A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.

A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame so that the door can close on its own after being opened. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 5.2 Nm. What is the least force that you need to apply to the door to hold it open (in Newtons)?

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

"what is the period of one vibration of this tone?"
Viktor [21]
The full question is:
On a keyboard, you strike middle C, whose frequency is 256 Hz. What is the period of one vibration of this tone?
The period of a vibration is the time it takes for the particle to make one full oscillation. Frequency is by definition number of full oscillations per unit of time.
When the frequency is expressed in Hz that unit of time is one second.
So there is the following relation between frequency and period:
T=\frac{1}{f}
When we plug in the numbers we get:
T=\frac{1}{256}=0.0039$s

Officials begin to release water from a full man-made lake at a rate that would empty the lake in 4 weeks, but a river that can
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

5 weeks and 5 days is required to empty the lake

Explanation:

Officials begin the remove water from a full man made lake

The lake can be emptied in 4 weeks

= -1/4

A river can fill the lake up in 15 weeks

= 1/15

Let t represent the number of weeks that is required to empty the lake

= -1/t

Therefore the number of weeks it takes to empty the lake can be calculated as follows

-1/t= -1/4 + 1/15

-1/t= -11/60

Cross multiply

-11×t= -1×60

-11t= -60

t = 60/11

t= 5 5/11

Hence it takes 5 weeks and 5 days to empty the lake
