Answer:

zero.

Explanation:

The condition for an object to be in equilibrium is that there is no resulting force acting on it, in other words, that the force on the object is zero:

F=0

and by Newton's second law we know that

F=ma

where m is the mass of the object, and a its acceleration.

So combining the two things:

F=ma=0

⇒ma=0, This equation is fulfilled when a=0

Wich tells us that for the the block to be in equilibrium, the acceleration must be zero:

a=0

If F1 is the magnitude of the force exerted
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: 3. F1 = F2

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's law of Gravitation</u>, the force F exerted <u>between two bodies</u> or objects of masses M and m and separated by a distance r is equal to the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance:  

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2} (1)

Where Gis the gravitational constant

Now, in the especific case of the Earth and the satellite, where the Earth has a mass M and satellite a mass m, being both separated a distance r, the force exerted  by the Earth on the satellite is:

F1=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}   (2)

And the force  exerted by the satellite on the Earth is:

F2=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}   (3)

As we can see equations (2) and (3) are equal, hence the magnitude of the gravitational force is the same for both:

F1=F2

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.

How to do this, i'm completely lost

There are two torques t1 and t2 on the beam due to the weights, one torque t3 due to the weight of the beam, and one torque t4 due to the string.

You need to figure out t4 to know the tension in the string.

Since the whole thing is not moving t1 + t2 + t3 = t4.

torque t = r * F * sinФ = distance from axis of rotation * force * sin (∡ between r and F)

t1 =3.2 * 44g 
t2 = 7 * 49g 
t3 = 3.5 * 24g 

t4 = t1 + t2 + t3 = 5570,118

The t4 also is given by:

t4 = r * T * sin Ф

r = 7
Ф = 32°
T: tension in the string

T = t4 / (r * sinФ)

T = t4 / (7 * sin(32°)) 

T = 1501,6 N
