Answer:

c.  |F_T|=8\frac{Gm^2}{d^2}

   

Explanation:

In order to calculate the gravitational force on the mass of the center, you take into account the following formula:

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r}         (1)

Furthermore, you take into account the components of the resultant vector.

By the illustration, you have that the force is given by:

F_T=F_1+F_2+F_3+F_4\\\\F_1=\frac{Gm_1m}{r^2}[-cos45\°\hat{i}+sin45\°\hat{j}]\\\\F_2=\frac{Gm_2m}{r^2}[cos45\°\hat{i}+sin45\°\hat{j}]\\\\F_3=\frac{Gm_3m}{r^2}[cos45\°\hat{i}-sin45\°\hat{j}]\\\\F_4=\frac{Gm_4m}{r^2}[-cos45\°\hat{i}-sin45\°\hat{j}]

where:

m1 = m

m2 = 2m

m3 = m

m4 = 4m

m: mass at the center of the system

The distance r is:

r=\sqrt{(\frac{d}{2})^2+(\frac{d}{2})^2}=\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}

You replace the values for all masses and sum the contributions of all forces:

F_1=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{Gm^2}{(\frac{d^2}{2})}[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]=\sqrt{2}\frac{Gm^2}{d^2}[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]\\\\F_2=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{2Gm^2}{(\frac{d^2}{2})}[\hat{i}+\hat{j}]=2\sqrt{2}\frac{Gm^2}{d^2}[\hat{i}+\hat{j}]\\\\F_3=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{Gm^2}{(\frac{d^2}{2})}[\hat{i}-\hat{j}]=\sqrt{2}\frac{Gm^2}{s^2}[\hat{i}-\hat{j}]\\\\F_4=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{4Gm^2}{(\frac{d^2}{2})}[-\hat{i}-\hat{j}]=4\sqrt{2}\frac{Gm^2}{d^2}[-\hat{i}-\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=-2\sqrt{2}\frac{Gm^2}{d^2}}[\hat{i}+\hat{j}]

and the magnitude is:

c.  |F_T|=8\frac{Gm^2}{d^2}

The sunlight that reaches Earth is generated by a transformation of _____.
Georgia [21]

nuclear energy

Explanation:

The sunlight that reaches earth is generated by a transformation of nuclear energy. Radiant energy is a from of energy that reaches the earth from nuclear reactions in the core of the sun.

  • In this process, light nuclei combines to form larger ones through the process of nuclear fusion.
  • This process does not conserve energy and mass is converted to energy.
  • The nuclear reaction produces huge energy that goes into the solar system space and lights it up.
  • Therefore, it is a transformation of nuclear energy into radiant energy.
  • The radiant energy is made up of electromagnetic radiations.

a small table has a mass of 4kg, stands on four legs, each leg having an area of 0.001 m2. what is the pressure exerted by the t
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

P = 10 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a small table, m = 4 kg

The area of each leg = 0.001 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by the table on the floor. Pressure is equal to the force per unit area. So

P=\dfrac{mg}{4\times A}\\\\P=\dfrac{4\times 10}{4\times 0.001}\\P=10000\ Pa\\\\or\\\\P=10\ kPa

So, the required pressure is 10 kPa.

How to do this, i'm completely lost

There are two torques t1 and t2 on the beam due to the weights, one torque t3 due to the weight of the beam, and one torque t4 due to the string.

You need to figure out t4 to know the tension in the string.

Since the whole thing is not moving t1 + t2 + t3 = t4.

torque t = r * F * sinФ = distance from axis of rotation * force * sin (∡ between r and F)

t1 =3.2 * 44g 
t2 = 7 * 49g 
t3 = 3.5 * 24g 

t4 = t1 + t2 + t3 = 5570,118

The t4 also is given by:

t4 = r * T * sin Ф

r = 7
Ф = 32°
T: tension in the string

T = t4 / (r * sinФ)

T = t4 / (7 * sin(32°)) 

T = 1501,6 N
