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

A single strain gage has a nominal resistance of 120 ohm. For a quarter bridge with 120 ohm fixed resistors, strain gauge factor
natita [175]

Answer:

Output voltage is 1.507 mV

Solution:

As per the question:

Nominal resistance, R = 120\Omega

Fixed resistance, R = 120\Omega

Gauge Factor, G.F = 2.01

Supply Voltage, V_{s} = 3\ V

Strain, \epsilon = 1000\times 10^{-6}\ strain

Now,

To calculate the output voltage, V_{o}:

WE know that strain is given by:

\epsilon = \frac{(R + R')^{2}V_{o}}{RR'V_{s}\times G.F}

Thus

V_{o} = \frac{RR'V_{s}\epsilon \times G.F}{(R + R')^{2}}

Now, substituting the suitable values in the above eqn:

V_{o} = \frac{120\times 120\times 3\times 1000\times 10^{-6}\times 2.01}{(120 + 120)^{2}}

V_{o} = 1.507\ mV

Explain what happens to the particles in a substance during a physical change.
Bingel [31]
During Physical Change there would be a re-arrangements of atoms or molecules, changes of the arrangement may be change in the distance between atoms or molecules, change in the crystal form, .....etc 

for example: water when heated it undergoes a Physical Change and turn into vapor, this means the heat cause the distance between water molecules to increase, so it transferred from the liquid form to the gas form. 

NOTE that in Physical Change there is no change in the chemical structure and the material retains all its chemical properties, and no new compounds are produced. 

again, A physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance's chemical identity. Matter undergoes chemical change when the composition of the substances changes: one or more substances combine or break up (as in a relationship) to form new substances.Physical changes occur when objects undergo a change that does not change their chemical nature. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Physical properties can be observed without changing the type of matter. Examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, and density. 

BUT in Chemical Change ( or Chemical Reaction ) there would be change in the chemical nature of the material undergoing a Chemical Change with the production of new compounds.

Identify the law, write the equation and calculate the answer to the problem below.
lyudmila [28]

Find refractive index first

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{c}{v}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1.0003}{1.33}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu =0.75

Now

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sini}{sinr}=\mu

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{sinr}=0.75

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{0.75}=sinr

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sinr=0.94

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=sin^{-1}(0.94)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=70^{\circ}

A Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670
Nikolay [14]

Answer:  459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r)  = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c =  F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2)   ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

                m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting  our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N
