Answer:
Explanation:
Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.
Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:
Where is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when
is equal to one, solving for r:
Answer:
Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
Explanation:
Given that
Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr
Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr
Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr
If we treat as filling of tank is a work then
Work = time x rate
Lets take work is 1 unit
1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c) ---------1
1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c) ----------2
1 = 2(1/b+1/c) --------3
From equation 1 and 3
1=1(1/a+1/2)
a=2
Form equation 2
1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)
c=6
From equation 3
1 = 2(1/b+1/6)
b=3
So time taken by
A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr
B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr
C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr
So
Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
