Mass is measured in kilograms.
Mass does not change when gravity changes.
Mass is the amount of matter in something.

<u>Weight</u>

Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
Weight is a gravitational force.

Hope you could understand.

olasank [31]

Answer:

hello your question lacks some data and required diagram

G = 77 GPa, т all = 80 MPa

answer : required diameter = 252.65 * 10-^3 m

Explanation:

Given data :

force ( P ) = 660 -N force

displacement = 15 mm

G = 77 GPa

т all = 80 MPa

i) Determine the required diameter of shaft BC

considering the vertical displacement ( looking at handle DC from free body diagram )

D' = 0.3 sin∅ , where D = 0.015

hence ∅ = 2.8659°

calculate the torque acting at angle ∅ of CD on the shaft BC

Torque = 660 * 0.3 cos∅

= 660 * 0.3 * cos 2.8659 = 198 * -0.9622 = 190.5156 N

hello attached is the remaining part of the solution

An object moving at a constant speed of 25 m/s is making a turn with a radius of curvature of 7 m (this is the radius of the "ki

prisoha [69]

Answer:

- 278.34 kg m/s^2

Explanation:

The rate of the change of momentum is the same as the force.

The force that an object feels when moviming in a circular motion is given by:

F = -mrω^2

Where ω is the angular speed and r is the radius of the circumference

Aditionally, the tangential velocity of the body is given as:

v = rω

The question tells us that

v = 25 m/s

r = 7m

mv = 78 kg m/s

Therefore:

m = (78 kg m/s) / (25 m/s) = 3.12 kg

ω = (25 m/s) / (7 m) = 3.57 (1/s)

Now, we can calculate the force or rate of change of momentum:

F = - (3.12 kg) (7 m)(3.57 (1/s))^2

F = - 278.34 kg m/s^2
