Explanation:

The rod is uniform, so the center of gravity is at the center, or 0.75 m from the end.  The wedge is 0.5 m from the end, so the center is 0.25 m from the wedge.

Sum the torques about the wedge (it may help to draw a diagram first).  Take counterclockwise to be positive.

∑τ = Iα

W (0.25 m) − (100 N) (0.50 m) = 0

W = 200 N

Sum the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

F − 100 N − 200 N = 0

F = 300 N

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

A sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz is moving through a solid object. If the wavelength of the sound wave is 8 m, what is th
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

v = 3200 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound wave is given as

f = 400 Hz

wavelength of the sound wave is given as

\lambda = 8 m

so now we have

speed = wavelength \times frequency

so we will have

v = (8m) \times (400 Hz)

v = 3200 m/s

A motor-driven winch pulls a 50.0 kg student 5.00 m up the rope at a constant speed of 1.25 m/s. how much power does the motor u
nadya68 [22]
Power is the rate work done given by dividing work done by unit time. It is measured in watts equivalent to J/s.
In this case the force by the student is mg = 490 N (taking g as 9.8m/s²)
Work done is given by force × distance,
Therefore, Power =(force × distance)/ time, but velocity/speed =distance/time
Thus, Power = force × speed/velocity
                     = 490 N × 1.25
                     = 612.5 J/S (Watts)
Hence, power will be 612.5 Watts.
