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.

timofeeve [1]

It's due to Inertia. The law of Inertia states that a body will try to retain its movement state if possible. This means, if a body is at rest, it will try to remain at rest using forces. Similarly, if it's in movement, it will try to remain in movement.

In this example, the plane is moving forwards, and so do the seats, which in turn push the passenger forwards.The force felt is Inertia acting on the body, trying to counter the movement.

A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth =  4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.
