An ammeter should be connected in series with the resistor to measure the current through it. If it is connected in parallel, its low resistance would cause a short circuit.
A voltmeter should be connected in parallel with the resistor to measure the voltage across it. If connected in series, its high resistance would cause no current to flow and thus it would show a very small or no reading.
Answer:
The ratio is 1:1
Explanation:
Firstly we are told the in (a) we have a force which A given to be: FA
We are then told the are two other forces which a B and C which are equal.
These forces are given to be F and 19.5° away from A.
We are then told that the force on the elephant is now three times, of what it was when we only had force A.
Since we are told that B and C are eqaula.
If we say FA = 2N
Then in order for it to be three times, we would have to add 4N since it was the only force present at the time.
If we add two equal forces, then we can devide that 4 by 2.
We then find out that F =2N
and thus equal to FA.
Therefore the ratio of F/FA is
!:1
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The force, F, is applied at 5 cm from the elbow.
For dynamic equilibrium, the sum of moments about the elbow is zero.
Take moments about the elbow.
(5 cm)*(F N) - (30 cm)*(250 N) = 0
F = (30*250)/5 = 1500 N
Answer: 1500 N
