Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

1. °C= (°F-32) X 5/9. what will be the answer?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

F=9/5(°C)+32

Explanation:

Lets take an example

  • Take 25°C

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{9}{5}(25)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 9(5)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 45+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 77°F

Masja [62]

Answer:

The weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to the volume of that body. The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = Density of the person/Density of water = Weight of the person in air/Upthrust.

⇒ D₁/D₂ = W/U............................... Equation 1.

Where D₁ = Density of the person, D₂ = Density of water, W = Weight of the person in air, U = Upthrust in water.

Making D₁ the subject of the equation,

D₁ = D₂(W/U)................................... Equation 2

<em>Given: D₂ = 1000 kg/m³ , W = 509.45 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air - weight in water = 509.45 - 22.34 = 487.11 N</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

D₁ = 1000(509.45/487.11)

D₁ = 1045.86 kg/m³

Thus the weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³

The charges of two particles are as follows: Q1=2 x 10 -8 C and Q2 = 3 x 10 -7 C. Find the magnitude of the force between these
Fantom [35]

Answer:

F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

First, we will find the distance between the two particles:

r = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(z_{2}-z_{1})^2}\\

where,

r = distance between the particles = ?

(x₁, y₁, z₁) = (2, 5, 1)

(x₂, y₂, z₂) = (3, 2, 3)

Therefore,

r = \sqrt{(3-2)^2+(2-5)^2+(3-1)^2}\\r = 3.741\ m\\

Now, we will calculate the magnitude of the force between the charges by using Coulomb's Law:

F = \frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}\\

where,

F = magnitude of force = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q₁ = magnitude of first charge = 2 x 10⁻⁸ C

q₂ = magnitude of second charge = 3 x 10⁻⁷ C

r = distance between the charges = 3.741 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2)(2\ x\ 10^{-8}\ C)(3\ x\ 10^{-7}\ C)}{(3.741\ m)^2}\\

<u>F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N</u>
