I'm studying the equilibrium of forces so hard that I got confused for a sec. Is the force due to gravity included in summing up

moments about a point? Or external forces are only considered in the summation of moments? Thanks!

Answer:

Yes, you would consider the mass × gravity at the centre of gravity of the object in question to cause a moment, hence it should be included in your resolution

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este
Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: 823.5kg/m^3

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

<em>"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate: </em>

<em>a) the density of the liquid; </em>

<em>b) the weight of the liquid."</em>

a)

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

M=m_L + m_V (1)

where

m_L is the mass of the liquid

m_V is the mass of the vessel

We also know that the total mass M is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel, so we have:

M=5m_V\\m_V=\frac{M}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35 kg

which is the mass of the empty vessel.

Therefore, we can find the mass of the liquid only using (1):

m_L=M-m_V=175-35=140 kg

The density of the liquid is given by

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m = 140 kg (mass of the liquid)

V = 0.170 kL = 170 L = 0.170 m^3 (volume of the liquid, which is equal to the volume of the vessel)

So we get

d=\frac{140}{0.170}=823.5kg/m^3

b)

The weight of a body is given by

F=mg

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the liquid in this problem, we have

m = 140 kg (mass)

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore, its weight is

F=(140)(9.8)=1372 N

A discharge lamp rated at 25 W (1 W = 1 J/s) emits yellow light of wavelength 580 nm. How many photons of yellow light does the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

the number of photons of yellow light does the lamp generate in 1.0 s is 7 x 10^{19}

Explanation:

given information:

power, P = 25 W

wavelength. λ - 580 nm = 5.80 x 10^{-7} m

time, t = 1 s

to calculate the number of photon(N), we use the following equation

N = λPt/hc

where

λ = wavelength (m)

P = power (W)

t = time interval (s)

h = Planck's constant (6.23 x 10^{-34} Js)

c = light's velocity (3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

So,

N = λPt/hc

   = (5.80 x 10^{-7})(25)(1)/(6.23 x 10^{-34})(3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

    = 7 x 10^{19}

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.

The equation for the position of the car is:

x = v · t

Where

x = position at time t

v = velocity

t = time

x = v · t

27 m = 17 m/s · t

27 m / 17 m/s = t

t = 1.6 s

Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:

The position of the bolt will be:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Where

y = height of the bolt at time t

y0 = initial height of the bolt

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²

y0 = 13 m
