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

Complete Question

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 2 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 m.

Required:

Estimate the diameter of the pinhole.

Answer:

The diameter is $d =0.000336 m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The central maxima is $D= 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m$

The distance from the window shade is $L = 5m$

The average wavelength of the sun is mathematically evaluated as

$\lambda_{ave } = \frac{\lambda_i + \lambda_f}{2}$

Generally the visible light spectrum has a wavelength range between 400 nm to 700 nm

So the initial wavelength of the sun is $\lambda _i = 400nm$

and the final wavelength is $\lambda_f = 700nm$

Substituting this into the above equation

$\lambda_{sun} = \frac{400nm +700nm}{2}$

$= 550nm$

The diameter is evaluated as

$d = \frac{2.44 \lambda_{sun} L}{D}$

substituting values

$d = \frac{2.44 * 550*10^{-9} * 5 }{0.02}$

$d =0.000336 m$

Coulomb's Law

Given:

F = 3.0 x 10^-3 Newton

d = 6.0 x 10^2 meters

Q1 = 3.3x 10^-8 Coulombs

k = 9.0 x 10^9 Newton*m^2/Coulombs^2

Required:

Q2 =?

Formula:

F = k • Q1 • Q2 / d²

Solution:

So, to solve for Q2

Q2 = F • d²/ k • Q1

Q2 = (3.0 x 10^-3 Newton) • (6.0 x 10^2 m)² / (9.0 x 10^9 Newton*m²/Coulombs²) • (3.3x 10^-8 Coulombs)

Q2 = (3.0 x 10^-3 Newton) • (360 000 m²) / (297 Newton*m²/Coulombs)

Q2 = 1080 Newton*m²/ (297 Newton*m²/Coulombs)

Then, take the reciprocal of the denominator and start multiplying

Q2 = 1080 • 1 Coulombs/297

Q2 = 1080 Coulombs / 297

Q2 = 3.63636363636 Coulombs

Q2 = 3.64 Coulumbs

What is the net torque on the square plate, with sides 0.2 m, from each of the three forces? F1=18 N, F2=26 N, and F3=14 N. Use

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side = 0.2 m

Force $F_{1}=18\ N$

Force $F_{2}=26\ N$

Force $F_{3}=14\ N$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₁

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}d_{1}$

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{1}=-18\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{1}=-1.8\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₂

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}d_{2}$

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{2}=26\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{2}=2.6\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₃

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{3}=F_{3}d_{3}$

$\tau_{3}=(F_{3}\sin45+F_{3}\cos45)\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{3}=0.1(14\sin45+14\cos45)$

$\tau_{3}=1.92\ N-m$

We need to calculate the net torque on the square plate

$\tau=\tau_{1}+\tau_{2}+\tau_{3}$

$\tau=-1.8+2.6+1.92$

$\tau=2.72\ N-m$

Hence, The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.
