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 parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that have edge length equal to 1.20×102cm and are separated by 1.00 mm. It is conne
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor will be 1.835\times 10^{-6}J

Explanation:

We have given edge length of capacitor = 1.2\times 10^2cm=1.2m

So area A = 1.2×1.2 = 1.44 m^2

Separation is given as d  1 mm = 10^{-3}m

We know that capacitance is given by C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{10^{-3}}=12.744\times 10^{-9}F

Voltage is given as V = 12 volt

We know that energy stored is given by E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.744\times 10^{-9}\times 12^2=1.835\times 10^{-6}J
