A spiral staircase winds up to the top of a tower in an old castle. To measure the height of the tower, a rope is attached to th

e top of the tower and hung down the center of the staircase. However, nothing is available with which to measure the length of the rope. Therefore, at the bottom of the rope a small object is attached so as to form a simple pendulum that just clears the floor. The period of the pendulum is measured to be 5.94 s. What is the height of the tower?

Answer:

8.76762 m

Explanation:

T = Time period = 5.94 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of pendulum = Height of tower

Time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{g}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{5.94^2\times 9.81}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=8.76762\ m

The height of the tower is 8.76762 m

A 10-kilogram box is at static equilibrium, and the downward pull of gravity acting on the box is 98 newtons. What is the minimu
Nikolay [14]
The box is at equilibrium, so the net force on the box is zero (the force of gravity on the box is equal to the force exerted up on the box by the surface on which it rests.)
To pick up the box, our upward force must be greater than the force of gravity on the box (the weight). So, we must lift up the box with a force greater than 98 newtons. :)

9.80 1. The density of mercury is 13600 kg/m³. What is this value in g/cm³? 2. Find the mass of water which will fit in a large
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1. 13..6 grams per centimeters cubed.

2. Mass = 400kg

3. Volume = 200cm = 2m

Explanation:

1. The conversion for kg/m^3 to g/cm^3 is divide by 1000.

2. density=\frac{mass}{volume}

1000=\frac{mass}{2 * 1 * 0.2}

1000*0.4=mass

400kg = mass

3. density=\frac{mass}{volume}

0.6=\frac{120}{volume}

volume=\frac{120}{0.6}

volume= 200cm

Can you walk on the moon
morpeh [17]
You can. But the gravity on the moon is 1/6th the gravity on Earth. This means 300 lbs man would only weigh 50 lbs.
