A uniform plank of length 6.1 m and mass 33 kg rests horizontally on a scaffold, with 1.6 m of the plank hanging over one end of

the scaffold. L l x How far can a painter of mass 60 kg walk on the overhanging part of the plank x before it tips? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.

Answer:

Explanation:

consider the principle of moment

when a system is in equilibrium, the clockwise moment (torque) about the pivot is equal to the counterclockwise moment ( torque). Since the plank is uniform the weight of the plank act at the middle which = 6.1 m / 2 = 3.05 m

the distance that can support the weight of the man = d

mass of the man = 70

70 × d = 33 × ( 3.05 - 1.6)

d = 47.85 / 60 = 0.798 m, if the man work beyond this point he will fall.

hoa [83]

The pairs of triangles that can be proven congruent by the hl theorem is the right angled triangle.

<h3>What is mearnt be the HL theorm?</h3>

The HL theorem is also known as the Hypothenus Leg theorem, it states that "the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent."

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

λ = 451.7 nm

Explanation:

The expression for the constructive interference of the double diffraction experiment is

          d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

   

how the experiment occurs at very small angles

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

          sin θ = y / L

we substitute

         d y / L = m λ  

         λ = \frac{d \ y}{m \ L}

let's calculate

          λ = \frac{0.342 \ 10^{-3} \ 2.80 \ 10^{-3} }{1 \ 2.12 }

          λ = 4.51699 10⁻⁷ m

          λ = 4.517 10⁻⁷ m (109 nm / 1m)

          λ = 451.7 nm
