A horizontal 2.00\ m2.00 m long, 5.00\ kg5.00 kg uniform beam that lies along the east-west direction is acted on by two forces.

At the east end of the beam, a 200\ N200 N forces pushes downward. At the west end of the beam, a 200\ N200 N force pushed upward. What is the angular acceleration of the beam

Answer: 240\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Length of beam l=2\ m

mass of beam m=5\ kg

Two forces of equal intensity acted in the opposite direction, therefore, they create a torque of magnitude

\tau =F\times l=200\times 2=400\ N.m

Also, the beam starts rotating about its center

So, the moment of inertia of the beam is

I=\dfrac{ml^2}{12}=\dfrac{5\times 2^2}{12}\\\\I=\dfrac{5}{3}\ kg.m^2

Torque is the product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration

\Rightarrow \tau=I\alpha\\\\\Rightarrow 400=\dfrac{5}{3}\times \alpha\\\\\Rightarrow \alpha =240\ rad/s^2

What evidence can you cite for the particle nature of light? 1. Refraction phenomenon of light 2. The many colors of light 3. Di
GalinKa [24]
Evidence for the particle nature of light are not: 1. refraction, 2.  many colors of light, 3. diffraction. These are all phenomenon that support wave theory of light. Evidence for particle nature of light is photoelectric effect. Because it was discovered that you need discrete energies of light to eject electrons from a metal surface and not continuous as the wave theory of light suggests.

How do you find the weight of an object when given the mass and acceleration?
murzikaleks [220]

Weight of an object is given by the formula W = m x g , where

m : mass of the object

g : gravitational acceleration

It is <u>independent of the horizontal </u><u>acceleration</u>.  

<h3>What do we mean by weight of an object?</h3>

Weight is a gauge of how strongly gravity is<u> pulling something down.</u> It is dependent on the object's mass, or how much matter it consists of. It also depends on the <u>object's uniformly distributed</u> downward acceleration caused by gravity.

This equation can be used to express weight:

 W = m x g

<h3>What is the difference between weight and mass of an object?</h3>

In everyday speech, the phrases "mass" and "weight" are frequently used interchangeably; nevertheless, the two concepts don't have the same meaning. In contrast to weight, which is a <u>measurement of</u> how the <u>force</u> of gravity works upon a mass, mass is the <u>amount of substance</u> in a material.
