A person carries a plank of wood 1.6 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holdi

ng it up at 43 cm from the end of the plank with force F2. If the plank has a mass of 13.7 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what is the force F1

Answer: 115.52\ N

Explanation:

Given

Length of plank is 1.6 m

Force F_1 is applied on the left side of plank

Force F_2 is applied 43 cm from the left end O.

Mass of the plank is m=13.7\ kg

for equilibrium

Net torque must be zero. Taking torque about left side of the plank

\Rightarrow mg\times 0.8-F_2\times 0.43=0\\\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{13.7\times 9.8\times 0.8}{0.43}\\\\\Rightarrow F_2=249.78\ N

Net vertical force must be zero on the plank

\Rightarrow F_1+W-F_2=0\\\Rightarrow F_1=F_2-W\\\Rightarrow F_1=249.78-13.7\times 9.8\\\Rightarrow F_1=115.52\ N

Explanation:

(a) The given figure is a convex lens.

(b) In this figure, the object is placed between F and optical center of a lens. Convex lens is a converging lens. It converges the beam of light falling on it after reflection. The image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object.

The formed image is enlarged and it is virtual and erect.

(i) Type : virtual

(ii) Orientation : upright

(iii) Size : Enlarged

If it takes 50.0 seconds to lift 10.0 Newtons of books to a height of 7.0
Ilya [14]
Work of the force = 10 N

Time required for the work = 50 sec

Height = 7 m

We are given with the value of work and time in the question.

Substitute the values in the formula of power and then you'll get the power required.

We know that,

w = Work

p = Power

t = Time

By the formula,

Given that,
Work (w) = 7 m = 70 Joules
Time (t) = 50 sec
Substituting their values,

p = 70/50

p = 1.4 watts

Therefore, the power required is 1.4 watts.

Hope it helps!

You grab a hot cookie sheet out of the oven this is an example of ______ energy transfer.
Maru [420]
I would say Conduction because you are touching the cookie sheet, even though it is hot (so heat) you are physically touching it so it would not be radiation
