A bicycle pedal is pushed straight downwards by a foot with a 16 Newton force. The shaft of the pedal is 20 cm long. If the shaf

t is π/5 radians past horizontal, what is the magnitude of the torque about the point where the shaft is attached to the bicycle?

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

A 45.0 kg ice skater needs a 25 N horizontal force to get moving on a smooth ice surface. What is the coefficient of friction be
SVEN [57.7K]
The horizontal force : f = k*N
k- coefficient of friction
k = f /N
N = m * g = 45 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 441.45 N
k = 25 N : 441.45 N = 0.057

The primary reason professional observatories are built on the highest mountaintops is to (a) get away from city lights; (b) be
EastWind [94]

Answer:

(c) reduce atmospheric blurring

Explanation:

Observatories are the locations used to study the celestial events, climate, astronomy etc. As the observations are made with the radio and visible light of the electromagnetic radiations. So in order to have the clear view, observatories are made at higher places far from population, in the dark areas  having clear air, where they can clearly observe the sky. Atmospheric blurring is caused by the atmospheric turbulence. That cause the light coming from the stars to get slightly refracted thus effecting the results of the telescopes. In order to overcome it observatories are made at specific places like on the highest mountaintops.
