A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of 60 kg and the girl's mass is 50 kg. If the boy sits 1.

Answer: 1.8m

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment to solve the question which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

The boy moves in the clockwise direction towards the pivot while the girl moves in the anticlockwise direction towards the pivot.

Since moment = force × perpendicular distance

CW moments = 60×1.5 = 90Nm

ACW moments = 50×x = 50x

Equating both moments to get 'x'

90 = 50x

x =9/5

x = 1.8m

This shows that the girl must sit 1.8m from the other side for equilibrium.:

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The  frequencies are (f, f_1) =  (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  length of the ear canal is  l = 1.3 \ cm  =\frac{1.3}{100}  =  0.013 \ m

   The  speed of sound is assumed to be  v_s  =  344 \ m/s

Now  taking look at a typical  ear canal  we see that we assume it is  a  closed pipe

   Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

            f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }

 substituting values  

          f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }

         f = 6615.4 \ Hz

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

        f_1 =  \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}

 substituting values  

       f_1 =  \frac{3 *  344}{4 * 0.013}

       f_1 =   19846.2 \ Hz

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child  will have an increased audible sensitivity at this  frequencies

(TCO 5) The relationship between Celsius (º C) and Fahrenheit (º F) degree of measuring temperature is linear. Find the linear e
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

Explanation:

Given that

32° F corresponds to 0 °C.  ---Point 1

212° F corresponds to 100 °C.----Point 2

We know that if two point is given that equation of line can be found as

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_2}(x-x_1)

Lets C in y- direction and F in x- direction,so we can say that

C-C_1=\dfrac{C_2-C_1}{F_2-F_2}(F-F_1)

C-0=\dfrac{100-0}{32-212}(F-32)

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)

So the linear relationship is

C=-\dfrac{10}{17}(F-32)
