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.

If you mass 35kg on earth what will your mass be on the moon where gravity is 1/6 that of earths. PLZZZZ HElP NEED ASAP
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Mass will be same on moon as on Earth but weight will be one-sixth of Earth.

Explanation:

Mass of a body doesn't depend on gravity. Mass is a constant quantity. So, mass on moon will be same as mass on Earth.

But, the weight of a body depends on gravity as weight is given as:

\textrm{Weight}=\textrm{mass}\times \textrm{acceleration due to gravity}

Therefore, if g is acceleration due to gravity on Earth, then weight on Earth is, W_{E}=mg

Now, gravity on moon is one-sixth of Earth. So, g_{moon}=\frac{1}{6}g

Therefore, weight of the body on moon is, W_{moon}=mg_{moon}=m\times \frac{1}{6}g=\frac{1}{6}mg=\frac{1}{6}W_{E}

Therefore, a body has same mass both on moon and Earth but weight on moon is one-sixth of the weight on Earth.

When you go "down" the food chain by continuing to ask "what does it eat?" at what category of living things do you always end u
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.

Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare  there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.

Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.

A force of 5 n produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 in mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s2 in mass m2 .what acceleration would i
Inessa [10]

Acceleration of the both masses tied together= 6m/s²

Explanation:

The force is given by F= ma

so 5= m1 (8)

m1=0.625 Kg

for m2

5=m2 (24)

m2=0.208 kg

now total mass= m1+m2=0.625+0.208

Total mass=M=0.833 Kg

now F= ma

5= 0.833 (a)

a= 5/0.833

a=6m/s²
