The variable would be “X”
Answer:
With the addition of the pipe we have a greater torque.
Explanation:
We need to complete the description of the problem, searchin in internet we have:
"Sometimes, even with a wrench, one cannot loosen a nut that is frozen tightly to a bolt. It is often possible to loosen the nut by slipping one end of a long pipe over the wrench handle and pushing at the other end of the pipe. With the aid of the pipe, does the applied force produce a smaller torque, a greater torque, or the same torque on the nut?"
With the addition of the pipe we have a greater torque, as it increases the distance or radius of torque.
We know that torque is defined, as the product of force by distance, in this way we have:
T = F * d
where:
T = torque [N*m]
F = force [N]
d = distance [m]
We can see in the above equation, that increasing the distance increases torque proportionally.
ANSWER:
The answer will be OT
Answer:
Change in mechanical energy = work done by friction
so it is equal to

Explanation:
As we know that change in mechanical energy must be equal to the work done by non conservative forces only
So here when block moves down the inclined plane then the work done by friction force is given as

here we have

here we know that

so we have


Now the friction force on the block is given as



now work done by the friction is given as


Answer:
0.016 s
Explanation:
Initial velocity, u = 0
use the third equation of motion to find the acceleration of the rock.

Net displacement in the vertical direction would be zero. y = 0
Use second equation:

Thus, the rock will return to its initial release point in 0.016 s.
