Answer:

a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Weight of the firefighter = 756 N

Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg

Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²

a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.

therefore, we have

F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)

thus, we have

F = - 527.65 N

The force that must be exerted on the outside wheel to lift the anchor at constant speed is 6.925 x 10⁵ N.

<h3>Force exerted outside the wheel</h3>

The force exerted on the outside of the wheel can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below.

∑τ = 0

  • Let the distance traveled by the load = 1.5 m
  • Let the radius of the wheel or position of the force = 0.45 m

∑τ = R(mg) - r(F)

rF = R(mg)

0.45F = 1.5(21,200 x 9.8)

F = 6.925 x 10⁵ N.

Thus, the force that must be exerted on the outside wheel to lift the anchor at constant speed is 6.925 x 10⁵ N.

Let’s determine what lens is needed to correct the vision of a myopic eye. Assume that the far point of the myopic eye is 50 cmc
koban [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Person suffering from myopia is unable to see objects beyond 50 cm  because far point of his vision is 50 cm . He requires a concave lens

( diverging lens ) to correct his vision .

After using the lens ,

ray of light coming from far off place will appear to be coming from 50 cm after refraction through lens so it will be focused on retina .

object distance u = ∝

image distance v =  - 50 cm

focal length f = ?

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 /f

- 1 / 50 - 1 / ∝ = 1 / f

- 1 / 50  = 1 / f

f = - 50 cm

focal length is negative so len is concave.

He requires  concave lens of focal length 50 cm .

Briefly describe the history of the metric system as it applies to the meter and how the definition of a meter has changed over
Shalnov [3]

Answer and explanation;

In 1670 Gabriel Mouton, Vicar of St. Paul’s Church and an astronomer proposed the swing  length  of  a  pendulum  with  a  frequency  of  one  beat  per  second  as  the  unit  of length.

In 1791 the Commission of the French Academy of Sciences proposed the name meter to the unit of length. It would equal one tens-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator along the meridian through Paris.It is realistically represented by the distance between two marks on an iron bar kept in Paris.

In 1889 the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures define the meter as the distance between two lines on a standard bar that made of an alloy of 90%platinum with 10%iridium.

In 1960 the meter was redefined as 1650763.73 wavelengths of orange-red light, in a vacuum, produced by burning the element krypton (Kr-86).

In 1984 the Geneva Conference on Weights and Measures has  defined  the  meter  as  the  distance  light  travels,  in  a  vacuum,  in 1299792458⁄ seconds  with  time  measured  by  a  cesium-133  atomic  clock  which  emits  pulses  of radiation at very rapid, regular intervals.
