A rock of mass 170 kg needs to be lifted off the ground. One end of a metal bar is slipped under the rock, and a fulcrum is set

up under the bar at a point that is 0.65 m from the rock. A worker pushes down (perpendicular) on the other end of the bar, which is 1.9 m away from the fulcrum. What force is required to move the rock?

Answer:

866.32 N

Explanation:

The diagram explains better.

Taking the total moment of forces, the sum of the clockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum must be equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum:

F * (1.9 - 0.65) = 170 * 9.8 * 0.65

F * 1.25 = 1082.9

F = 1082.9/1.25

F = 866.32 N

A force of 866.32 N is needed to move the rock.

Light traveling through air encounter a second medium which slows the light to 2.7 x 10^8. What is the index of the medium?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

1.11

Explanation:

The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula

V= c/ n ............eqn(1)

Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s

n= index of the medium

c= speed of light= 3 x 10^8 m/s

Substitute for the values in eqn(1)

2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n

Making " n" subject of the formula, we have

n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)

n= 1.11

Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11

A body in simple harmonic motion has a displacement x that varies in time t according to the equation x = 5cos(π t + π/3) , wher
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1/2 Hz

Explanation:

A simple harmonic motion has an equation in the form of

x(t) = Acos(\omega t - \phi)

where A is the amplitude, \omega = 2\pi f is the angular frequency and \phi is the initial phase.

Since our body has an equation of  x = 5cos(π t + π/3) we can equate \omega = \pi and solve for frequency f

2\pi f = \pi

f = 1/2 Hz
