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.

what was the acceleration of the cart with Low fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with medium fan spe
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.

For low fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 7.4 s

Average velocity,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{7.4}\\\\v=67.56\ cm/s

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{67.56}{7.4}\\\\a=9.12\ cm/s^2

For medium fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 6.4 s

Average velocity,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{6.4}\\\\v=78.12\ cm/s

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{78.12}{6.4}\\\\a=12.2\ cm/s^2

For high fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 5.6 s

Average velocity,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{5.6}\\\\v=89.28\ cm/s

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{89.28}{5.6}\\\\a=15.94\ cm/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

In 1-2 sentences describe how your nose cleans the air you inhale.
svp [43]

Answer: Your nose inhales O2 and goes through these little nose hairs to keep stuff that doesn't belong in your airway, it goes through your nose into your lungs taking in O2 for your blood. The other substances that you have inhaled get absorbed elsewhere and it is converted into CO2 which is what you exhale.

In general, how did the water pressure in the tank change when mass was added to the fluid?
MissTica

Answer:

As the height increases the pressure must increase.

Explanation:

When we add masses to the fluid, the amount of fluid in the tank increases, therefore its height increases and the pressure is described by the expression

           P = ρ g h

where rho is constant for a given fluid and h is the height measured from the surface of the fluid.

As the height increases the pressure must increase.

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be v_{AT}=v_A-v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where v_A is the speed of the automobile and v_T the speed of the train.

So we have v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h.

So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s

And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km

If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using v_{AT}=v_A+v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:

v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km
