To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.
If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,
So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb
Answer:
1. a
2. b
3. b
Explanation:
1.
Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is the conductivity of wire.
We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:
where:
R = resistance of the wire
length of the wire
cross sectional area of the wire
from the above relation we observe that
2.
As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.
3.
Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.
