A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a

$F =326.7 \ N$

b

$M = 6$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rock is $m_r = 200 \ kg$

The length of the small object from the rock is $d = 2 \ m$

The length of the small object from the branch $l = 12 \ m$

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

$W = m_r * g$

substituting values

$W = 200 * 9.8$

$W = 1960 \ N$

So at equilibrium the sum of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

$\sum M_f = F * cos \theta * l - W cos\theta * d = 0$

Here $\theta$ is very small so $cos\theta * l = l$

and $cos\theta * d = d$

Hence

$F * l - W * d = 0$

=> $F = \frac{W * d}{l}$

substituting values

$F = \frac{1960 * 2}{12}$

$F =326.7 \ N$

The mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

$M = \frac{W}{F}$

substituting values

$M = \frac{1960}{326.7}$

$M = 6$

Which of the following would decrease the resistance in a wire?

padilas [110]

<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded. The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.
