centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.
Answer:
Icy roads
Explanation:
There is so little friction you slide on it way more than other roads. :)
The teardrop could be an example as it was designed for that purpose, and most notably planes and such aero traveling vehicles
Answer:
The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.
Explanation:
According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:
TA = W * (a * cosθ)
The torque due to effort at C point is:
TC = E * (b * cosθ)
The net torque is equal to 0, we have:
Tnet = 0
W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0
From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W
