I believe that the answer to this would be option C. Since sandstones are not commonly seen among river beds, the condition that would make us easier to understand as to what happened to this is how fast the river was flowing. Due to the pressure of the river, this brought other sediments with it most especially sandstones.

Which element of a valid contract is established by getting the signatures of all parties?

sweet [91]

The element of a valid contract which is established by getting the signatures of all parties is <u>mutual agreement</u>

<h3>What is an element of a valid contract?</h3>

An element of a valid contract simply refers to that promise made between two or more parties that which allow the courts to make judgement.

Some elements of valid contract are:

Offer
Acceptance
Consideration
Intention to create legal relation
Certainty and capacity.

So therefore, the element of a valid contract which is established by getting the signatures of all parties is mutual agreement

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 60 cm long and has a mass of 3.8 kg, with the center of

Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) τ = 26.58 Nm

(b) τ = 18.79 Nm

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

d₁ = perpendicular distance between ball and shoulder = 60 cm = 0.6 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.6 m)

τ₁ = 17.64 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of 60 cm = (0.4)(60 cm) = 24 cm = 0.24 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.24 m)

τ₂ = 8.94 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 17.64 Nm + 8.94 Nm

<u>τ = 26.58 Nm</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Now, the arm is at 45° below horizontal line.

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

42.42 cm = 0.4242 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.4242 m)

τ₁ = 12.47 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of (60 cm)(Cos 45°) = (0.4)(42.42 cm) = 16.96 cm = 0.1696 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.1696 m)

τ₂ = 6.32 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 12.47 Nm + 6.32 Nm

<u>τ = 18.79 Nm</u>

Water moves through a constricted pipe in steady, ideal flow. At the

Irina-Kira [14]

A) Speed in the lower section: 0.638 m/s

B) Speed in the higher section: 2.55 m/s

C) Volume flow rate: $1.8\cdot 10^{-3} m^3/s$

Explanation:

A)

To solve the problem, we can use Bernoulli's equation, which states that

$p_1 + \rho g h_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \rho g h_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

where

$p_1=1.75\cdot 10^4 Pa$ is the pressure in the lower section of the tube

$h_1 = 0$ is the heigth of the lower section

$\rho=1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of water

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$v_1$ is the speed of the water in the lower pipe

$p_2$ is the pressure in the higher section

$h_2 = 0.250 m$ is the height in the higher pipe

$v_2$ is hte speed in the higher section

We can re-write the equation as

$v_1^2-v_2^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}$ (1)

Also we can use the continuity equation, which state that the volume flow rate is constant:

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$ is the cross-section of the lower pipe, with

$r_1 = 3.00 cm =0.03 m$ is the radius of the lower pipe (half the diameter)

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$ is the cross-section of the higher pipe, with

$r_2 = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m$ (radius of the higher pipe)

So we get

$r_1^2 v_1 = r_2^2 v_2$

And so

$v_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$ (2)

Substituting into (1), we find the speed in the lower section:

$v_1^2-(\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})^2v_1^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}\\v_1=\sqrt{\frac{2(p_2-p_1+\rho g h_2)}{\rho(1-\frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4})}}=0.638 m/s$

B)

Now we can use equation (2) to find the speed in the lower section:

$v_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$

Substituting

v1 = 0.775 m/s

And the values of the radii, we find:

$v_2=\frac{0.03^2}{0.015^2}(0.638)=2.55 m/s$

C)

The volume flow rate of the water passing through the pipe is given by

$V=Av$

where

A is the cross-sectional area

v is the speed of the water

We can take any point along the pipe since the volume flow rate is constant, so

$r_1=0.03 cm$

$v_1=0.638 m/s$

Therefore, the volume flow rate is

$V=\pi r_1^2 v_1 = \pi (0.03)^2 (0.638)=1.8\cdot 10^{-3} m^3/s$
