Answer:

2.56 N*m

Explanation:

Torque is force times distance, with the force being perpendicular to the distance.

If the force and distance are not perpendicular, a projection of one of the two must be used instead.

We will use the projection of the length of the shaft upon a perpendicular of the force applied. This will have a magnitude of:

Lh = L * cos(a) (I name it Lh because it is a horizontal projection in this case)

Lh = 0.2 * cos(π/5) = 0.16 m

Then:

T = f * d

T = 16 * 0.16 = 2.56 N*m

What is the correct classification of a mixture in which both a solid and a liquid are visible?
stepan [7]
<span>The answer is a heterogeneous mixture. Mixtures can be homogeneous and heterogeneous. If a solid and a liquid of a mixture cannot be separated and the difference between them is not visible, it is called homogeneous mixture (or solution). If a solid and a liquid of a mixture are visible and can be separated easily, the mixture is called heterogeneous.</span>

A book is launched up along the rough incline. Kinetic energy given to a book at initial point is 100 J. Book comes to stop at s
den301095 [7]

Answer:

(A) 60 J

Explanation:

At state 1

KE₁=100 J

At state 2

KE₂ = 0

U₂=80 J

Given that surface is rough so friction force will act in opposite to the direction of motion

Lets take work done by friction = Wfr

From work power energy

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

Wfr + U₂=ΔKE

Wfr+80 = 100

Wfr= 20 J

Now when book slides from top position then

Wfr+ U = KEf - KEi

-20 + 80 = KEf-0

KEf= 60 J

(A) 60 J
