Refer to the diagram shown below.
The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.
The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N
The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N
The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.
For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m
Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.
Answer:
m1/m2 = 0.51
Explanation:
First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:
V = √F/u
This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.
the value of "u" is:
u = m/L
Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.
Now, for the rod 1:
V1 = √F/u1 (1)
rod 2:
V2 = √F/u2 (2)
Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:
1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)
Replacing (2) in (3):
1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)
Now, let's solve the equation 4:
[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1
1.96(F/u2) =F/u1
1.96F = F*u2/u1
1.96 = u2/u1 (5)
Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:
1.96 = m2/L / m1/L
1.96 = m2/m1 (6)
But we need m1/m2 so:
1.96m1 = m2
m1/m2 = 1/1.96
m1/m2 = 0.51
Answer:
s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:
v = v₀√[T/273 k]
where,
v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?
v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s
T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k
Therefore,
v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]
v = 337 m/s
Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled by sound:
s = vt
where,
s = distance traveled = ?
t = time taken = 90 s
Therefore,
s = (337 m/s)(90 s)
<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>
