A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 =

115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.

4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?

By what factor is the self-inductance of an air solenoid changed if its length and number of coil turns are both tripled
fredd [130]

Answer:

The new self inductance is 3 times of the initial self inductance.

Explanation:

The self inductance of a solenoid is given by :

L=\dfrac{\mu_oN^2 A}{L}

Where

N is number of turns per unit length

A is area of cross section

l is length of solenoid

If length and number of coil turns are both tripled,

l' = 3l and N' = 3N

New self inductance is given by :

L'=\dfrac{\mu_oN'^2 A}{L'}\\\\=\dfrac{\mu_o(3N)^2 A}{3L}\\\\=3\dfrac{\mu_oN^2 A}{L}\\\\=3L

So, the new self inductance is 3 times of the initial self inductance.

8. Fig. 4.1 shows a heavy ball B of weight W suspended from a fixed beam by two ropes P and Q.
mart [117]

Answer:

The resultant tension of the two ropes is approximately 42.4 N

The length of the line representing the resultant tension is approximately 8.48 cm

Please find included  with the answer the scale drawing created with Microsoft Word

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The tension in rope P, T_P = 30 N

The tension in rope Q, T_Q = 30 N

The angle the rope, 'P', makes with the horizontal = 45°

The angle the rope, 'Q', makes with the horizontal = 45°

The scale factor of the scale diagram, S.F. = 5.0 N/cm

By the resolution of forces at equilibrium, we have;

The sum of the vertical forces, \Sigma F_y = T_P_y + T_Q_y + W = 0

∴ W = -(T_P_y + T_Q_y)

W = -(30 × sin(45°) + 30 × sin(45°)) = -42.4264068712

The weight of the heavy ball, W ≈ 42.4 N acting downwards

The sum of the horizontal forces, \Sigma F_x = T_P_x + T_Q_x  = 0

The length of the resultant force, W = W/(S.F.) ≈ 42.4 N/(5.0 N/cm) = 8.48 cm

The drawing of the vectors using the scale factor of 5.0 N/cm is created using Microsoft Word is included

A penny rolls along the table for a distance of 1.3 meters. Jackie pushes it 40 centimeters further in the same direction.
brilliants [131]
40 meters times 1 meter over 100 centimeters equals 0.4 meters. 1.3 meters + 40 centimeters =. 1.3 m + 0.4 m = 1.7 m. The answer is 1.7 meters

why is a train more difficult to stop then a rolling ball even if they are traveling at the same speed? URGENT
zloy xaker [14]
Think of the formula force=mass x acceleration. even though they have the same acceleration, a train has more mass. is that helpful?
