Answer:
the reading on the scale is 158.5 mm.
Explanation:
Given;
upper fixed point of the temperature scale, x₁ = 260 mm
lower fixed point of the temperature scale, x₂ = 50 mm
upper temperature scale, T₁ = 212 °F
lower temperature scale, T₂ = 32 °F
thermometer reading, t = 125 °F, let the reading on the scale = x
Interpolate as follows to determine the value of "x"
Therefore, the reading on the scale is 158.5 mm.
Answer:
m = 2.01[kg]
Explanation:
This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the force applied on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
where:
F = force = 12.5 [N]
m = mass [kg]
a = acceleration = 6.2 [m/s²]
Explanation:
When an elevator moves upward with consonant acceleration a, the overall acceleration on the body is given by
a' = a + g
So acceleration of pendulum is a + g.
We have equation for period of simple pendulum
In normal case a' = g here a' is more.
From the equation we can see that period of simple pendulum is inversely proportional to square root of acceleration.
Since acceleration increases period decreases.
Option A is the correct answer.
