Answer:

The force the construction crew must apply to the lever is 266.67 N

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system. Hence, mechanical advantage (MA) is given by the formula

MA = \frac{F_{o} }{F_{i} }

Where MA is the mechanical advantage

F_{o} is the output force

and F_{i} is the input force

From the question, the mechanical advantage of the lever is 6

That is, MA = 6

and the lever applies a force of 1600 N to the rock

That is, Output force, F_{o} = 1600 N

To determine the force the construction crew must apply to the lever, that is the input force, F_{i}

From

MA = \frac{F_{o} }{F_{i} }

We can write that

F_{i}  = \frac{F_{o} }{MA}

Then,

F_{i} = \frac{1600N}{6}

F_{i} = 266.67 N

Hence, the force the construction crew must apply to the lever is 266.67 N.

A tin can collapses if all air inside it is taken out why
Veseljchak [2.6K]

That only happens when the tin can is IN air.

In the familiar, comfy part of Earth's atmosphere where we live, the normal pressure of air is around 14.6 pounds on every square inch of everything. That's a big part of the reason why we're built with bodies that generate that same amount of pressure on the INSIDE pressing OUT. That way, we always have the same pressure pushing in both directions, so we know that we won't get crushed or blow up like balloons.

But we have to be careful with our bodies or other things when they're in places where the atmospheric pressure on the outside is NOT normal.

-- When a deep-sea diver goes hundreds of feet down in the ocean, and the pressure of the water is much GREATER than normal air.

-- When an astronaut has to go outside ... where there's NO air ... and fix something on the International Space Station.

When the pressure on the outside becomes very unusual, we have to wear special suits to protect our bodies from the unusual conditions.

The tin can in the story is a lot like our bodies. As long as it has air inside and air outside, the pressure is the same in both directions, so there's no particular force trying to deform the can. But ...

-- If you seal the can with the air inside it, take the can into a vacuum chamber, and pump the air out of the vacuum chamber, then the can only has pressure inside. It'll expand, and eventually spring a little hole in the metal, and all the air inside will blow out.

-- If you take all the air OUT of the can (so the can is REALLY 'empty'), then the pressure on it is all from the outside. In that situation, the can simply collapses, because there's nothing inside to provide pressure in the outward direction.

One more little thing to think about:

When you want some toothpaste to come drizzling out of the tube onto your brush, what do you do ? Do you perhaps squeeze the tube, and increase the pressure on the outside ?

Answer:

F

Explanation:

The average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time.The average speed is the ratio of total distance and time.Therefore the average speed and average velocity are equal if the total displacement is equal to the total distance that is if the body travels along a straight line without changing the direction.

What wave is a wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels.?
galina1969 [7]
The answer to this question would be a transverse wave, because the vibration travels parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.
