A 1 kg rock is hung from one end of a meter at the 0 cm mark so that the meter is balanced as a balance when the filter is at the 25 cm mark. From this information, what is the mass of the meter?

Expert Solution

Solution) m1 = 1 kg

M = ?

Net torque = 0

(m1)g(0.25) - (MgL)/(4) = 0

L = 1 m

(1)(0.25) - (M)(0.25) = 0

M(0.25) = 1(0.25)

M = 1 kg

1. A 12.0 kg sign is to be hung from the end of a uniform horizontal beam of length 2.50 m and mass 55.0 kg. A vertical wire supports the beam near the end where the sign is located, and a pin attaches the beam to a wall on the opposite end of the beam. (a) If the pin can withstand a maximum force of 100 N, find the minimum distance from the wall that the vertical wire can be...

A 1-kg ball is tied to the end of a 2-meter string and revolved in a horizontal plane making a 30o angle with the vertical. (a) What is the ball's speed? (b) If the ball is now revolved so that its speed is 4m/s, what angle does the string need to make with the vertical? (c) If the string can withstand a maximum tension of 10 N, what is the highest speed at which the ball can travel?

A spherical rock (R= 19 cm, p=3350 kg/m^3) is attached to the end of a copper wire (diameter 3 mm, effective length of 1.21 m) and then revolved in a circular path in a vertical plane with a period of 0.97 s. Determine the maximum and the minimum length of the copper wire. (You may assume the path remains circular and the motion is uniform).

A spring of equilibrium (un-stretched) length L0 is hung vertically from one end. A mass M is attached to the other end of the spring and lowered so that the mass hangs stationary with the spring stretched a distance ΔL. The position of the bottom end of the un-stretched spring is defined as y=0 and shown by the (upper) blue line in the figure. The position of the end of the stretched spring is shown by the (lower) red line...

an 10 kg object is hung from a spring attached to a fixed support. The spring constant of the spring is k=40 Nm**(-1) (I mean to the power of -1) Suppose an external downward force of magnitude f(T) = 20 e **(-2t) N is applied to the object, and damping due to air resistence occurs with damping constant beta = 40 N s m **(-1). Let y(t) denote the distance in meters of the object below its equilibrium position at...
