A meter stick is free to rotate about an axis through one of its end. Find the force F needed to balance this meter stick if the

mass 60 is grams and the force F is applied at the opposite end of the stick and it makes an angle of 60° with the stick.

Answer:

Explanation:

Component of force perpendicular to stick

= F Sin 60°

=√3 / 2 F.

Taking torque about the other end

= √3 / 2 F x 1 Nm

Weight of stick = 60 gm

= 60 x 10⁻³ kg

= 60 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 N

= .588 N

This weight will act from the middle point of stick so torque about the

other end

= .588 x 1 Nm

Balancing these two torques we have

.588 = √3 /2 F

F=\frac{2\times0.588}{\sqrt{3} }

F = 0.679 N

A cake is removed from an oven at 210F and left to cool at room temperature, which is 70F.After 30 min the temperature of the ca
zhuklara [117]

Answer: The cake would be 100F after about 47 minutes

Explanation:

Initial temperature = 210F

Time at 140F = 30 minutes

At 140F the cake has lost (210-140)F

= 70F

70F is lost on 30minutes

Rate of temperature reduction

= (70/30) F/min

= 7/3F/min

To lose 110F from 210 to 100F

Temp/time = 7/3

110/t = 7/3

Cross multiply

t = 330/7

t = 47.1429minutes ~ 47min

A space probe is directly between two moons of a planet. If it is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B, but the net for
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

c. Moon A is four times as massive as moon B

Explanation:

Let's assume the:

  • mass of the object = m\,kilogram
  • mass of the moon A = M_A\,kilogram
  • mass of the moon B = M_B\,kilogram
  • distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = r\,meters

According to the given condition the object is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B

  • ∴distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = 2r\,meters

<u>As we know, gravitational force of attraction is given by:</u>

F=G\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

<em>According to the condition</em>

Force on m due toM_B=Force on m due toM_A

G\frac{m.M_A}{(2r)^2} =G\frac{m.M_B}{(r)^2}

\frac{M_A}{4r^2} =\frac{M_B}{r^2}

M_A=4M_B
