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>

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!
