A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point

) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance d=0.233 m from the rock, which has a mass of 385 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight.
If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 679 N at the other end of the rod. what is the minimum total Length L of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical.

Answer:

1.52 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Maximum force=F=679 N

Mass of rock ,m=385 kg

Distance,d=0.233 m

We have to find the  minimum total length L of the rod required to move the rock.

Torque on rock=T_1=mgd=385\times 9.8\times 0.233=879.11 N

Where g=9.8m/s^2

Torque on man=T_2=Force\times distance=(L-d)\times 679=(L-0.233)\times 679

T_1=T_2

(L-0.233)\times 679=879.11

L-0.233=\frac{879.11}{679}=1.29

L=1.29+0.233=1.523\approx 1.52 m

Hence, the minimum total  length of rod=1.52 m

nalin [4]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Terrestrial planets refers to those four planets that are nearest to the sun and that lies within the asteroid belt. These planets are mainly composed of rocks or other metal objects that have a hard and resistant surface on it. They have a metal core that is molten (liquid) in nature, and atmosphere is relatively less dense, and also various geological features are present on it like the crater, volcanoes which can be observed with the help of satellites. The average densities of these planets is about four times the density of water. For example, the density of water is 1 g/cm³, whereas the density of earth is 5.5 g/cm³.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Two students designed an experiment to study the effect of solar radiations on four cities of Earth. They used a globe to repres
Furkat [3]
Great experiment !  Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment. 
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words. 

I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe.  If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.

If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons.  City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.

An automobile with an initial speed of 5.13 m/s accelerates uniformly at the rate of 3.0 m/s2. Find the final speed of the car a
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Final velocity v=19.83 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity u =5.13 m/sexc

Acceleration of automobile a=3m/sec^2

Time t =4.9 sec

We have to find the final velocity v

According to first law of motion v = u+at ,here v is the final velocity , a is acceleration and t is time

So v=5.13+3\times 4.9=19.83m/sec

So the final velocity is 19.83 m/sec
