Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': Load is far from fulcrum and the effort is applied near the fulcrum

Explanation:

A lever works on the principle of balancing of torques. The torque about the fulcrum by the load should be equal to the torque by the applied effort. Since we know that the torque is proportional to both the force and the distance it is applied from the distance from the axis of rotation. A lever is used when we need to lift a heavy load by utilizing this effect of the lever arm.

A mechanical disadvantage occurs when we are not able to lift the weight easily due to the fact we apply effort near the fulcrum.

Bob and Alice are solving practice problems for CSE 2320. They look at this code: for(i = 1; i <= N; i = (i*2)+17 ) for(k = i

MissTica

Answer:

Alice is correct.

The loop are dependent.

Explanation:

for(i = 1; i <= N; i = (i*2)+17 )

for(k = i+1; k <= i+N; k = k+1) // notice i in i+1 and i+N

printf("B")

This is a nested for-loop.

After the first for-loop opening, there is no block of statement to be executed rather a for-loop is called again. And the second for-loop uses the value of i from the first for-loop. The value of N is both called from outside the loop.

So, the second for-loop depend on the first for loop to get the value of i. For clarity purpose, code indentation or use of curly brace is advised.

An automobile weighing 2500 lbf increases its gravitational potential energy by a magnitude of 2.25 × 104 Btu in going from an e

Mila [183]

Answer:

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.

Explanation:

The automobile weight is 2500 lbf.

The automobile increases its gravitational potential energy in $2.25 * 10^4 BTU$ . It means the mobile has increased its elevation.

The initial elevation is of 5183 ft.

The first step is to convert Btu of potential energy to adequate units to work with data previously presented.

British Thermal Unit - $1 BTU = 778.17 lbf*ft$

$2.25 * 10^4 BTU (\frac{778.17 lbf*ft}{1BTU} ) = 1.75 * 10^7 lbf * ft$

Now we have the gravitational potential energy in lbf*ft. Weight of the mobile is in lbf and the elevation is in ft. We can evaluate the expression for gravitational potential energy as follows:

$Ep = m*g*(h_2 - h_1)\\ W = m*g$
