The reading on the scale is equal to the weight of the student which is 646.8 N.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the student, m = 66 kg</em>

The reading on the scale is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

R = ma+ mg\\\\R = m(a + g)\\\\R = m(0 + g)\\\\R = mg

<em>The student is at rest and not accelerating, a =0</em>

R = 66 \times 9.8\\\\R = 646.8 \ N

Thus, the reading on the scale is equal to the weight of the student which is 646.8 N.

The complete question is below:

A 66 kg student stands on a very light, rigid board that rests on a bathroom scale at each end as shown in (Figure 1). what is the reading on the scale?

A very long string (linear density 0.7 kg/m ) is stretched with a tension of 70 N . One end of the string oscillates up and down
rewona [7]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Wavelength, The relationship between speed, voltage and linear density as well as frequency. By definition the speed as a function of the tension and the linear density is given by

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

Where,

T = Tension

\rho = Linear density

Our data are given by

Tension , T = 70 N

Linear density , \rho = 0.7 kg/m

Amplitude , A = 7 cm = 0.07 m

Period , t = 0.35 s

Replacing our values,

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

V = \sqrt{\frac{70}{0.7}

V = 10m/s

Speed can also be expressed as

V = \lambda f

Re-arrange to find \lambda

\lambda = \frac{V}{f}

Where,

f = Frequency,

Which is also described in function of the Period as,

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.35}

f = 2.86 Hz

Therefore replacing to find \lambda

\lambda = \frac{10}{2.86}

\lambda = 3.49m

Therefore the wavelength of the waves created in the string is 3.49m

A gas at 5.00 atm pressure was stored in a tank during the winter at 5.0 °C. During the summer, the temperature in the storage a
saw5 [17]

Answer:

a) 5.63 atm

Explanation:

We can use combined gas law

<em>The combined gas law</em> combines the three gas laws:

  • Boyle's Law,   (P₁V₁ =P₂V₂)
  • Charles' Law  (V₁/T₁ =V₂/T₂)
  • Gay-Lussac's Law.  (P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂)

It states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.

P₁V₁/T₁ =P₂V₂/T₂

where P = Pressure, T = Absolute temperature, V = Volume occupied

The volume of the system remains constant,

So, P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂

a) \frac{5}{278} =\frac{P_2}{313}  \\\\P_2=\frac{5*313}{278}\\ P_2 = 5.63 atm
