Answer:

the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

Explanation:

Given;

density of oil, \rho _o = 926 kg/m³

density of the wood, \rho _{wood} = 974 kg/m³

density of water, \rho _w = 1000 kg/m³

height of the wood, h = 3.69 cm

Based on the density of the wood, it will position across the two liquids.

let the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids = x

Let the wood be in equilibrium position;

F_{wood} - F_{oil} - F_{water} = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .gh - \rho _o .g(h-x) - \rho_w .gx = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h - \rho _o (h-x) - \rho_w .x = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h -\rho _o h + \rho _o x - \rho_w .x =0\\\\h (\rho _{wood}  -\rho _o ) = x( \rho_w - \rho _o)\\\\x =h[\frac{ \rho _{wood}  -\rho _o }{\rho_w - \rho _o} ]\\\\x = 3.69\ cm \times [\frac{974 - 926}{1000-926} ]\\\\x = 2.39 \ cm

Therefore, the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

How much work is done in holding a 10 newton sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the grocery store for 3 minutes.​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

W = F × s

F = 10 N,

t = 3min = 180sec

s = 0( no change in postion)

W = 10 ×0

W = 0

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle. It is initially not spinning
zubka84 [21]

The angular speed of the device is 1.03 rad/s.

<h3>What is the conservation of angular momentum?</h3>

A spinning system's ability to conserve angular momentum ensures that its spin will not change until it is subjected to an external torque; to put it another way, the rotation's speed will not change as long as the net torque is zero.

Using the conservation of angular momentum

L_{i}=L_{f}

Here,  = the system's angular momentum before the collision

L_{i} = 0 + mv

= (0.005)(450)(0.752)

= 1.692 kgm²/s

The moment of inertia of the system is given by

I = 2(M₁R₁² + M₂R₂²)+ mR₁²

= 2[(1.2)(0.8)² +(0.5)(0.3)²]+0.005(0.8)²

= 1.6292 kgm²

Here,  = Iω

So,

1.692 = 1.6292(ω)

ω = 1.03 rad/s

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION
sdas [7]

Answer:

0.34 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of sound, f = frequency, λ = Wave length

Make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f............... Equation 2

Given: v = 340 m/s, f = 500 Hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 340/500

λ = 0.68 m

But,  the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound is half wave length

Therefore,

λ/2 = 0.68/2

λ/2 = 0.34 m

Hence, the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound is 0.34 m
