A combination lock has a 1.3-cm-diameter knob that is part of the dial you turn to unlock the lock. To turn that knob, you twist

your wrist as you grip it between your thumb and forefinger with a force of 5.0 N . Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the knob and your fingers is 0.65.
What is the most torque that you can exert on the knob without having it slip between your fingers?

Answer:

0.04225 Nm

Explanation:

N = Force applied = 5 N

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = 0.65

d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm

r = Radius of knob = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.3}{2}=0.65\ cm

Force is given by

F=N\mu\\\Rightarrow F=5\times 0.65\\\Rightarrow F=3.25\ N

When we multiply force and radius we get torque

Torque on thumb

\tau_t=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=0.021125\ Nm

Torque on forefinger

\tau_f=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.021125\ Nm

The total torque is given by

\tau=\tau_t+\tau_f\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.021125+0.021125\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.04225\ Nm

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm

In three to five sentences, identify the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base. Use patterns in the periodic table to e
Oliga [24]

A conjugate acid is formed from the base  by accepting a proton from the acid .

A conjugate base is obtained from the Brownstead - Lowry acid when it looses a proton while the conjugate acid is obtained from the Brownstead - Lowry base when it accepts a proton. In the Brownstead - Lowry sense, acid base reaction involves the loss or gain of a proton.

Consider the hypothetical reaction; AH + :B ⇄ BH + :A. The specie BH is the conjugate acid while the specie  :B is the  Brownstead - Lowry base . The specie :A is the conjugate base while the specie AH is the  Brownstead - Lowry acid.
