A simple pendulum consists of a 4.9 kg point mass hanging at the end of a 3.1 m long light string that is connected to a pivot p

oint. Calculate the magnitude of the torque (due to the force of gravity) around this pivot point when the string makes a 3.1 ◦ angle with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of N · m.

Answer:

8.1 N-m

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass=m=4.9 kg

Length=L=3.1 m

\theta=3.1^{\circ}

g=9.8m/s^2

We have to find the magnitude of torque (due to the force of gravity).

We know that

\tau=mgLsin\theta

Using the formula

\tau=4.9\times 9.8\times 3.1sin3.1^{\circ}

\tau=8.1 N-m

Hence, the magnitude of  torque =8.1 N-m

A uniform rod is hung at one end and is partially submerged in water. If the density of the rod is 5/9 that of water, find the f
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34  

Explanation:

Data given:

Density of the rod = 5/9 of the density of the water.

Let's denote density of Water with w

And density of rod with r

So,

r = 5/9 x w

Required:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water.

Let's denote total length of the rod with L

and length of the rod above with = y

Let's denote the density of rod = r

And density of water = w

So, the required is:

Fraction of the length of the rod above water = y/L

y/L = ?

In order to find this, we first need to find out the all type of forces acting upon the rod.

We know that, a body will come to equilibrium if the net torque acting upon a body is zero.

As, we know

F = ma

Density = m/v

m = Density x volume

Volume = Area x length = X ( L-y)

So, let's say X is the area of the cross section of the rod, so the forces acting upon it are:

F = mg

F = (Density x volume) x g

g = gravitational acceleration

F1 = X(L-y) x w x g (Force on the length of the rod submerged in water)

where,

X (L-y) = volume

w = density of water.

Another force acting upon it is:

F = mg

F2 =  X x L x r x g

Now, the torques acting upon the body:

T1 + T2 = 0

F1 ( y + (\frac{L-y}{2}) ) g sinФ - F2 x (\frac{L}{2}) x gsinФ = 0

plug in the  equations of F1 and F2 into the above equation and after simplification, we get:

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . r

where, w is the density of water and r is the density of rod.

As we know that,

r = 5/9 x w

So,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) . w = L^{2} . 5/9 x w

Hence,

(L^{2} - y^{2} ) = \frac{5L^{2} }{9}

\frac{L^{2} - y^{2}  }{L^{2} } = \frac{5}{9}

Taking L^{2} common and solving for \frac{y}{L}, we will get

\frac{y}{L} = 0.66

Hence, the fraction of the length of the rod above water = \frac{y}{L} = 0.66

and fraction of the length of the rod submerged in water = 1 - \frac{y}{L} = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34
