Answer:

The wheel and axle is another simple machine. It uses a wheel with a rod attached in the middle as an axle to help it to lift or move loads. In some cases this machine works like a lever to multiply force (like with a doorknob or a fishing reel).

Masses A and B rest on very light pistons that enclose a fluid.There is no friction between the pistons and the cylinders they f

RSB [31]

Answer:

D)Not enough information

Explanation:

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure exerted on the two pistons is equal:

$p_A = p_B$

Pressure is given by the ratio between force F and area A, so we can write

$\frac{F_A}{A_A}=\frac{F_B}{A_B}$

The force exerted on each piston is just equal to the weight of the corresponding mass: $F=W=mg$ , where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. So the equation becomes

$\frac{m_A g}{A_A}=\frac{m_B g}{A_B}$

Now we can rewrite the mass as the product of volume, V, times density, d:

$\frac{V_A d_A g}{A_A}=\frac{V_B d_B g}{A_B}$

We also know that $A_B = 2.0 m^2\\A_A = 1.0 m^2$

So we can further re-arrange the equation (and simplify g as well):

$\frac{V_A d_A}{1}=\frac{V_B d_B}{2}$

$\frac{d_A}{d_B}=\frac{V_B}{2V_A}$

We are also told that block B has bigger volume than block A: $V_B > V_A$ . However, this information is not enough to allow us to say if the fraction on the right is greater than 1 or smaller than 1: therefore, we cannot conclude anything about the densities of the two objects.

Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 2.45 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of

maxonik [38]

Answer:

W=1055N

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first do a drawing of the situation so we can visualize theh problem better. (See attached picture)

In this problem, we will ignore the board's weight. As we can see in the free body diagram of the board, there are only three forces acting on the system and we can say the system is in vertical equilibrium, so from this we can say that:

$\sum F=0$
