G.P.E = mgh
Weight = mg = 200N

So G.P.E = 200 * 2 = 400 Joules

The moment of inertia is $24.8 kg m^2$

Explanation:

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}ML^2$

where

M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod

L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod

Substituting,

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}(24)(0.96)^2=1.84 kg m^2$

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

$I_b = mr^2$

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball

$r=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{0.96}{2}=0.48 m$ is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation

So we have

$I_b = (50)(0.48)^2=11.5 kg m^2$

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

$I=I_r + 2I_b = 1.84+ 2(11.5)=24.8 kg m^2$

The amplitude of a paricular wave is 4.0 m. The crest to trough distance

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The crest to trough distance = 8 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The amplitude of a particular wave is 4.0 m.

We need to find the crest to trough distance.

We know that,

Amplitude = The distance from the base line to the crest or the the distance from the baseline to the trough.

It means,

Distance from crest to trough = 2(Amplitude)

= 2(4)

= 8 m

Hence, the crest to trough distance is equal to 8 m.
