For the last part of the lab, you should have found the mass of the meter stick. So if a mass of 85 g was placed at the 2 cm MAR
K and the pivot point was moved to the 38.6 cm MARK, what would have been the mass of the meter stick
1 answer:
Answer:
272.89g
Explanation:
Find the diagram to the question in the attachment below;.
Using the principle of moment to solve the question which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment.
Moment = Force * Perpendicular distance
Taking the moment of force about the pivot.
Anticlockwise moment:
The 85g mass will move in the anticlockwise
Moment of 85g mass = 85×36.6
= 3111gcm
Clockwise moment.
The mass of the metre stick M situated at the centre (50cm from each end) will move in the clockwise direction towards the pivot.
CW moment = 11.4×M = 11.4M
Equating CW moment to the ACW moment we will have;
11.4M = 3111
M = 3111/11.4
M = 272.89g
The mass of the metre stick is 272.89g

Hi there!
a)
We can begin by using the equation for energy density.
U = Energy (J)
ε₀ = permittivity of free space
E = electric field (V/m)
First, derive the equation for the electric field using Gauss's Law:
Creating a Gaussian surface being the lateral surface area of a cylinder:
Now, we can calculate the energy density using the equation:
Plug in the expression for the electric field and solve.
b)
Now, we can integrate over the volume with respect to the radius.
Recall:
Now, we can take the integral of the above expression. Let: = inner cylinder radius
= outer cylindrical shell inner radius
Total energy-field energy:
Plug in the equation for the electric field energy density and solve.
Bring constants in front and integrate. Recall the following integration rule:
Now, we can solve!
To find the total electric field energy per unit length, we can simply divide by the length, 'L'.
And here's our equation!
