A ruler of length 0.30m is pivoted at its centre. Equal and opposite forces of magnitude 2.0N are applied to the ends of the rul

er, creating a couple which create an angle of 50o with the ruler. What is the magnitude of the torque of the couple on the ruler.

Answer:

0.3858 Nm

Explanation:

The torque of the couple is the dot product of the force vector and the couple vector from 1 end of the ruler to the center. This equals to the product of their magnitude times the cosine() of the angle made by their direction:

T = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = Fscos(50^0) = 2 * 0.3 * 0.643 = 0.3858 Nm

If a pitch vibrates at 880 cycles, the octave below would vibrate at ____ cycles. 220 440 660 1760
eduard

Answer:

If a pitch vibrates at 880 cycles, the octave below would vibrate at 440 cycles.

Explanation:

Pitch of sound is defined as relative highest and the lowest point of sound. The pitch is dependent on frequency of vibration.

Octave is defined as a tone which is formed due to merging of two different tone. The resultant tone is merged so well that it sound like a single tone.

Thus, Number cycle in octave = \frac{number of cycles in a pitch}{2}

Number cycle in octave = \frac{880}{2}

Number cycle in octave = 440

Thus, If a pitch vibrates at 880 cycles, the octave below would vibrate at 440 cycles.

Gravity is pulling on you downwards with a force which we call your weight. The reason why you aren't accelerating downwards is
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

This force, that avoids that our body be accelerated downwards in spite of the attractive force from the earth, is called the normal force, as it is always normal to the surface on which the object is placed.

It is not the "equal and opposite force" described by Newton's Third Law of motion, because, this law says that this force acts on both bodies simultaneously, ( as a pair) so, one force is the one exerted by Earth on the body (which we call weight) and the other is exerted by us on Earth (acting at the center of the Earth, upward).

Also, the case when the normal force is equal and opposite to gravity force, is a special case, when the surface is level, and the object is at rest in the vertical direction.

Normal force can adopt any value so the combination of external forces be compliant with Newton's 2nd Law.

A man stands on a scale and holds a heavy object in his hands. What happens to the scale reading if the man quickly lifts the ob
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When he accelerates the heavy object up , the reading increases because an extra downward normal force acts on it, then scale reading returns to the same reading as when standing stationary, and then decreases as although he is lifting the heavy object , the acceleration is decreasing ,so the extra upward normal force acts.
