One method of determining the location of the center of gravity of a person is to weigh the person as he/she lies on a board of

negligible weight supported by two scales. In one example the height of the man is 190 cm; when he lies on the board, the left scale reads 450 N and the right scale reads 390 N. The center of gravity of the man relative to his feet on the right is?

Answer:

x = 1.018 m

Explanation:

given,

height of man = 190 cm

                       = 1.9 m

scale reading on left = 450 N

scale reading on the right = 390 N

Let center of gravity of man be x distance from feet, feet is on right side.

For system to be in equilibrium moment about center should be equal to zero.

∑M = 0

now,

450(1.9 - x ) - 390 × x = 0

450(1.9 - x ) = 390 × x

855 - 450 x = 390 x

840 x = 855

 x = \dfrac{855}{840}

 x = 1.018 m

hence, point of center of gravity from feet is equal to x = 1.018 m

How fast much an 816kg Volkswagen travel to have the same momentum as (a) a 2650kg Cadillac going 16.0 km/h? (b) a 9080-kg truck
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

the car's momentum = momentum of the truck

∴

(a) 816 kg × v = 2650 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (2650 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 51.96 km/hr

(b) 816 kg × v = 9080 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (9080 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 178.04 km/hr

Answer:

Explanation:

Theorem of Binomial Distribution will apply here.

n = 29 , p = .67 , q = 0.33

mean = np = 29 x .67 = 19.43

Standard Deviation = √npq

= √29 x .67 x .33

= √6.4

= 2.53
