When you use a wrench to tighten or loosen a nut on a bolt, you are
applying torque. It is measured in units of force times distance.
A force of F newtons pulling on a handle of L meters in length would
supply a torque of F L newton-meters.
More technically, torque is the vector cross product of force times
perpendicular distance from the object, F x r = F r sin @
Answer:
0.3858 Nm
Explanation:
The torque of the couple is the dot product of the force vector and the couple vector from 1 end of the ruler to the center. This equals to the product of their magnitude times the cosine() of the angle made by their direction:
The behavior of an ideal gas at constant temperature obeys Boyle's Law of
p*V = constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume.
Given:
State 1:
p₁ = 10⁵ N/m² (Pa)
V₁ = 2 m³
State 2:
V₂ = 1 m³
Therefore the pressure at state 2 is given by
p₂V₂ = p₁V₁
or
p₂ = (V₁/V₂) p₁
= 2 x 10⁵ Pa
Answer: 2 x 10⁵ N/m² or 2 atm.
Answer:
63.9 m/s
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Mass of small car, m = 1200 kg
Mass of SUV, M = 4000 kg
Speed of SUV, V = 35 m/s
Their kinetic energy of the small car is equal to the kinetic energy of the SUV, hence:
0.5 * m * v² = 0.5 * M * V²
=> 0.5 * 1200 * v² = 0.5 * 4000 * 35²
600 * v² = 2450000
v² = 2450000/600
v² = 4083.3
=> v = 63.9 m/s
The speed of the small car is 63.9 m/s.
