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

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The attached image below shows the diagram of a CRT in the helmholtz coils and well labelled with details

(b). The electron will follow a circular path which travels along under constant magnetic field

r = \frac{mV}{qB}

where m = mass of electron, V = velocity of electron, q = charge of the electron and B = magnetic field strength

A white dwarf star has a density of about 1.0 x 10^9 kg/m3. If the earth were to suddenly become as dense as a white dwarf star,
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km

Explanation:

The density of an object is given as the ratio between the mass of that object and the volume occupied by that object.

Density = Mass/Volume

Now, it is given that the density of Earth has become:

Density = 1 x 10⁹ kg/m³

Mass = Mass of Earth (Constant) = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Volume = 4/3πR³ (Volume of Sphere)

R = Radius of Earth = ?

Therefore,

1 x 10⁹ kg/m³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/[4/3πR³]

4/3πR³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/(1 x 10⁹ kg/m³)

R³ = (3/4)(5.97 x 10¹⁵ m³)/π

R = ∛[0.95 x 10¹⁵ m³]

<u>R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km</u>
