In a butcher shop, a horizontal steel bar of mass 4.94 kg and length 1.46 m is supported by two vertical wires attached to its e

nds. The butcher hangs a sausage of mass 2.49 kg from a hook that is at a distance of 0.10 m from the left end of the bar. What is the tension in the right wire?

Answer:

Tension in right wire = 25.9N

Explanation:

I have attached a free body diagram to depict this question.

From the diagram, i have labelled the tensions in the strings T1 and T2.

While i labelled the weight of the bar as Wb and weight of sausage as Ws.

Now, when solving a problem like this we want to first remember that the beam is static; meaning it is not moving. From simple physics, this means that the sum of the forces in the y direction equals zero (i.e. the total downward forces equal the total upward forces)

Thus, from the diagram, the upward forces are T1 and T2 while the downward forces are Ws and Wb.

Thus;

T1 + T2 = Wb + Ws

We know that mass of bar = 4.94kg. Thus, Weight of bar(Wb) = mg = 4.94 x 9.81 = 48.46N

Also, weight of sausage (Ws) = mg = 2.49 x 9.81 = 24.43N

Thus,

T1 + T2 = 48.46N + 24.43

T1 + T2 = 72.89N - - - - - (eq 1)

Now, let's take moments about the left end of the bar.

The maximum weight of the bar will act at the centre, so distance from the Wb to left end = 1.46/2 = 0.73m

So, moments about left end;

T2 x 1.46 = (Wb x 0.73) + (Ws x 0.1)

1.46T2 = (48.46 x 0.73) + (24.43 x 0.1)

1.46T2 = 35.373 + 2.443

1.46T2 = 37.816

T2 = 37.816/1.46 = 25.9N

Light of frequency 2.5 x 1015 Hz illuminates a
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

h f = W + KE

Input energy equals work function plus KE of emitted electron

W = 6.63E-34 * 2.5E15 - 6.3 * 1.6E-19

W = 6.63 * 2.5 * 10^-19 - 10.1 * E-19 ev     (1ev = 1.6E-19 J)

W = (16.6 - 10.1)E-19 = 6.5E-19 J

h f = 6.5E-19 J        for electrons to be emitted with zero KE

f = 6.5E-19 / 6.63E-34 = .98E-15 / sec = 9.8E-14 / sec  (threshold)

State and explain the kinetic theory of motion​
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: Kinetic theory or kinetic theory of gases attempts to explain overall properties of gases, such as pressure, temperature, or volume, by considering their molecular composition and motion. The theory basically states that pressure is not caused by molecules pushing each other away, like earlier scientists thought.
