Burl the painter weighs 600 Newtons. He stands in the exact middle of his stage. There are two scale readings attached to the tw

o cords holding up the stage.
The image shows a painter standing in the middle of a scaffold that is hanging with two ropes on each end. Each rope has a spring scale.

What is the weight measured by each scale?

Answer:

T = 300 N

Explanation:

As we know that the painter is standing at the middle of the scaffold

So here the two ropes will exert same tension on the scaffold

So we will have

T_1 + T_2 = W

also we know

T_1 = T_2

so we will have

2T = W

T = \frac{W}{2}

so tension is half of the weight in both the strings

So it is

T = 300 N

Two charged objects, A and B, are exerting an electric force on each other. What will happen if the charge on A is increased?
ozzi

Answer: The forces acting on both of them will increase in magnitude.

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their two charges. If the charge on A is increased this product increases in size (it must have been non-zero to begin with, since there was a force between them at first). Thus, the force between them rises.

Paula spots a glider located at an angle of elevation of 42 degrees. the distance between the glider and paula is 3280 feet. to
fomenos
This situation represents triangle with one angle of 90 degrees. That angle is directly below glider. That means that we can you basic trigonometry functions.

sin42 = h/3280

Now we express h.
h = 3280* sin42 
h = 2195 feet

The answer is 2195 feet.

A very long wire carries a uniform linear charge density of 5 nC/m. What is the electric field strength 13 m from the center of
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

E=6.91 N/C

Explanation:

Given that

Linear Charge density ,λ = 5 nC/m

Distance ,R= 13 m

We know that formula for long wire to find electric field

E=\dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _0R}

E=Electric field

R=Distance

εo=8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/N.m²

λ=Linear Charge density

Now by putting the values

E=\dfrac{5\times 10^{-9}}{{2\times \pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 13}}

E=6.91 N/C

Therefore the electric filed at distance 13 m will be 6.91 N/C
