Bob and Sally sit on a 4 m long see-saw that has its fulcrum smack in the center of the board. If 50 kg Sally is sitting at one

end of the plank, where should 70 kg Bob sit on the other side relative to the fulcrum so the net Torque is zero?

Answer:

1.43m

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 50kg

m2=70kg

We are told that Sally m1= 50 sat at one end which is 2m from the center

Hence, the summation of clockwise moment = summation of anticlockwise moment

See the attached image for your reference

50*2= 70*x

100= 70x

x= 100/70

x=1.43m

Hence the mass m2 will be at the 1.43m mark for the net torque to be zero

Answer:

a) How many parsecs are there in one astronomical unit?

$4.85x10^{-6}pc$

(b) How many meters are in a parsec?

$3.081x10^{16}m$

(c) How many meters in a light-year?

$9.46x10^{15}m$

(d) How many astronomical units in a light-year?

$63325AU$

(e) How many light-years in a parsec?

3.26ly

Explanation:

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance using triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth, knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun ( $1.496x10^{11} m$ ) is defined as 1 astronomical unit:

$\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

Where d is the distance to the star.

Since p is small it can be represent as:

$p(rad) = \frac{1AU}{d}$ (1)

Where p(rad) is the value of in radians

However, it is better to express small angles in arcseconds

$p('') = p(rad)\frac{180^\circ}{\pi rad}.\frac{60'}{1^\circ}.\frac{60''}{1'}$

$p('') = 2.06x10^5 p(rad)$

$p(rad) = \frac{p('')}{2.06x10^5}$ (2)

Then, equation 2 can be replace in equation 1:

$\frac{p('')}{2.06x10^5} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

$\frac{d}{1AU} = \frac{2.06x10^5}{p('')}$ (3)

From equation 3 it can be see that $1pc = 2.06x10^5 AU$

<em>a) How many parsecs are there in one astronomical unit? </em>

$1AU . \frac{1pc}{2.06x10^5AU}$ ⇒ $4.85x10^{-6}pc$

<em>(b) How many meters are in a parsec? </em>

$2.06x10^{5}AU . \frac{1.496x10^{11}m}{1AU}$ ⇒ $3.081x10^{16}m$

<em>(c) How many meters in a light-year? </em>

To determine the number of meters in a light-year it is necessary to use the next equation:

$x = c.t$

Where c is the speed of light ( $c = 3x10^{8}m/s$ ) and x is the distance that light travels in 1 year.

In 1 year they are 31536000 seconds

$x = (3x10^{8}m/s)(31536000s)$

$x = 9.46x10^{15}m$

<em>(d) How many astronomical units in a light-year?</em>

$9.46x10^{15}m . \frac{1AU}{1.496x10^{11}m}$ ⇒ $63325AU$

<em>(e) How many light-years in a parsec?</em>

$2.06x10^{5}AU . \frac{1ly}{63235AU}$ ⇒ $3.26ly$

The value of 1.0004 to the power 1 by 2 using Binomial approximation is

IgorLugansk [536]

Given:

The given value is $(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

To find:

The value of the given expression by using the Binomial approximation.

Explanation:

We have,

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

It can be written as:

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(1+0.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0004$ $[\because (1+x)^n=1+nx]$

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+0.0002$

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1.0002$

Therefore, the approximate value of the given expression is 1.0002.
