our friend is constructing a balancing display for an art project. She has one rock on the left (ms=2.25 kgms=2.25 kg) and three

on the right (total mass mp=10.1 kgmp=10.1 kg). The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is rp=0.360 m.rp=0.360 m. Answer the two questions below, using three significant digits. Part A: What is the value of the torque (????pτp) produced by the pile of rocks? (Enter a positive value.)

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The torque produced by the pile of rocks is \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m  

b

The distance of the single for equilibrium to occur is r_s =1.62 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the left rock is  m_s = 2.25 \ kg

     The mass of the rock on the right m_p = 10.1 kg

    The distance from  fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is  r_p = 0.360 \ m

   

Generally the torque produced by the pile of rock is mathematically represented as

           \tau = m_p * g * r_p

Substituting values

         \tau = 10.1 * 9.8  * 0.360                  

          \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m      

Generally we can mathematically evaluated the distance of the the single rock that would put the system in equilibrium as follows

   The torque due to the single rock is

           \tau = m_s  * g * r_s

At equilibrium the both torque are equal

            35.63 = m_s * r_s * g

Making r_s the subject of the formula

             r_s = \frac{35.63 }{m_s * g}

Substituting values

            r_s = \frac{35.63 }{2.25 * 9.8}

            r_s =1.62 \ m

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi
LenaWriter [7]
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

A circular curve of radius 150 m is banked at an angle of 15 degrees. A 750-kg car negotiates the curve at 85.0 km/h without ski
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: a) 7.1 * 10^3 N; b) -880 N directed out of the curve.

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Newton laws, then we have the following:

Pcos 15°-N=0

Psin15°-f= m*ac

from the first we obtain N, the normal force

N=750Kg*9.8* cos (15°)= 7.1 *10^3 N

Then to calculate the frictional force (f) we can use the second equation

f=P sin (15°) -m*ac where ac is the centripetal acceletarion which is equal to v^2/r

f= 750 *9.8 sin(15°)-750*(85*1000/3600)^2/150= -880 N
