The illustration in figure below shows a uniform metre rule weighing 30 N pivoted on a wedge placed under the 40 cm mark and car

rying a weight of 70 N hanging 2 from the 10 cm mark. The ruler is balanced horizontally by a weight W hanging from the 100 cm mark. Calculate the value of the weight W.

Answer:

W = 30 N

Explanation:

Applying the summation of torques about the wedge for equilibrium, taking the clockwise direction as negative. Since the ruler is balanced horizontally about the wedge. Therefore, the summation of all torques acting about the wedge must be equal to zero.

(70\ N)(40\ cm - 10\ cm)-(30\ N)(50\ cm-40\ cm)-(W)(100\ cm - 40\ cm) = 0\\W(60\ cm) = (70\ N)(30\ cm)-(30\ N)(10\ cm)\\\\W = \frac{1800\ N.cm}{60\ cm}

<u>W = 30 N</u>

Explain what happens to the pitch of a cell phone ringing when the amplitude of a sound wave increases.

As the amplitude of a sound wave increases the pitch of the ringing would be much higher (like if you were to inhale helium.. just with a phone)
