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.

On a Vernier Caliper, how do you know which mark to use on the very top scale?
madreJ [45]

<u>Answer</u>

To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use<em>. </em>


<u>Explanation</u>

A vernier caliper is an instrument that is used to measure the diameter of small circular objects such as diameter of a wires, thickness of an iron sheet.

The objects to be measured is place between the jaws of the calipers.

The vernier scale has two scales, the vernier scale and the main scale which is the very top scale.<em> To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use. </em>

Please answer ASAP, and please don't joke around and actually do answer my question. I will give you brainliest if you answer it
hammer [34]

Answer:

30 feet

Explanation:

First off, if they are throwing at 12.0 m/s and it takes 2.5 seconds. It will be the act of multiplication.

12 times 2.5 is 30, because 12 times 2 is 24 plus 12 divided by 2 which is 6 so 24 plus 6 is 30.

amid [387]

Answer:

Its  answer is 2.21 kg.

Explanation:

F =m × a

71 = m × 32

71 ÷ 32 = m

2.21 kg = m

Describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana’s enclosure.
sasho [114]

Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.
