Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 1.50 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of

410 N, and the other lifts the opposite end with a force of 710 N.
a. What is the weight of the motor?
b. Where along with the board is its center of gravity located?
c. Suppose the board is not light but weighs 200, with its center of gravity at its center, and the two people each exert the same forces as before. What is the weight of the motor in this case?
d. Where is its center of gravity located?

Answer:

a) The weight of the motor is 1120 N

b) The distance of the center of gravity is 1.71 m

c) The weight of the motor is 920 N

d) The distance of the center of gravity is 1.79 m

Explanation:

a) The expression of the forces acting in the vertical direction is:

wmotor = F1 + F2

F1 = 410 N

F2 = 710 N

wmotor = 410 + 710 = 1120 N

b) The momentum of equilibrium about the center of the gravity is:

F1 * x = F2 * (l - x)

Clearing x:

x=\frac{2.7*710}{1120} =1.71m

c) The expression for the forces acting in the vertical direction is:

wboard + wmotor = F1 + F2

wmotor = F1 + F2 - wboard

wmotor = 410 + 710 - 200

wmotor = 920 N

d) The same that b)

w_{motor} (\frac{l}{2} )+w_{board} x=F_{2} l\\x=\frac{2.7*710-200\frac{2.7}{2} }{920} =1.79m

tom does not reallt want to give away blue marbles and would like to change the probability that he chooses a blue marble to one
Llana [10]
We don't know how many of ANY color are in the bag right now, so there's no way to calculate an answer.

What Tom has to do is make sure that the number of marbles that are NOT blue is NINE TIMES the number of blue ones in the bag.

Automobile traveling at 65 mph constant on the road described below. Find rate at which radar must rotate when theta = 15 deg. A
Finger [1]

Answer:

The rate at which radar must rotate is 0.335 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 65 m/h = 29.0576 m/s

Angle = 15°

Suppose, the radius given by

r=(100\cos2\theta)\ m

We need to calculate the rate at which radar must rotate

Using formula of linear velocity

v=r\omega

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

Where, v = velocity

r = radius

Put the value into the formula

\omega=\dfrac{29.0576}{100\cos30}

\omega=0.335\ rad/s

Hence, The rate at which radar must rotate is 0.335 rad/s.

Please help with this science question and please explain if you can! I'm so confused
forsale [732]
In this experiment, the independent variable is the surface, the dependant variable is the distance one end of the surface must be lifted to see movement of the object, and the control variable is the object. Since the surface height at one end is changed and the object is kept the same, the only conclusion that can be made is whether the surface has an effect on the force of friction. Of course, basic physics tells you that it does, therefore A is correct.
