1. A meter rule is found to balance at the 48cm mark. When a body of mass 60g is suspended at the 6cm mark the balance point is

found to be at the 30cm mark. Calculate, i) the mass of the meter rule 11) the distance of the balance point from the zero end, if the body were moved to the 13cm mark. ​

Hi there!

We can use a summation of torques to solve.

Recall the equation for torque:
\large\boxed{\Sigma \tau = rF}

r = distance from fulcrum (balance point)

F = force (in this instance, weight, N)

We can set the fulcrum to be the balance point of 30 cm.

Thus:
Meter ruler:

Center of mass at 48 cm ⇒ 48 - 30 = 18 cm

Object:
At 6cm ⇒ 30 - 6 = 24 cm

For the ruler to be balanced:
\large\boxed{\Sigma \tau_{cc} = \Sigma \tau_{ccw}}

Thus:
M_Rg(18) = 60g(24)\\M_R = \frac{60(24)}{18} = \boxed{80 g}

The mass of the ruler is <u>80 grams.</u>

If the body were moved to 13 cm:
B (balance point) - 13 = distance of object

48 - B = distance from ruler center of mass to balance point

80g(48 - B) = 60g(B - 13)\\\\3840 - 80B = 60B - 780\\\\4620 = 140B\\\boxed{B = 33 cm}

The new balance point would be <u>33cm</u> from the zero end.

A weather emergency siren is mounted on a tower, 105 m above the ground. On one hand, it would be a good idea to make the siren
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

101 dB = 10.1 B.

Maximum intensity of sound allowed = 10.1 B

Intensity of sound in terms of W/m² can be found as follows

log (I / I₀) = 10.1

I / I₀ = 10¹⁰°¹

I = I₀ X 10¹⁰°¹

= 10⁻¹² X  10¹⁰°¹

= 10⁻¹°⁹ W/m²

105 m above the ground the this intensity will be 105² times

intensity at source point = 10⁻¹°⁹ x 105²

= 138.79 W/m²

energy of sound from source

= 4π times

= 4 x 3.14 x 138.79

= 1743.28W/m²

To calculate in terms of decibel :

log 1743.28 / 10⁻¹²

= log 1743.28 +12

= 15.24 B

= 152.4 dB .

152.4 dB .

A helicopter is ascending vertically. a passenger accidentally drops her wallet out the sides of the helicopter when it is 160 m
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(E)56.0 m/s

Explanation:

Height =h=-160 m

Because the wallet moving in downward direction

Time=t=7 s

Final speed of wallet=v=0

We have to find the speed of helicopter ascending  at the moment when the passenger let go of the wallet.

v^2-u^2=2gh

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

0-u^2=2(-160)\times 9.8

u^2=3136

u=\sqrt{3136}=56m/s

Option (E) is true
