Describe what is inside a spring balance and explain how it works. ​

Physics
1 answer:
kotykmax [81]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The spring balance (also known as spring scale) is simply a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position.

HOW IT WORKS:

It consists of a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced.

An unknown fluid has a specific gravity of 0.750. What is the volume of 22.5 kg of this fluid?
Andru [333]
<h2>Option C is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Specific gravity of fluid = 0.750

Density of fluid = Specific gravity of fluid x Density of water

Density of fluid = 0.750 x 1000

Density of fluid = 750 kg/m³

Mass of fluid = 22.5 kg

We have

         Mass = Volume x Density

         22.5 = Volume x 750

         Volume = 0.03 m³ = 30 L

Option C is the correct answer.

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

\sum F=ma

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

\sum F = 0 (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, F_f

Given (1), we have

F-F_f = 0

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

F=F_f = 250 N

A horizontal circular platform rotates counterclockwise about its axis at the rate of 0.945 rad/s. You, with a mass of 69.7 kg,
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

317.22

Explanation:

Given

Circular platform rotates ccw 93.1kg, radius 1.93 m, 0.945 rad/s

You 69.7kg, cw 1.01m/s, at r

Poodle 20.2 kg, cw 1.01/2 m/s, at r/2

Mutt 17.7 kg, 3r/4

You

Relative

ω = v/r

= 1.01/1.93

= 0.522

Actual

ω = 0.945 - 0.522

= 0.42

I = mr^2

= 69.7*1.93^2

= 259.6

L = Iω

= 259.6*0.42

= 109.4

Poodle

Relative

ω = (1.01/2)/(1.93/2)

= 0.5233

Actual

ω = 0.945- 0.5233

= 0.4217

I = m(r/2)^2

= 20.2*(1.93/2)^2

= 18.81

L = Iω

= 18.81*0.4217

= 7.93

Mutt

Actual

ω = 0.945

I = m(3r/4)^2

= 17.7(3*1.93/4)^2

= 37.08

L = Iω

= 37.08*0.945

= 35.04

Disk

I = mr^2/2

= 93.1(1.93)^2/2

= 173.39

L = Iω

= 173.39*0.945

= 163.85

Total

L = 109.4+ 7.93+ 36.04+ 163.85

= 317.22 kg m^2/s

What humidity reading would be the driest?
Lunna [17]
The weather report never tells the "humidity" of the air.  It tells the
"RELATIVE humidity".  That's the percent of the moisture the air
COULD hold at the current temperature that it's actually holding
right now.

If the air is completely dry, then it's holding NONE of the moisture
that it COULD hold, and the relative humidity is zero percent.
