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 is the wavelength of a radio photon from an "am" radio station that broadcasts at 1120 kilohertz?
Alex73 [517]

The wavelength of the radio photon  is 268 m.

Electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of 3×10⁸m/s in vacuum. The speed of a wave <em>c i</em>s related to its frequency<em> f</em> and wavelengthλ as follows:

c=f\lambda

Thus the wavelength is given by,

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}

Substitute 3×10⁸m/s for <em>c</em> and 1120×10³Hz for <em>f</em>.

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}\\ =\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1120*10^3Hz} \\ =267.8 m\\ =268 m

Thus the wavelength of the radio photon from an AM station is 268 m
