The statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

<h3>Mechanical Advantage</h3>

Mechanical advantage MA = d/D where

  • d = distance moved by effort and
  • D = distance moved by load

Given that the effort arm is 8 meters long, d = distance moved by effort = 8 m.

Also, given that the resistance arm is 2 meters long, D = distance moved by load = 2 m.

<h3>Calculating the mechanical advantage</h3>

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

MA = d/D

MA = 8 m/2 m

MA = 4

Since MA = 4, so, the stament is False.

So, the statement the mechanical advantage of the lever is 16 is False.

Answer:

FB = 0.187 N

Explanation:

To find the magnetic force FB in the wire you use the following formula:

|\vec{F_B}|=ILBsin\theta\\\\L=0.25m\\\\|\vec{B}|=\sqrt{(0.3y)^2+(0.4y)^2}=0.5y \ T

the angle between B and L is given by:

\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}=LBcos\theta\\\\\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{L}\cdot\vec{B}}{LB})=cos^{-1}(\frac{0*0.3y+0.25*0.4y}{0.25*0.5y})=36.86\°

Due to B depends on "y" you take into account the contribution of each element dy of the wire to the magnitude of the magnetic force. Thus, you have to integrate the following expression:

|\vec{F_B}|=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}B(y)dy=Isin\theta\int_0^{0.25}(0.5y)dy\\\\|\vec{F_B}|=(2.0*10^{-3}A)(sin36.86\°)(0.5T)[\frac{0.25^2}{2}m]=0.187\ N

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force is 0.187N

Which person is weightless?
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object helps in determining the weight of an object. But a place where there will be no gravity or have zero gravitational pull then it means the person will be weightless.

For example, force of gravity on moon is zero which means any object or person on moon will be weightless.

On the other hand, when a child is in the air as she plays on a trampoline then it means gravitational pull form the earth is acting on it. So, it will definitely has some weight.

Similarly, a scuba diver exploring a deep-sea wreck is under the ground where there will be force of gravity. Hence, it will also have some weight.

Thus, we can conclude that an astronaut on the Moon is the person who is weightless.
