As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence the weight of the boy w = mg  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 50 kg.

                             Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =490 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 490 N

Here newton [N] is the unit of force.

A sample of a gas in a rigid container has an initial pressure of 5 atm at a temperature of 254.5 k. The temperature is decrease
skelet666 [1.2K]

The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

P_2 = T_2 \frac{P_1}{T_1}=(101.8 K) \frac{5 atm}{254.5 K}=2 atm

So, the new pressure is 2 atm.

An Atwood's machine consists of two different masses, both hanging vertically and connected by an ideal string which passes over
Tasya [4]

Answer:

V₁ = √ (gy / 3)

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy, for which we define energy n the initial point and the point of average height and / 2

Starting point

    Em₀ = U₁ + U₂

    Em₀ = m₁ g y₁ + m₂ g y₂

Let's place the reference system at the point where the mass m1 is

     y₁ = 0

    y₂ = y

    Em₀ = m₂ g y = 2 m₁ g y

End point, at height yf = y / 2

    E_{mf} = K₁ + U₁ + K₂ + U₂

    E_{mf} = ½ m₁ v₁² + ½ m₂ v₂² + m₁ g y_{f} + m₂ g y_{f}

Since the masses are joined by a rope, they must have the same speed

     E_{mf} = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v₁² + (m₁ + m₂) g y_{f}

   E_{mf}= ½ (m₁ + 2m₁) v₁² + (m₁ + 2m₁) g y_{f}

How energy is conserved

   Em₀ =  E_{mf}

   2 m₁ g y = ½ (m₁ + 2m₁) v₁² + (m₁ + 2m₁) g y_{f}

   2 m₁ g y = ½ (3m₁) v₁² + (3m₁) g y / 2

   3/2 v₁² = 2 g y -3/2 g y

   3/2 v₁² = ½ g y

   V₁ = √ (gy / 3)
