The person in the middle weighs 500 n, and the tension on the rope is 400 n. what is the weight of the scaffolding?

1 answer:

7 0

Typically a scaffolding has two ropes to support it. One on the left most side while the other one is on the right most side. Based on equilibrium rule, the summation of forces must be 0. The downward force is the weight of person and scaffolding, while the upward force are the tensions on the two ropes, hence:

Weight person + Weight scaffolding = 2 * Tension

500 N + Weight scaffolding = 2 * 400 N

Weight scaffolding = 300 N

Ultraviolet light causes production of vitamin d3 in the cells of the __________.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Epidermis

Explanation:

The epidermis is an important layer forming the skin that is mainly responsible for providing protection from the incoming harmful solar radiations, that are comprised of ultraviolet particles. These UV rays can cause various diseases like skin cancer.

When the solar radiations containing UV radiations (mostly the UV-B type radiation having a wavelength 290-315 nanometer) strikes the cells of human beings, then the protein that is stored within the skin named '7- dehydrocholesterolit (DHC)' is transformed into the vitamin d3 inside the cells.
