When the system is in equilibrium, the sum of the moment about a point is

zero.

Force \ shown  \ by \  the  \ scale \  under \  the \  right  \ pillar \ is \ F = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

Reasons:

Length of the beam = l

Mass of the beam = m_B

Location \ of \  the \  two \  pillars = \dfrac{l}{3}  \  from  \  either  \  end

Mass of the duck = m_D

Required:

Force shown by the scale under the right pillar.

Solution:

The location of the duck = On the left end of the beam

When the system is in equilibrium, we have; ∑M = 0

Taking moment about the left pillar, we get;

Clockwise moment = m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3} + F \times \dfrac{l}{3}

Anticlockwise moment = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6}

At equilibrium, clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Therefore;

m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3} + F \times \dfrac{l}{3} = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6}

F \times \dfrac{l}{3} = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6} - m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3}

F = \dfrac{m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6} - m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3}}{\dfrac{l}{3} }  = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

Force \ shown  \ by \  the  \ scale \  under \  the \  right  \ pillar, \  F = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

A 1-lb block and a 100-lb block are placed side by side at the top of a frictionless hill. Each is given a very light tap to beg
qwelly [4]

Answer:

(c). The two blocks end in a tie

Explanation:

the reason being the absence of any resistance offered to both of the blocks.

if the slope of the hill is for instance 60 deg.

then the acceleration in absence of any resistance is a= 9.81sin(60)

since the acceleration is same then both of the blocks will reach at the same instant

As more and more resistors are added in parallel to a circuit, the equivalent resistance of the circuit ____________ (increases,
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Decreases, Increases

Explanation:

Resistance is parallel can be calculated using

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

Then, as more resistor is added in parallel the equivalent resistance is reduced.  

Let use a simple sample

Let all the resistor have equal resistances

Let say R = R1 = R2 = R3 =...Rn

Then, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +.... 1/Rn

Req = R/n

Check attachment on how I got that.

This implies that, the equivalent resistance will always be less than the original resistance, since n>1

So, as n increases (I.e. as the number of resistance increases), the equivalent resistance reduces.

B. Now, to know if the current reduces or increases

Using Ohms law

V = iR

Then, I = V/R

So, let assume the voltage is constant, then, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as we know that the resistance is reducing, then the current will be increasing.

So current increase as we add more resistor in parallel to a circuit

You are designing a rotating metal flywheel that will be used to store energy. The flywheel is to be a uniform disk with radius
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

t = 0.0735 m

Explanation:

Angular acceleration of the flywheel is given as

\alpha = 3 rad/s^2

now after t = 8 s the speed of the flywheel is given as

\omega = \alpha t

\omega = 3 \times 8

\omega = 24 rad/s

now rotational kinetic energy of the wheel is given as

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

K = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}mR^2)(24^2)

800 = \frac{1}{4}m(0.23)^2(24^2)

m = 105 kg

now we have

m = \rho (\pi R^2) t

105 = 8600(\pi \times 0.23^2) t

t = 0.0735 m
