Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Answer:

Fx = 35.36 N

Fy = 35.36 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The X component of the force is

Fx = Fcos∅.................. Equation 1

Where Fx = X component of the force, F = Force, ∅ = Angle to the horizontal.

Give: F = 50 N, ∅ = 45°

Substitute into equation 1

Fx = 50(cos45°)

Fx = 50(0.7071)

Fx = 35.36 N

Similarly,

For Y component

Fy = Fsin∅

Where F y = Y component

Fy = 50(sin45°)

Fy = 50(0.7071)

Fy = 35.36 N

Answer:

$u_K=0.862$

Explanation:

The force of friction between the quails feet and the ground is:

$F=m*a$

$F_K=m*a$

$F_K=u_k*m*g$

$u_K*m*g=m*a_c$

$u_K*g=a$

$u_K=\frac{a_c}{g}$

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

So the coefficient of static is solve

$u_K=\frac{\frac{v^2}{r}}{g}$

$u_K=\frac{v^2}{r*g}=\frac{(2.6m/s)^2}{0.80m*9.8m/s^2}$

$u_K=0.862$

A uniform wooden plank with a mass of 75kg and length of 5m is placed on top of a brick wall so that 1.5m of plank extends beyon

Answer:

x₂ = 1.33 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition, where the counterclockwise rotations are positive and the zero of the reference system is placed at the turning point on the wall

Στ = 0

W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the woman, W₂ the weight of the table.

Let's find the distances.

Since the table is homogeneous, its center of mass coincides with its geometric center, measured at zero.

x₁ = 2.5 -1.5 = 1 m

The distance of the person is x₂ measured from the turning point, at the point where the board begins to turn the girl must be on the left side so her torque must be negative

x₂ = $\frac{M_1g }{m_2 g} \ x_1$

let's calculate

x₂ = $\frac{100}{75} \ 1$

x₂ = 1.33 m
