A 416 kg merry-go-round in the shape of a horizontal disk with a radius of 1.7 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the r

im of the disk and pulling on the rope. How large a torque would have to be exerted to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 3.7 rad/s in 2.9 s

Answer:

The torque exerted on the merry-go-round is 766.95 Nm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the merry-go-round, m = 416 kg

radius of the disk, r = 1.7 m

angular speed of the merry-go-round, ω = 3.7 rad/s

time of motion, t = 2.9 s

The torque exerted on the merry-go-round is calculated as;

\tau = Fr= I\alpha\\\\\tau = (\frac{1}{2}  m r^2)(\frac{\omega }{t} )\\\\\tau = (\frac{1}{2} \times 416 \times 1.7^2)( \frac{3.7}{2.9} )\\\\\tau = 766.95 \ Nm

Therefore, the torque exerted on the merry-go-round is 766.95 Nm

A copper rod of length 27.5 m has its temperature increases by 35.9 degrees celsius. how much does its length increase?(unit=m)
gavmur [86]
<h2>The increase in length = 1.87 x 10⁻²</h2>

Explanation:

When copper rod is heated , its length increases

The increase in length can be found by the relation

L = L₀ ( 1 + α ΔT )

here L is the increased length and L₀ is the original length

α  is the coefficient of linear expansion and ΔT is the increase in temperature .

The increase in length = L - L₀ = L₀ x α ΔT

Substituting all these value

Increase in length = 27.5 x 1.7 x 10⁻⁵ x 35.9

= 1.87 x 10⁻² m

A manufacturer selected a metal to use in producing a lightweight button for clothing. A metal that has a density of 2.71 g/cm3
Natali5045456 [20]

Just find the density of every metal and select the one with a density of 2.71 g/cm³ . This is:

Metal 1

ρ = m/V

ρ = 22.1 g / 3 cm³

ρ = 7.367 g / cm³

Metal 2

ρ = m/V

ρ = 42 g / 4 cm³

ρ = 10.5 g / cm³

Metal 3

ρ = m/V

ρ = 9.32 g / 5 cm³

ρ = 1.864 g / cm³

Metal 4

ρ = m/V

ρ = 8.13 g / 3 cm³

ρ = 2.71 g / cm³

<h2>R / Metal 4 was selected.</h2>
