A 1.7m long barbell has a 20kg weight on its left and a 35kg weight on its right. (a) If you ignore the weight of the bar itself

, how far from the left end of the barbell is the center of gravity? (b) Where is the center of gravity if the 8.0 kg mass of the barbell is taken into account?

Answer:

(a) 1.08 m

(b) 1.06 m

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> calculate the center of gravity from 20kg mass

Let the center of gravity from 20kg mass = X

Applying the principle of moment; clockwise moment = ant-clockwise moment

20*X = 35*(1.7-X)

20X = 59.5 - 35X

55X = 59.5

X = 59.5/55

X = 1.08 m

Ignoring the weight of the bar, the center of gravity is 1.08m from left end of the barbell.

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the center of gravity from 20kg mass, if the 8.0kg mass of the barbell in considered.

Applying the principle of moment

(20*X)+\frac{X}{2}(\frac{8}{1.7}) = 35(1.7-X) + (\frac{1.7-X}{2})(\frac{8}{1.7})

20X + 2.353X = 59.5 -35X +2.353(1.7-X)

20X +2.353X = 59.5 -35X + 4 - 2.353X

59.706X = 63.5

X = 63.5/59.706

X = 1.06 m

considering the weight of the bar, the center of gravity is 1.06m from left end of the barbell.

Two equipotential surfaces surround a +3.10 x 10-8-c point charge. how far is the 290-v surface from the 41.0-v surface?
MrMuchimi
 T<span>he equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r 

where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance. 
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect, 

Point 1: 
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r

Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m 
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.

You want to examine the hairy details of your favorite pet caterpillar, using a lens of focal length 8.9 cm 8.9 cm that you just
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The angular magnification is M = 2.808

Explanation:

From the question we are told

           The focal length is  f = 8.9cm

          The near point is n_p = 25.0cm

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

                          M = \frac{n_p}{f}

Substituting values

                        M = \frac{25}{8.9}

                           = 2.808
