Two children want to balance horizontally on a seesaw. The first child is sitting one meter to the left of the pivot point locat

ed at the center of mass of the seesaw. The second child has one-half the mass of the first child. Where should the second child sit to balance the seesaw?
a. 1m to the right of the pivot
b. 0.5m to the right of the pivot
c. 4m to the right of the pivot
d. 2m to the right of the pivot

Answer:

d. 2m to the right of the pivot

Explanation:

m1 = m

m2 = 0.5m

d1 = 1m

d2 = ?

from principle of moment,

CWM = ACWM

m × 1 = 0.5m × d2

d2 = m/0.5m

= 1/0.5

= 2m

The 2nd child will have to sit 2m to the right

The turning effect of a force is known as the moment. It is the product of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot or point where the object will turn.

The principle of moments states that when in

equilibrium the total sum of the anti clockwise

moment is equal to the total sum of the

clockwise moment.

When a system is stable or balance it is said to be in equilibrium as all the forces acting on the system cancel each other out.

In equilibrium

Total Anticlockwise Moment = Total

Total Anticlockwise Moment = TotalClockwise Moment

Answer:

P = 24.32 W

Explanation:

The question is, "Two resistors 5 Ω and 10 Ω are connected in parallel with a 9 V power supply. Calculate the output power of the power supply.".

The voltage of the power supply, V = 9 V

Resistor 1, R₁ = 5 Ω

R₂ = 10 Ω

The equivalent of parallel combination of resistors is given by :

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\R_{eq}=3.33\ \Omega

The power of the output is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R_{eq}}\\\\=\dfrac{9^2}{3.33}\\\\P=24.32\ W

So, the output power is equal to 24.32 W.

The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship was found to be N 37 degrees E. After the ship sailed 2.5 miles due south, the new beari
ella [17]

Answer:

The distance between the lighthouse and the ship

from the start position A = 5.08 miles

from the Final point B = 7.23 miles

Explanation:

Note: Refer the figure

Let the position of the lighthouse be 'L'  

Given:

When the ship is at the position A, ∠DAL=37°

Now, when the ship sails through a distance of 2.5 i.e at position B

mathematically,

AB=2.5 miles

∠ABL=25°

Now,

∠DAL + ∠LAB = 180°

or

37° +  ∠LAB = 180°

or

∠LAB = 180° - 37° = 143°

Also, In ΔLAB

∠LAB + ∠ABL + ∠ALB = 180°

or

143° + 25° + ∠ALB = 180°

or

∠ALB = 180° - 143° - 25° = 12°

Now using the concept of the sin law

In ΔLAB

\frac{AL}{sin25^o}=\frac{2.5}{sin12^o}

or

AL = 5.08 miles

and,

\frac{BL}{sin143^o}=\frac{2.5}{sin12^o}

or

BL = 7.23 miles

hence,

The distance between the lighthouse and the ship

from the start position A = 5.08 miles

from the Final point B = 7.23 miles
