Two boys want to balance a seesaw perfectly. One boy weighs 120 pounds and is sitting four feet from the fulcrum. The other boy

weighs 80 pounds. Where should the lighter boy sit to balance the seesaw?

Basically a distance multiplied by a weight that is equal to the distance that is going to be multiplied by the weight. (for the equation we will use X for the distance).

equation: 4 x1 20 = ? x 80

Now step one: 4(120) = X(80)  

Or another way is 480 = 80X  

480/80 = X  

48/8= X  

X = 6

I hope this could help! Sorry if it didn't make much sense otherwise!

Derive a relation between Universal Gravitational Constant (G) and Acceleration due to gravity(g)?

Suppose earth is a soid sphere which will attract the body towards its centre.So, acc. to law of gravitation force on the body will be,
F=G*m1m2/R^2
but we now that F=ma
and here accleration(a)=accleration due to gravity(g),so
force applied by earth on will also be mg
replace above F in formula by mg and solve,
F=G*mE*m/R^2                             ( here mE is mass of earth and m is mass of body)
mg=G*mEm/R^2
so,
g =G*mE/R^2

A hot-water bottle contains 787 g of water at 75∘C. If the liquid water cools to body temperature (37 ∘C), how many kilojoules o
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Q = 787 gr * 1 \frac{cal}{gr C} *(37-75)C = -29906 cal

So then the answer for this case would be 29906 cal but we need to convert this into KJ and we know that 1 cal = 4.184 J and if we convert we got:

29906 cal *\frac{4.184 J}{1 cal}* \frac{1KJ}{1000 J}= 125.127 KJ

Explanation:

For this case we know the mass of the water given :

m = 787 gr

And we know that the initial temperature for this water is T_i =75 C.

We want to cool this water to the human body temperature T_f = 37 C

Since the temperatures given are not near to 0C (fusion point) or 100C (the boling point) we don't need to use latent heat, then the only heat involved for this case is the sensible heat given by:

Q= m c_p \Delta T

Where c_p represent the specific heat for the water and this value from tables we know that c_p =1 \frac{cal}{gr C} for the water.

So then we have everything in order to replace into the formula of sensible heat and we got:

Q = 787 gr * 1 \frac{cal}{gr C} *(37-75)C = -29906 cal

So then the answer for this case would be 29906 cal but we need to convert this into KJ and we know that 1 cal = 4.184 J and if we convert we got:

29906 cal *\frac{4.184 J}{1 cal}* \frac{1KJ}{1000 J}= 125.127 KJ
