Pertaining to simple machines and levers what changes when the fulcrum position is modified
1 answer:
Explanation :
Simple machines makes our work easier. Lever is one of the simple machine which consists of rigid rod that is pivoted at a fixed support called as Fulcrum.
There are three classes of lever.
Class 1 : In this type of class, fulcrum is placed in between effort and load. Hence the movement of load is in reverse direction of the movement of effort. (fig 1)
Class 2 : In this type of, the load is between the effort and the fulcrum. Hence, the movement of load is in same direction as that of the effort. (fig 2)
Class 3 : In this type of lever the effort between the load and the fulcrum. Hence, both the effort and load are in same direction. (fig 3)
Hence, when the position of fulcrum is modified the effort force changes.

Answer:
1.08 m/s
Explanation:
This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.
Time taken to fall 9.5 m
vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.
vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )
distance traveled s = 9.5 m.
Substituting these values in the equation
⇒ t= 1.392 sec
Velocity needed
We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,
So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s
hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s
