Define couple and give 2 examples

2 answers:

6 0

A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action. ... For example, the forces that two hands apply to turn a steering wheel are often (or should be) a couple. Each hand grips the wheel at points on opposite sides of the shaft.

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.

A 4.3 kg steel ball and 6.5 m cord of negligible mass make up a simple pendulum that can pivot without friction about the point

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer

given,

mass of steel ball, M = 4.3 kg

length of the chord, L = 6.5 m

mass of the block, m = 4.3 Kg

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.9

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

here the potential energy of the bob is converted into kinetic energy

$m g L = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2$

$v= \sqrt{2gL}$

$v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 6.5}$

v = 11.29 m/s

As the collision is elastic the velocity of the block is same as that of bob.

now,

work done by the friction force = kinetic energy of the block

$f . d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2$

$\mu m g. d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2$

$d=\dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}$

$d=\dfrac{11.29^2}{2\times 0.9 \times 9.8}$

d = 7.23 m

the distance traveled by the block will be equal to 7.23 m.

How does a mirror affect the path of light?

yulyashka [42]

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.
