When the fulcrum is shifted to the right, which side has a mechanical advantage and which side has a mechanical disadvantage?

1 answer:

8 0

The lever is a movable bar that pivots on a fulcrum attached to or positioned on or across a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or pivot.

A lever amplifies an input force to provide a greater output force, which is said to provide leverage. The ratio of the output force to the input force is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

The mechanical advantage of the lever is increased by moving the fulcrum closer to the load i.e., by shifting the fulcrum towards the right. Moving the fulcrum away from the load has mechanical disadvantage as the distance between the load and the fulcrum increases, the input force becomes greater than the output force.

Watt-hours is a measure of energy, just like kilowatt-hours. How can you convert this to Joules?

satela [25.4K]

Work with your units:

1 watt-hour = 1 (joule/second) · (hour) = 1 (joule-hour / second)

(1 joule-hour/sec) · (3600 sec/hour) = 3600 joules

So 1 watt-hour = 3,600 joules

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s for L= 1m

Explanation:

Let's use the conservation of mechanical energy, at the highest point and the lowest point

Initial. Vertical ruler

Em₀ = mg h

Final. Just before touching the floor

$Em_{f}$ = K = ½ I w²

Em₀ = $Em_{f}$

m g h = ½ I w²

The moment of inertia of a ruler that turns on one end is

I = 1/3 m L²

Let's replace

m g h = ½ (1/3 m L²) w²2

g h = 1/6 L² w²

They ask for the speed of the end so the height h is equal to the length of the ruler

g L = 1/6 L² w²

The linear and angular variables are related

v = w r

w = v / r

In this case the point of interest a in strangers r = L

g L = 1/6 L² v² / L²

v = √ 6 g L

Let's calculate

Assume that the length of the meter is L = 1 m

v = √ (6 9.8 1)

v = 7.67 m/s
