Explanation:
a couple is a system of forces with a resultant moment but no resultant force. A better term is force couple or pure moment. Its effect is to create rotation without translation, or more generally without any acceleration of the centre of mass.
The picture isn’t clear so I can’t read the dimensions of the box but I can try my best to guide u through the question.
For part a u need to find the volume of the box as that will equal the volume of sand that can be filled inside.
For this u multiply the height, width and length of the box.
For part b the mass of sand alone will be
=Mass of box + sand - Mass of empty box
=216 - 40
=176 grams
For part c the density of sand can be calculated by the formula
Density= Mass/Volume
So the mass (176g) / volume from part a
For part d u need to know that something will float if it has a lower density than what it is floating in. If the final density of sand that was found in part c is less than the density of gold (19.3 g/cm^3) it will float. Otherwise it will sink.
Hope this helped!
C it reduces the amount of useful work done on objects move it up the ramp
The wire needs to be sauderwired to be connected back into place to get energy into column so it came function properly again!
