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>

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

11.25m

Explanation:

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}  \\  = 0 \times 1.5 +  \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times   {1.5}^{2}  \\  = 5 \times 2.25 \\  = 11.25

An atomic nucleus has a charge of +40e. an electron is 10-9 m from the nucleus. what is the force on the electron?
sergiy2304 [10]
The electron charge is equal to -e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C. The atomic nucleus of the problem has a charge of +40 e=40\cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)=6.4\cdot 10^{-18}C. The distance between the nucleus and the electron is r=10^{-9}m, so we can calculate the electrostatic (Coulomb) force between the two:
F=k_e  \frac{(-e)(+40e) }{r^2} =8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}  \frac{(-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)(6.4\cdot 10^{-18}C)}{(10^{-9}m)^2} =
=-9.2 \cdot 10^{-9} N
which is attractive, since the two charges have opposite sign.
