A positively charged ebonite rod is brought close to a small ball. The rod does not touch the ball, which is made from a conduct

ing material. The ball is electrically neutral. Which one of the following statements is true?
a. The rod neither attracts nor repels the ball.
b. The rod repels the ball.
c. As the rod is brought closer to the ball, the force changes from an attractive force to a repulsive force.
d. The rod attracts the ball

Answer:

Explanation:

As the ebonite rod is positively charge and the rod is comes near to the ball. Due to the process of induction, the ball attains a negative charge and thus, the rod attracts the ball.

option (d) is true.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

If the scaled-up man now stands on one leg, what fraction of the tensile strength is the stress on the femur?.
Firdavs [7]

The new cross sectional area and tensile stress is mathematically given as

A=4.8*10^{-4}m^2

X=14:100

<h3>Cross sectional area and stress on the femur</h3>

Question Parameters:

To see why this must be so, recall, that the stress on the femur for a man standing on one leg is 1.4%

we scale this man up by a factor of 10 in all dimensions

that a 70 kg person has a femur with a cross-section area

a)

Generally the New cross sectional area  is mathematically given as

100A=100*4.8*10^{-4}

A=4.8*10^{-4}m^2

b)

From the initial statement we see that  the fraction of the tensile strength is the stress on the femur  and will be

X=\frac{14}{100}

X=14$

X=14:100

Complete Question

Larger animals have sturdier bones than smaller animals. A mouse's skeleton is only a few percent of its body weight, compared to 16% for an elephant. To see why this must be so, recall, that the stress on the femur for a man standing on one leg is 1.4% of the bone's tensile strength. Suppose we scale this man up by a factor of 10 in all dimensions, keeping the same body proportions. (Assume that a 70 kg person has a femur with a cross-section area (of the cortical bone) of 4.8 x 10-4m², a typical value.)

Part A

Both the inside and outside diameter of the femur, the region of cortical bone, will increase by a factor of 10. What will be the new cross-section area? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Part B

If the scaled-up man now stands on one leg, what fraction of the tensile strength is the stress on the femur?

What work is done by a system on its environment when an ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressure of 200 newtons/meter2 du
Crank

<u>Answer:</u>

Work done done by a system on its environment is W=40 Joules

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

Ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressure P=200 \frac{N}{m^{2}}

Change in Volume d v= -0.2 m^{3}

<u>To find:</u>  

Work done by a system during an Isobaric Process

<u>Solution:</u>  

In a Isobaric Process, constant pressure is maintained, P=200 \frac{N}{m^{2}}

According to the formula,

work done  \bold{W=P \times d v}

Substitute the values of pressure and change in volume in the above formula,

=200 \times -0.2

=40 \text { Joules }

<u>Result:</u>  

Work done done by a system W= -40 Joules
