Answer:

x = 0.6034 m

Explanation:

Given

L = 5 m

Wplank = 225 N

Wman = 522 N

d = 1.1 m

x = ?

We have to take sum of torques about the right support point.  If the board is just about to tip, the normal force from the left support will be going to zero.  So the only torques come from the weight of the plank and the weight of the man.

∑τ = 0  ⇒     τ₁ + τ₂ = 0  

Torque come from the weight of the plank = τ₁

Torque come from the weight of the man = τ₂

⇒  τ₁ = + (5 - 1.1)*(225/5)*((5 - 1.1)/2) - (1.1)*(225/5)*((1.1)/2) = 315 N-m (counterclockwise)

⇒  τ₂ = Wman*x = 522 N*x   (clockwise)

then

τ₁ + τ₂ = (315 N-m) + (- 522 N*x) = 0

⇒  x = 0.6034 m

A solid, horizontal cylinder of mass 18.0 kg and radius 1.70.0 m rotates with an angular speed of 40 rad/s about a fixed vertica
Radda [10]

Answer:39.88 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of cylinder m_1=18 kg

radius R=1.7 m

angular speed \omega =40rad/s

mass of m_2=0.8 kg dropped at r=0.3 m from center

let \omega _2 be the final angular velocity of cylinder

Conserving Angular momentum

L_1=L_2

\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}\right )\omega =\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}+m_2r^2\right )\omega _2

\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}\right )\cdot 40=\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}+0.8\cdot 0.3^2\right )\omega _2

26.01\times 40=26.082\times \omega _2

\omega _2=39.88 rad/s

How many photons are absorbed during the dental x-ray?
MariettaO [177]
<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.

Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15
n = 5.33 x 10^8 photons </span>

Two bodies of masses 1000kg and 2000kg are separated 1km which is the gravitational force between them
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the gravitational constant,

M and m are the masses of the objects,

and r is the distance between them.

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ N/m²/kg²) (1000 kg) (2000 kg) / (1000 m)²

F = 1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N
