Answer:

M₂ = M  then L₂ = L

M₂> M  then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Explanation:

This is a static equilibrium exercise, to solve it we must fix a reference system at the turning point, generally in the center of the rod. By convention counterclockwise turns are considered positive

          ∑ τ = 0

           

The mass of the rock is M and placed at a distance, L the mass of the rod M₁, is considered to be placed in its center of mass, which by uniform e is in its geometric center (x = 0) and the triangular mass M₂, with a distance L₂

The triangular shape of the second object determines that its mass can be considered concentrated in its geometric center (median) that tapers with a vertical line if the triangle is equilateral, the most used shape in measurements.

         M L + M₁ 0 - m₂ L₂ = 0

         M L - m₂ L₂ = 0

         L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

From this answer we have several possibilities

* if the two masses are equal then L₂ = L

* If the masses are different, with M₂> M then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Ethylene glycol, the primary ingredient in antifreeze, has the chemical formula C2H6O2. The radiator fluid used in most cars is
disa [49]

Answer:

-30 °C

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the molality (m) of the solution. If the solution is 50% C₂H₆O₂ by mass. It means that in 100 g of solution, the are 50 g of solute (C₂H₆O₂) and 50 g of solvent (water).

The molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is 62.07 g/mol. The moles of solute are:

50 g × (1 mol / 62.07 g) = 0.81 mol

The mass of the solvent is 50 g = 0.050 kg.

The molality is:

m = 0.81 mol / 0.050 kg = 16 m

The freezing-point depression (ΔT) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔT = Kf × m = (1.86 °C/m) × 16 m = 30 °C

where,

Kf: freezing-point constant

The normal freezing point for water is 0°C. The freezing point of the radiator fluid is:

0°C - 30°C = -30 °C

18 kilogram Mass Blokus addressed a level surface if the coefficient of static friction between the Block in the surface is 0.6
Tasya [4]

Question: 18 kilogram Mass Block rest on level surface if the coefficient of static friction between the Block and the surface is 0.6 what  horizontal force is required to just move the blcok ( take gravity as 10m/s2 )

Answer:

108 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

F' = mgμ................ Equation 1

Where F' = Frictional force = horizontal  force required to just move the block,  m = mass of the block, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of static friction.

From the question,

Given: m = 18 kg, μ = 0.6, g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F' = 18×0.6×10

F' = 108 N
