Sterling Archer, despite failing repeatedly at pole-vaulting, is determined to master the skill. He is holding a vaulting pole p

arallel to the ground. The pole is 5 m long. Archer grips the pole with his right hand 10 cm from the top end of the pole and with his left hand 1 m from the top end of the pole. Although the pole is quite light (its mass is only 2.5 kg), the forces that Archer must exert on the pole to maintain it in this position are quite large. How large are they?

Answer:

left hand: 133 N upward

right hand: 83N downward

Explanation:

10 cm = 0.1m

Let g = 10m/s2. The pole gravity force would be F_p = 5*10 = 50 N. Suppose the pole mass distribution is uniform, this means the center of mass is at its geometric center, aka 5/2 = 2.5m from the top end.

In order for the system to stay balanced, the total net force and net moment must be 0

F_L + F_R = F_p = 50 N where F_L, F_R are the forces exerted by his left and right hand, respectively.

We will pick his right hand (0.1 m from the top end) as moment pivot point. The total moment generated by pole gravity and his left hand must be 0

Distance (or moment arm length) from pole center to his right hand is R_p = 2.5 – 0.1 = 2.4 m

Moment generated by gravity around his right hand is: M_p = F_pR_p = 50*2.4 = 120 Nm counter-clockwise

Distance (or moment arm length) from left hand to his right hand is R_L = 1 – 0.1 = 0.9 m

Moment generated by force from his left hand around his right hand is: M_L = F_LR_L = 1.9F_L Nm clockwise

Since the total moment must be 0, the clockwised-direction moment = counterclockwised-direction moment:

0.9F_L = 120

F_L = 120 / 0.9 = 133 N upward

Therefore, the force exerted by his right hand must be 50 – 133 = -83 N or 83N downward

A charge of +3.0 mC is distributed uniformly along the circumference of a circle with a radius of 20 cm. How much external energ
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Work done = 4584.9 J

Explanation:

given: q1=3.0 mC = 3.0 × 10⁻³ C, r = 20 cm = 0.20 m, q1 = 34μC = 34 × 10⁻⁶ C

Solution:

Formula for the potential difference at the center of the circle

P.E = K × q1 q2 /r   (Coulomb's constant k= 8.99 × 10⁹ N·m² / C²)

P.E = 8.99 × 10⁹ N·m² / C² × 3.0 × 10⁻³ C × 34 × 10⁻⁶ C /  0.20 m

P.E =  4584.9 J = Work done

Antoinette was diagnosed with hypertension, a noncommunicable disease in which her blood pressure is higher than normal. What is
Oxana [17]

Answer:

She was obese and had a diet high in salt intake.

Explanation:

higher blood pressure is condition known as hypertension which is the main cause of many heart problems which can be life threatening. In obese people. high level of fats inside the blood vessels which can cause blockage inside and can lead to heart problems.

high concentration of salts intake also disturbs the salts concentration in the blood vessels. The disturbance in salt concentration is the function of the kidney to remove it. the increase concentration also  cause increase in blood pressure which leads to hypertension.
