A massless, rigid board is placed across two bathroom scales that are separated by a distance of 1.71 m. A person lies on the bo

ard. The scale under his head reads 475 N, and the scale under his feet reads 316 N. (a) Find the weight of the person. (b) Locate the center of gravity of the person relative to the scale beneath his head.

Answer:

Let the weight of the person be W and be located at a distance 'a' from the left scale as shown in the figure

Since the body is in equilibrium we can use equations of statics to analyse the problem.

Taking Sum of Moments about A we have

316\times 1.71-W\times a=0\\\\

Taking Sum of Moments about B we have

475\times 1.71-W\times (1.71-a)=0\\\\

Solving the above 2 equations for W and 'a' we get

316\times 1.71=W\times a\\\\475\times 1.71-W\times 1.71=-Wa\\\\\therefore W=\frac{316+475}{1}=791N\\\\\therefore a=\frac{316\times 1.71}{791}=0.683m

A 65.0-kg woman steps off a 11.0-m diving platform and drops straight down into the water. 1) If she reaches a depth of 4.60 m,
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

2160.26 N.

Explanation:

From the question,

The total energy of the woman = work done by the water.

mg(h+d) = F'×d.......................... Equation 1

m = mass of the the woman, g= acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the platform, d = depth of water reached by the woman, F'= Resistance force exerted on her by the water.

make F' the subject of the equation

F' = mg(h+d)/d............................ Equation 2

Given: m = 65.0 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 11 m, d = 4.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

F' = 65(9.8)(11+4.6)/4.6

F' = 9937.2/4.6

F' = 2160.26 N.

An object has a mass of 0.250 kg. What is the gravitational force of on the object by the earth?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

2.4525 N

Explanation:

The earths gravity is 9.81 N/Kg

And so to work this out you would multiply 9.81 by 0.250 which equals to 2.4525N

Ionic compounds form crystal structures. molecular structures. pure elements. neutral elements
Naddik [55]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are the compounds whose atoms are combined together by transfer of electrons.

An ionic compound has partial positive charge on the cation and partial negative charge on anion.

For example, NaCl is an ionic compound whose atoms are arranged orderly due to the opposite charges on its atoms.

So, an ionic compound forms a neutral compound but not a neutral element.

Thus, we can conclude that ionic compounds form crystal structures.

If the temperature is held constant during this process and the final pressure is 683 torrtorr , what is the volume of the bulb
Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume of the unknown bulb = X L

The volume of the system , after opening valve = (X + 0.72 L )

Use Boyles law gas equation,

P1V1 = P2V2 ( at temperature is constant )

Given:

P1 = 1.2 atm

P2 = 683 torr

Converting mmHg to atm,

1 atm = 760 mmHg(torr)

683 mmHg = 683/760

= 0.8987 atm

1.2X = 0.8987*(X + 0.720)

1.2X = 0.8987X + 0.6471

0.3013X = 0.6471

X = 2.15 L
