The drawing shows Robin Hood (mass = 85.0 kg) about to escape from a dangerous situation. With one hand, he is gripping the rope

that holds up a chandelier (mass = 240 kg). When he cuts the rope where it is tied to the floor, the chandelier will fall, and he will be pulled up toward a balcony above. Ignore the friction between the rope and the beams over which it slides, and find (a) the acceleration with which Robin is pulled upward and (b) the tension in the rope while Robin escapes.

The resultant force on the system is equivalent to the difference in the weights of the chandelier and Robin Hood.
F(net) = 240g - 85g
F(net) = 155g

Robin Hood's Acceleration:
F = ma
155g = 85a
a = 17.89 m/s²

Tension = mg + ma
Tension = 85(g + a)
Tension = 2400 N

A solid weighs weighs 20g in air,a8.2g in a liquid and 18g in water. Calculate
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Weight of the body in air = 20gf ( Wa)

Weight of the body in water = 18gf ( Ws)

Weight of the body in liquid =18.2gf ( Wl)

Now,

The loss of weight in the water = 20 - 18 or, 2 gf

So the relative density of the body is = Wa / ( wa - ws )

= 20 / 2

= 10

2) The weight loss in liquid = 20 - 18.2 or, 1.8 gf

So the relative density of the liquid is =( Wa - Wl ) / ( Wa - Ws )

= 1.8 / 2

= 0.9

What simple machine makes up most of the joints in your body
Vladimir [108]
Levers
Most machines in your body are levers that consist of bones and muscles. Tendons and muscles pull on bones, making them act as levers. Joint, near where tendon is attached to bone acts as fulcrum. Muscles produce input force.

Newton's Laws
Sergio [31]

Answer:They are equal and act in opposite directions.

Explanation:Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the case of Bode's rocket, the pressurized air in the bottle forces the water to gush downward out of the bottle, causing the rocket to launch upward into the air. The force of the water gushing downward is equal to the upward force on the rocket. So, the two forces are equal and act in opposite directions.
