A uniform log of length L is inclined 30° from the horizontal when supported by a frictionless rock located 0.6L from its left e

nd. The mass of the log is 200 kg. An engineer with a mass of 53.5 kg walks along the log from the left to the right until the log is balanced horizontally. How far from the left end of the log is the engineer when the log is horizontal?

Answer:

x = 0.974 L

Explanation:

given,

length of inclination of log = 30°

mass of log = 200 Kg

rock is located at = 0.6 L

L is the length of the log

mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg

let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.

For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium

 ∑ M = 0

mass of the log will be concentrated at the center  

distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L

now,

∑ M = 0

m_{log} g \times 0.1 L = m_{engineer} g \times (x - 0.6 L)

200 \times 0.1 L = 53.5 \times (x - 0.6 L)

0.374 L =x - 0.6 L

       x = 0.974 L

hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L

One of the harmonics of a string fixed at both ends has a frequency of 52.2 Hz and the next higher harmonic has a frequency of 6
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Solution :

Frequency may be defined as the number of observation or number of waves that is taken in per unit time. The unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz.

It is given that :

Successive harmonic frequencies, f = 52.2 Hz

and f' = 60.9 Hz

Therefore, fundamental frequency, F = f' - f

                                                           F = 60.9 - 52.2

                                                          F = 8.7 Hz

Therefore the string which is fixed at both the ends forms all the harmonics.

Daffy Duck is standing 6.8 m away from Minnie Duck. The attractive gravitational force between them is 5.4x10-8 N. If Daffy Duck
artcher [175]

Answer:

432.78 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance apart (r) = 6.8 m

Force of attraction (F) = 5.4×10¯⁸ N

Mass of Daffy Duck (M₁) = 86.5 kg

Mass of Minnie Duck (M₂) =?

NOTE: Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

The mass of Minnie Duck can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

5.4×10¯⁸ = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ / 6.8²

5.4×10¯⁸ = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ / 46.24

Cross multiply

6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ =5.4×10¯⁸ × 46.24

Divide both side by 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5

M₂ = 5.4×10¯⁸ × 46.24 / 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5

M₂ = 432.78 Kg

Therefore, the mass of Minnie Duck is 432.78 Kg
