Answer:

x = 0.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive

          ∑ τ = 0

          60 1.5 - 78 1.5 + 30 x = 0

where x is measured from the left side of the fulcrum

           90 - 117 + 30 x = 0

           x = 27/30

           x = 0.9 m       

In summary the center of mass is on the side of the lightest weight x = 0.9 m

The ball of a ballpoint pen is 0.5 mm in diameter and has an ASTM grain size of 12. How many grainsare there in the ball
Alina [70]

Answer:

the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter = 0.5 mm

so radius r = 0.25 mm

first we determine the volume of the ball using the following equation;

V = 4/3×πr³

we substitute

V = 4/3×π(0.25)³

V =  0.06544 mm³

Now form table 1.1 "Grain sizes" a metal with grain size number of 12 has about 4,200,000 grains/mm³

so;

Number of grains N = 0.06544 × 4,200,000

N = 274,848 grains

Therefore, the number of grains in the ball is 274,848

Which equation is mostly likely used to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs time graph
Keith_Richards [23]

Most likely, the equation is

<em>Acceleration over a period of time = </em>

<em>(change in speed during the period of time)</em>

<em>divided by</em>

<em>(length of the period of time) .</em>

for any piece of the graph.
