Answer:
x = 45 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
The length of a rod, L = 50 cm
Mass, m₁ = 0.2 kg
It is at 40cm from the left end of the rod.
We need to find the distance from the left end of the rod should a 0.6kg mass be hung to balance the rod.
The centre of mass of the rod is at 25 cm.
Taking moments of both masses such that,

The distance from the left end is 40+5 = 45 cm.
Hence, at a distance of 45 cm from the left end it will balance the rod.
Answer:
3.) 463 J/g
Explanation:
Heat given by the fuel is used to increase the temperature of the water
so it is given as

here we will have
m = 250 g

now we also know that

so we have


so 3.5 g fuel gives above energy
so per gram of fuel will have total energy given as


m = mass of the truck = 23 00 kg
v = speed of the truck down the highway = 32 m/s
K = kinetic energy of the truck = ?
kinetic energy of the truck down the highway is given as
K = (0.5) m v²
inserting the values
K = (0.5) (2300) (32)²
K = (0.5) (2300) (1024)
K = (1150) (1024)
K = 1177600 J
hence the kinetic energy of the truck comes out to be 1177600 J
NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question
Answer:
Power = 2702.56 W
Explanation:
Let the power consumed be P
Energy expended = E = mgh
height, h = 5 m
E = 80 * 9.8 * 5
E = 3920 J

To calculate the time, t
From F = ma
F = 900 N
900 = 80 a
a = 900/80
a = 11.25 m/s²
From the equation of motion, 
The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

Power, P = E/t
P = 3920/0.0.943
P = 4157.79 W
But Efficiency, E = 0.65
P = 0.65 * 4157.79
Power = 2702.56 W
