Answer:

e. The torque is the same for all cases.

Explanation:

The formula for torque is:

τ = Fr

where,

τ = Torque

F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg

r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation

Therefore,

τ = mgr

a)

Here,

m = 200 kg

r = 2.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

b)

Here,

m = 20 kg

r = 25 m

Therefore,

τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

c)

Here,

m = 8 kg

r = 62.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>e. The torque is the same for all cases.</u>

Using a simple pendulum, we can measure. (a) Acceleration along a circle (b) Acceleration due to gravity (c) Frequency (d) None
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Period of simple pendulum is given by the expression T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}, where l is the length of pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity value.

So if we have a simple pendulum with length l we can find its period. Using the above formula we can calculate  acceleration due to gravity value of that place.

So using simple pendulum we can measure acceleration due to gravity value.

Option B is the correct answer.
