Answer:

It is designed to accurately detect and study Muons.

Explanation:

Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is part of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of CERN and has a use as a general purpose detector. It weighs around 14000 Tonne and built around a giant solenoid magnet. That's how it got its name: Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS). It generates 4 Tesla magnetic field that is around 100000 times the Earth's magnetic field. A yoke made up of steel is used to confine this intense field. This strong magnetic field is used to bend the path of particles.

In LHC, protons are accelerated to a very high speed in clockwise and anticlockwise direction and then collided with each other. On collision particles will be sprayed out in all directions. CMS takes the photograph and collects data during these collisions. Its main purpose is to detect Muons which are around 200 times heavier than electrons.

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is a particle physic detector which is used to investigate and search for the Higgs Boson, and particles that is related to dark matter. Other goals of this experiment is to for evidence such as supersymmetry and extra dimensions. It is built on a LHC or Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland and France.

A cannon ball is launched off a 100 m cliff horizontally with an initial horizontal velocity (Vx) of 50 m/s.

denis-greek [22]

We have the equation of motion $s = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here displacement = 100 m, Initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.81 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$100 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 100 = 4.9t^2\\ \\ t = 4.52 seconds$

A cannon ball is launched off a 100 m cliff horizontally with an initial horizontal velocity (Vx) of 50 m/s will take 4.52 seconds to reach the ground.

MA seconds class lever always more than 1

Hoochie [10]

It is highly helpful to know that the mechanical advantage (M.A.) of Class two levers is usually greater than one. It is because the overall length of the Effort Arm is higher than the overall length of Load Arm. It is easily known by MA is effort arm/load arm.

!! ⬇️

The mechanical advantage of a lever of the second order is always greater than one because its effort arm is always longer than the load arm i.e. Effort arm > Load arm.

Second class lever has mechanical advantage always more than one as load is in between fulcrum and effort making the effort arm longer than the load arm.

First Class Lever -- the effort and the load on either side of the fulcrum. Some examples would be a crowbar or a seesaw. The effort is only less than the load if the load is closer to the fulcrum. The lever then acts as a force magnifier and the mechanical advantage is greater than one.
