What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth

er side? What minimum force must you exert to apply a force of 1250 N to the nail?

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

A sample of metallic frewium weighs 185N on a spring scale in air. When immersed in pure water, the frewium pulls on the scale w
balu736 [363]

Wow !  This one could have some twists and turns in it.
Fasten your seat belt.  It's going to be a boompy ride.

-- The buoyant force is precisely the missing <em>30N</em> .

--  In order to calculate the density of the frewium sample, we need to know
its mass and its volume.  Then, density = mass/volume .

-- From the weight of the sample in air, we can closely calculate its mass.

   Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
   185N = (mass) x (9.81 m/s²)
   Mass = (185N) / (9.81 m/s²) = <u>18.858 kilograms of frewium</u> 

-- For its volume, we need to calculate the volume of the displaced water.

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced water, and the
density of water is about 1 gram per cm³.  So the volume of the
displaced water (in cm³) is the same as the number of grams in it.

The weight of the displaced water is 30N, and weight = (mass) (gravity).

           30N = (mass of the displaced water) x (9.81 m/s²)

           Mass = (30N) / (9.81 m/s²) = 3.058 kilograms

           Volume of displaced water = <u>3,058 cm³</u>

Finally, density of the frewium sample = (mass)/(volume)

      Density = (18,858 grams) / (3,058 cm³) = <em>6.167 gm/cm³</em> (rounded)

================================================

I'm thinking that this must  be the hard way to do it,
because I noticed that

       (weight in air) / (buoyant force) =  185N / 30N = <u>6.1666...</u>

So apparently . . .

        (density of a sample) / (density of water) =

                                  (weight of the sample in air) / (buoyant force in water) .

I never knew that, but it's a good factoid to keep in my tool-box.

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. Question 1 options: True False
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A nanometer is a unit of mass, whereas a nanosecond is a unit of time. To convert 1.3 hours to minute, you would multiply by 1 h / 60 min. Kilometer is a unit of length, whereas kilogram is a unit of mass. True.

Stars within the halo move in random orbits that extend above and below the disk of the galaxy, while stars in the disk move in
Blizzard [7]
<span>Answer: Spherical Distribution Feedback: Correct The stars in the halo component have highly-inclined random orbits that orbit the center of our Galaxy. The stars within the halo would therefore make up a spherical distribution of stars surrounding the center of the Galaxy. In comparison, the disk stars move in elliptical orbits, which are nearly circular and are confined to the disk of the Galaxy. Disk stars therefore have very small inclinations and do not move above or below the plane of the Galactic disk.</span>

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)
salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm

Object distance is 9 cm

v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)
