To study torque experimentally, you apply a force to a beam. One end of the beam is attached to a pivot that allows the beam to

rotate freely. The pivot is taken as the origin or your coordinate system. You apply a force of F = Fx i + Fy j + Fz k at a point r = rx i + ry j + rz k on the beam.Part (a) Enter a vector expression for the resulting torque, in terms of the unit vectors i, j, k and the components of F and r. Part (b) Calculate the magnitude of the torque, in newton meters, when the components of the position and force vectors have the values rx = 4.07 m, ry = 0.075 m, rz = 0.035 m, Fx = 2.8 N, Fy = 8.4 N, Fz = 1.4 N. Part (c) If the moment of inertia of the beam with respect to the pivot is I = 241 kg˙m², calculate the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the beam about the pivot, in radians per second squared.

Answer:

a)  τ = i ^ (y F_{z} - z F_{y}) + j ^ (z Fₓ - x F_{z}) + k ^ (x F_{y} - y Fₓ)

b)τ = (-0.189i ^ -5.6 j ^ + 33.978k ^) N m

c)α = (-7.8 10⁻⁴ i ^ - 2.3 10⁻² j ^ + 1.4 10⁻¹ k ^) rad / s²

Explanation:

a) Torque is given by

        τ = r x F

The easiest way to solve this equation is in the form of a determinant

        \tau =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&z\\F_{x}&F_{y} &F_{z}\end{array}\right]  

The result is

      τ = i ^ (y F_{z} - z F_{y}) + j ^ (z Fₓ - x F_{z}) + k ^ (x F_{y} - y Fₓ)

b) let's calculate

     τ = i ^ (0.075 1.4 -0.035 8.4) + j ^ (0.035 2.8 - 4.07 1.4) + k ^ (4.07 8.4 - 0.075 2.8)

     τ = i ^ (- 0.189) + j ^ (-5.6) + k ^ (33,978)

     τ = (-0.189i ^ -5.6 j ^ + 33.978k ^) N m

c) calculate the angular acceleration with

       τ = I α

       α = τ / I

Since the moment of inertia is a scalar, the direction does not change, only the modulus of each element changes.

           

     α = (-0.189i^  -5.6 j^  + 33.978k^) / 241

     α = (-7.8 10⁻⁴ i ^ - 2.3 10⁻² j ^ + 1.4 10⁻¹ k ^) rad / s²

Why is it safe to watch an eclipse of the Moon but not an eclipse of the Sun
gavmur [86]
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses in front of the Sun, blocking some or all of its rays. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon is directly behind the earth, blocking the moon from receiving light. The only light comes from the light on earth's reflected shadow.

You can look at a lunar eclipse because there is very little light or none at all. You can't look at a solar eclipse because you are looking directly at the sun unless it is complete. Before totality, only some of the Sun is blocked, causing your pupils dilate to let in more light. Since they do this, more of the Sun's rays can be let in to the eye, which effectively allows your eyes to burn. 

Some doctors and eye care specialists say that after someone complains of blindness after looking at a solar eclipse unaided, they can see what the Sun and moon looked like at the time that they looked at it, as it is burned onto their retinas.

Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.  

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.
