Answer: Skinfold testing

Explanation:

Skinfold testing, is also referred to as calliper testing and it's used to know the body fat percentage. Skinfold testing is an inexpensive, portable, and common way to assess body fat in the fitness industry.

It is typically done with the use of caliper tapes, marker pens which makes it cheap. Skinfold testing isn't usually accurate which is as a result of human errors.

A cart loaded with bricks has a total mass of 22.2 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope. The rope is inclined at 27.5 ◦
musickatia [10]

Answer:

W = 1.432 KJ

Explanation:

given,

mass = 22.2 Kg

angle of the rope = 27.5°

distance on the ground = 24 m

kinetic friction= μ = 0.32

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Work done = ?

W = F d cosθ

a = 0 because it is moving with constant speed

equating all the forces acting  in x direction

F cosθ = F friction = μN  

equating all the forces acting  in y direction

F sinθ + N -mg =0

now,

N = mg - F sinθ

putting value of N

F cosθ = μ mg -μ F sinθ

F (cosθ + μsinθ ) = μ mg

F = \dfrac{\mu mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}

F = \dfrac{0.32 \times 22.2 \times 9.8}{cos 27.5^0+0.32 \times sin27.5^0}

F =67.28 N

now,

W=F d cosθ

W =67.28 x 24 x cos(27.5)

W =1432.27 J

W = 1.432 KJ

A horizontal spring with spring constant 750 N/m is attached to a wall. An athlete presses against the free end of the spring, c
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

37.5 N Hard

Explanation:

Hook's law: The force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit of the material is not exceeded.

Using the expression for hook's law,

F = ke.............. Equation 1

F = Force of the athlete, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension/compression of the spring.

Given: k = 750 N/m, e = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Substitute into equation 1

F = 750(0.05)

F = 37.5 N

Hence the athlete is pushing 37.5 N hard

What is the force required to produce a 1.4 Nm torque when applied to a door at a 60.0º angle and 0.40 m from the hinge?
Marysya12 [62]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The component of the applied force perpendicular to the door is
F * sin(60°) = 0.866F N

Because the moment arm is 0.40 m, the torque is
(0.866F N)*(0.4 m) = 0.3464F N-m

This torque is equal to 1.4 N-m, therefore
0.3464F = 1.4
F = 4.04 N

Answer: 4.04 N

Steam enters a well-insulated nozzle at 200 lbf/in.2 , 500F, with a velocity of 200 ft/s and exits at 60 lbf/in.2 with a velocit
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

386.2^{\circ}F

Explanation:

We are given that

P_1=200lbf/in^2

P_2=60lbf/in^2

v_1=200ft/s

v_2=1700ft/s

T_1=500^{\circ}F

Q=0

C_p=1BTU/lb^{\circ}F

We have to find the exit temperature.

By steady energy flow equation

h_1+v^2_1+Q=h_2+v^2_2

C_pT_1+\frac{P^2_1}{25037}+Q=C_pT_2+\frac{P^2_2}{25037}

1BTU/lb=25037ft^2/s^2

Substitute the values

1\times 500+\frac{(200)^2}{25037}+0=1\times T_2+\frac{(1700)^2}{25037}

500+1.598=T_2+115.4

T_2=500+1.598-115.4

T_2=386.2^{\circ}F
