Answer:

(a) 441 W (b) 0.59 hP

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a woman, m = 60 kg

Height of a staircase, h = 15 m

Time, t = 20 s

(a) We need to find the power she expend. Work done per unit time is called power. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{60\times 9.8\times 15}{20}\\\\P=441\ W

( b) Since, 1 hP = 745.7 W

P = 0.59 hP

A person carries a plank of wood 1.6 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holdi
Elis [28]

Answer: 115.52\ N

Explanation:

Given

Length of plank is 1.6 m

Force F_1 is applied on the left side of plank

Force F_2 is applied 43 cm from the left end O.

Mass of the plank is m=13.7\ kg

for equilibrium

Net torque must be zero. Taking torque about left side of the plank

\Rightarrow mg\times 0.8-F_2\times 0.43=0\\\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{13.7\times 9.8\times 0.8}{0.43}\\\\\Rightarrow F_2=249.78\ N

Net vertical force must be zero on the plank

\Rightarrow F_1+W-F_2=0\\\Rightarrow F_1=F_2-W\\\Rightarrow F_1=249.78-13.7\times 9.8\\\Rightarrow F_1=115.52\ N

bearhunter [10]
Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. It is a property that can be used to describe a substance.<span> </span><span>It has standard units of kg/m^3 or g/mL. So, the best answer is option C.</span>

The near point of an eye is 48.5 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects at the distan
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The focal length of the lens should be -51.5 cm (a concave lens).

Explanation:

The purpose of the lens is to make objects at 48.5 cm appear at the healthy near point. The healthy near point is 25.0 cm.

We use the lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{u} + \dfrac{1}{v}

where <em>f</em> = focal length, <em>u</em> = object distance and <em>v</em> = image distance.

In this case, <em>u</em> = 48.5 cm and <em>v</em> = -25.0 cm.

<em>v</em> is negative because the image is virtual an not real. (Here, we are using the real-is-positive sign convention)

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{48.5} + \dfrac{1}{-25.0} = -\dfrac{23.5}{1212.5}

f = -51.5

The negative sign indicates the lens is concave.
