Torque =  r x F

|F| =  mg =  60 * 10 N = 600 N ( assuming g ~ 10m/s^2)

distance of fulcrum = torque / Force = 90/600 m = .15 m.

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

Julian and Joshua each maintain a constant speed as they run laps around a 400-meter track. In the time it takes Julian to compl
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the time Joshua travels 1 mile is 12.5 min

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the distance traveled on each lap,

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

    R = 400 m

    d = 1 mile (1609 m / 1 mile) = 1609 m

    L = 2 pi R

    L = 2 pi 400

    L = 2513 m

Let us form a rule of proportions if 2 turns of Julian is 3 turns Joshua, for 1 turn of Joshua how many turns Julian took

    lap Julian = 2/3 turn Joshua

Let's calculate what distance is the same for both of them since they are on the same track

    1 lap = 2513 m

    d. Julian = 2/3 2513 m

    d Julian = 1675 m distance Joshua

Let us form the last rule of three or proportions if 1609 m you travel in 12 min how long it takes to travel 1675 m

    t Julian = 1675/1609 12

    t = 12.5 s

Since this is the distance Joshua travels, this is the time Joshua travels 1 mile

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is reckless. This is because it is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure that the direction of the propeller blast is away from people or other aircraft and in a safe direction.

Explanation:

Yes, it is reckless to let the propeller blast face people and other aircraft. This is because it is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure that the direction of the propeller blast is away from people or other aircraft and in a safe direction. People and other aircraft can be injured by the debris and the rocks that are scattered by the engine of the aircraft.
