What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the oth
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)

MA = Li/Le

Given;

Li = 45cm

Lo = 1.8cm

MA = 45/1.8

MA = 25

Hence the mechanical advantage is 25

Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.

MA = Load/Effort

Given

Load = 1250N

MA = 25

Effort = ?

Substitute

25 = 1250/Effort

Effort = 1250/25

Effort = 50N

Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg

The pressure in Arabian sea is much bigger than near the surface?<br> please don't scam
sashaice [31]

Answer:

In general, the annual sea surface temperatures(SSTs) in the Bay of Bengal(BOB) are higher than the Arabian sea(AS). because, there are two main reasons for higher SST in the Bay of Bengal than the Arabian Sea. they are 1. stratification, 2.strong mixing

stratification is nothing but a phenomenon which stratifies(layers) the sea water when different density water(fresh water, rain water) add into the sea water. So the stratification in the bay of Bengal is comparatively high than the Arabian sea due to the high river discharge and precipitation in the BOB than the AS. the mixing process over the Arabian sea is higher than the Bay of Bengal due to the prevailing of strong winds over the AS (because of the presence of the mountains of east Africa) than Bay of Bengal (because of the winds over the BOB are sluggish in nature then the AS). But generally winds over the sea mixes easily the normal sea water than stratified/stabilized sea water column. That's why less mixing will takes place over the surface of BOB than the AS. So due to the presence of less mixing over the surface of the Bay of Bengal than the Arabian sea, the SST values over the Arabian sea are always lower than the Bay of Bengal. that's why the Arabian sea is colder than the Bay of Bengal.
