A 9.0 m long uniform rod with a weight of 8 N has 3 masses hanging from it; a 4N mass 1 meter from the left end, a 2 N mass 6 me

ters from the left end and a 3 N mass 4 meters from the left end. What force must be applied to bring the rod into total mechanical equilibrium

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume the rod is horizontal

Sum vertical forces to zero

F - 8 - 4 - 2 - 3 = 0

F = 17 N

While this result answers precisely the question asked, it is not sufficient to guarantee equilibrium. We must also locate this force by summing moments to zero. Let's choose to sum about the left end.

8[9/2] + 4[1] + 2[6] + 3[4] - 17[x] = 0

x = 3.76470588...

the force must be supplied upward approximately 3.765 m from the left end

The rod does not actually have to be horizontal. Moment arms will all be proportionately reduced by tilting the bar from horizontal and the results will be identical. Assuming horizontal just reduces the calculation effort.

The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies. The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies
svetoff [14.1K]

1. The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies.

TRUE

SO above statement is TRUE because Newton's III law is valid for two different objects where one object will exert force and other body will exert reaction force on it.

2. Part F Given that two bodies interact via some force, the accelerations of these two bodies have the same magnitude but opposite directions. (Assume no other forces act on either body.)

FALSE

This is false because the force of action and Reaction is same on two different objects but for finding acceleration we need to divide the force by mass of two objects and since the mass of two bodies may be different so we can say that acceleration may be different.

3. Part G According to Newton's 3rd law, the force on the (smaller) moon due to the (larger) earth is

(i) greater in magnitude and antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(ii) greater in magnitude and parallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(iii) equal in magnitude but antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(iv) equal in magnitude and parallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(v) smaller in magnitude and antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(vi) smaller in magnitude and parallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

Since Earth and moon is an isolated system so here Newton's III law is valid due to which we can say that two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign

so correct answer will be

equal in magnitude but antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

An electric motor in a hair dryer is running at its normal constant operating speed and, thus, is drawing a relatively small cur
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The temperature of the coil will increase (over heating will occur)

Explanation:

This overheating generally occurs when the motor is overloaded, when a bearing seizes up, when something locks the motor shaft and prevents it from turning, or when the motor simply fails to start properly.

Back emf is zero when the motor is not turning, and it increases proportionally to the motor's angular velocity. As the motor turns faster and faster, the back emf grows, always opposing the driving emf, and reduces the voltage across the coil and the amount of current it draws.
