Answer:

Part a)

W = 16.7 N

Part b)

r = 2.45 R

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is 1/6 times the gravity on the surface of earth

So the force due to gravity will decrease by the factor of 6

so we will have

W_{moon} = \frac{1}{6}W_{earth}

W_{moon} = \frac{1}{6}(100)

W_{moon} = 16.7 N

Part b)

For the same value of the weight as the surface of moon the acceleration due to gravity of earth must be 1/6 times

so we have

\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{GM}{6R^2}

r^2 = 6R^2

r = 2.45 R

A city of punjab has 15 percemt chance of wet weather on any given day. What is probability that it will take a week for it thre
sesenic [268]

Answer:

The probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days is 0.06166 and its standard deviation is 0.9447

Explanation:

We are given that A city of Punjab has 15 percent chance of wet weather on any given day.

So, Probability of wet weather = 0.15

Probability of not being a wet weather = 1-0.15 =0.85

We are supposed to find probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days

Total number of days in a week = 7

We will use binomial over here

n = 7

p =probability of failure = 0.15

q = probability of success=0.85

r=3

Formula :P(r=3)=^nC_r p^r q ^{n-r}

P(r=3)=^{7}C_{3} (0.15)^3 (0.85)^{7-3}\\P(r=3)=\frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} (0.15)^3 (0.85)^{7-3}\\P(r=3)=0.06166

Standard deviation =\sqrt{n \times p \times q}

Standard deviation =\sqrt{7 \times 0.15 \times 0.85}

Standard deviation =0.9447

Hence The probability that it will take a week for it three wet weather on 3 separate days is 0.06166 and its standard deviation is 0.9447

8. Fig. 4.1 shows a heavy ball B of weight W suspended from a fixed beam by two ropes P and Q.
mart [117]

Answer:

The resultant tension of the two ropes is approximately 42.4 N

The length of the line representing the resultant tension is approximately 8.48 cm

Please find included  with the answer the scale drawing created with Microsoft Word

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The tension in rope P, T_P = 30 N

The tension in rope Q, T_Q = 30 N

The angle the rope, 'P', makes with the horizontal = 45°

The angle the rope, 'Q', makes with the horizontal = 45°

The scale factor of the scale diagram, S.F. = 5.0 N/cm

By the resolution of forces at equilibrium, we have;

The sum of the vertical forces, \Sigma F_y = T_P_y + T_Q_y + W = 0

∴ W = -(T_P_y + T_Q_y)

W = -(30 × sin(45°) + 30 × sin(45°)) = -42.4264068712

The weight of the heavy ball, W ≈ 42.4 N acting downwards

The sum of the horizontal forces, \Sigma F_x = T_P_x + T_Q_x  = 0

The length of the resultant force, W = W/(S.F.) ≈ 42.4 N/(5.0 N/cm) = 8.48 cm

The drawing of the vectors using the scale factor of 5.0 N/cm is created using Microsoft Word is included

Describe the parts of a lever. Include the following terms (fulcrum, resistance arm and effort arm).
yarga [219]

Answer:

hi here is your answer and this is a very important question.

Explanation:

A lever is a rigid bar with three parts: the fixed point around which the bar pivots is the fulcrum: the effort arm (in-lever arm) is the part of the lever to which force is applied; the resistance arm (out-lever arm) is the part that bears the load to be moved.
