Answer:

Force from the support closest = 79.8 N

Force from the support furthest = 61.9 N

Explanation:

Let's say the length of the beam is L. Let's say A is the near end of the beam and B is the far end of the beam.

Draw a free body diagram. There are four forces on the beam:

Reaction force Ra at the near end (0),

Reaction force Rb at the far end (L),

Weight force of the beam Mg at the center (L/2),

Weight force of the book mg at L/4 from A.

Sum of torques at A:

∑τ = Iα

Rb (L) − Mg (L/2) − mg (L/4) = 0

Rb (L) = Mg (L/2) + mg (L/4)

Rb = ½ Mg + ¼ mg

Rb = (½ M + ¼ m) g

Rb = (½ (10.8 kg) + ¼ (3.66 kg)) (9.8 m/s²)

Rb = 61.9 N

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Ra + Rb − Mg − mg = 0

Ra = Mg + mg − Rb

Ra = (M + m) g − Rb

Ra = (10.8 kg + 3.66 kg) (9.8 m/s²) − 61.9 N

Ra = 79.8 N

single goose sounds a loud warning when an intruder enters the farmyard. Some distance from the goose, you measure the sound lev

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The sound level of the 26 geese is $Z_{26}= 96.15 dB$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sound level is $Z_1 = 81.0 \ dB$

The number of geese is $N = 26$

Generally the intensity level of sound is mathematically represented as

The intensity of sound level in dB for one goose is mathematically represented as

$Z_1 = 10 log [\frac{I}{I_O} ]$

Where I_o is the threshold level of intensity with value $I_o = 1*10^{-12} \ W/m^2$

$I$ is the intensity for one goose in $W/m^2$

For 26 geese the intensity would be

$I_{26} = 26 * I$

Then the intensity of 26 geese in dB is

$Z_{26} = 10 log[\frac{26 I }{I_o} ]$

$Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26 * [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )$

$Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26 \ \ ) * (\ \ 10 log [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )$

From the law of logarithm we have that

$Z_{26} = 10 log 26 + 10 log [\frac{I}{I_0} ]$

$= 14.15 + 82$

$Z_{26}= 96.15 dB$

Io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________. hints io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________. io i

maxonik [38]

Lo experiences tidal heating primarily because lo’s elliptical orbit causes the tidal force on lo to vary as it orbits the Jupiter. Thus, lo’s elliptical orbit is essential to its tidal heating. This elliptical orbit, in turn, is an end result of the orbital resonance among lo, Europa and ganymade. This orbital resonance origin lo to have a more elliptical orbit than it would because lo intermittently passes Europa and ganymade in the same orbital position. We cannot perceive tidal forces of tidal heating in lo but rather we foresee that they must occur based on the orbital characteristic of the moons and active volcanoes on lo is the observational evidence that tidal heating is significant in lo.

What is the role of Langerhans cells?

boyakko [2]

Langerhans cells exist on the surface of the skin. They help to protect you by keeping dangerous microbes from entering your body. Langerhans cells do this in two very different ways: by protecting your skin from infection and also by stimulating allergic reactions.
