A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The

beam balances when a fulcrum is placed below the beam a distance 1.10 m from the 30.0-kg child. How long is the beam?

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum \frac{\lambda}{2}

here  λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = \frac{\lambda}{2}  

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength    .............1

frequency  = \frac{340}{2}  

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

What must the driver do when approaching an intersection and seeing the traffic light turn from green to yellow?
NISA [10]
The person should start to slow down but if close enough or in the intersection go threw. Otherwise come to a complete stop until the light turns green again

Using diagram differentiate between solenoid and a toroid
damaskus [11]

The Toroid is form when you have wound conductor around circular body. In this case you have magnatic field inside the core but you dont have any poles because circular body dont have ends. This can be used where you want minimum flux leakage and dont need magnatic poles. i.e. toroidal inductor, toroidal transformer.


The Solenoid is forn when you wound conductor around body with limb. In this case magnatic field creates two poles N and S. Solenoids have little bit flux leakage. This used where you want magnatic poles and flux leakage is not an issue. i.e. relay, motors, electromagnates.

1 == toroid


2= solenoid

A small electric motor produces a force of 5 N that moves a remote-control car 5 m every second. How much power does the motor p
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Force, f = 5 N

Velocity, v = 5 m/s

Power, p = energy/time

Energy = mass × acceleration × distance

Poer, p = force × velocity

= 5 × 5

= 25 W.

Note 1 watt = 0.00134 horsepower

But 25 watt,

0.00134 hp/1 watt × 25 watt

= 0.0335 hp.
