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

1. How much force is needed to accelerate a 66 kg skier<br> at 2 m/sec2?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

<h2>132 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 66 × 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>132 N</h3>

A pendulum has 711 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
Anika [276]
According to law of conservation of energy, 
<span>Energy can neither be constructed nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
</span>
<span>At the highest point of the pendulum(point b), pendulum is associated with potential energy only and no kinetic energy.
</span><span>Therefore total energy at point b = potential energy = 711 J.... i
</span>
<span>At the bottom most point(point a), pendulum is associated only with kinetic energy and no potential energy.
</span>Therefore total energy at point a = kinetic energy ---- ii
<span>From i and ii,
</span>Kinetic energy = potential energy = 711 J.(Conserving energy)

Hence kinetic energy at the bottom most point is 711 J.
Hope this helps!!

Two workers are sliding 290 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 430 N while the ot
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:0.27

Explanation:

Given

One worker Pushes with force F_1=430 N

other Pulls it with a rope of rope F_2=360 N

mass of crate m=290 kg

both forces are horizontal and crate slides with a constant speed

Both forces are in the same direction so Friction will oppose the forces and will be equal in magnitude of sum of two forces because crate is moving with constant speed i.e. net force is zero on it

f_r=F_1+F_2

where f_r is the friction force

f_r=430+360

f_r=790 N

f_r=\mu N

where \muis the coefficient of static friction

N=mg

790=\mu 29\cdot 9.8

\mu =0.27

What type of fault creates huge mountains
vladimir1956 [14]

Together, normal and reverse faults are called dip-slip faults, because the movement on them occurs along the dip direction -- either down or up, respectively. Reverse faults create some of the world's highest mountain chains, including the Himalaya Mountains and the Rocky Mountains .
