There is a seasaw that's holding two men. The seesaw has a length of 18m that can pivot from a point at its center. Man 1 has a

weighs 75 kg, and sits 1.75m from the central pivot point. Man 2 weighs 55 kg. How far from the pivot point must man 2 sit to balance the seesaw, so that it is parallel to the ground with no one touching the ground?

Answer:

Distance=  2.3864m

Explanation:

So that the balance is in equilibrium parallel to the floor, we must match the moment each man makes with respect to the pivot point.

In many cases the point of application of force does not coincide with the point of application in the body. In this case the force acts on the object and its structure at a certain distance, by means of an element that transfers that action of this force to the object.

This combination of force applied by the distance to the point of the structure where it is applied is called the moment of force F with respect to the point. The moment will attempt a rotation shift or rotation of the object. The distance from the force to the point of application is called the arm.

Mathematically it is calculated by expression:

M= F×d

The moment caused by the first man is:

M1= 75kg × (9.81m/s²) × 1.75m= 1287.5625 N×m

The moment caused by the second man must be equal to that caused by the first by which:

M2= 1287.5625 N×m= 55kg × (9.81m/s²) × distance ⇒

⇒distance= (1287.5625 N×m)/( (55kg × (9.81m/s²) )= 2.3864m

At this distance from the pivot point, the second should sit down so that the balance is balanced parallel to the ground.

What will be the final temperature if a 4.00 g silver ring at 41.0◦C if it gives off 18.0 J of heat to the surroundings? The spe
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Final temperature, T_f=21.85^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of silver ring, m = 4 g

Initial temperature, T_i=41^{\circ}C

Heat released, Q = -18 J (as heat is released)

Specific heat capacity of silver, c=0.235\ J/g\ C

To find,

Final temperature

Solution,

The expression for the specific heat is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

Q=mc(T_f-T_i)

T_f=\dfrac{-Q}{mc}+T_i

T_f=\dfrac{-18}{4\times 0.235}+41

T_f=21.85^{\circ}

So, the final temperature of silver is 21.85 degrees Celsius.

Four resistors (67 ohm, 83 ohm, 433 ohm, and 309 ohm in that order) are connected in series to a 7.92 V battery of negligible in
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

.737 v

Explanation:

Since they are in series....they all have the same current running through them.....find the total resistance to calculate the current:

R = 67 + 83 + 433 + 309 = 892 ohm

V/R = current = 7.92 / 892 = 8.87 mAmps

Now the voltage across ecah resistor is   I R

 for the second one   8.87 ma * 83 ohm = V = .737 V
