

\Delta L = 5.04 \times 10^{-3} m

\Delta L = 5.04 mm

#2

As we know that

pressure * area = Force

here we know that

Area = 3.53 \times 11.6 = 40.95 m^2

P = 0.2 atm = 0.2 \times 1.01 \times 10^5 = 2.02\times 10^4 Pa

now force is given as

F = 40.95 \times (2.02\times 10^4) = 8.27 \times 10^5 N

#3

As we know that density of water will vary with the height as given below

\rho = \frac{\rho_0}{1 - \frac{\Delta P}{B}}

here we know that

\Delta P = 2600 atm = 2600 \times 1.01 \times 10^5 = 2.63\times 10^8 Pa

B = 2.3 \times 10^9 N/m^2

now density is given as

\rho = \frac{1050}{1 - \frac{2.63\times 10^8}{2.3 \times 10^9}}

\rho = 1185.3 kg/m^3

#4

as we know that pressure changes with depth as per following equation

P = P_o + \rho g h

here we know that

P = 3 P_0

now we will have

3P_0 = P_0 + \rho g h

2P_0 = \rho g h

2(1.01 \times 10^5) = 1025 (9.81)(h)

here we will have

h = 20.1 m

so it is 20.1 m below the surface

#5

Here net buoyancy force due to water and oil will balance the weight of the block

so here we will have

mg = \rho_1V_1g + \rho_2V_2g

A(0.0476)979 = 922(A)(0.0476 - x) + 1000(A)(x)

46.6 = 43.89 - 922x + 1000x

x = 3.48 cm

so it is 3.48 cm below the interface

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.
