When tightening a bolt, you push perpendicularly on a wrench with a force of 165 N at a distance of 0.140 m from the center of the bolt. How much torque are you exerting (axis of rotation is center of bolt)?
How do you solve problem? I'm confused about which equations to use and which variables go where. How should I think about what is going on? You have a pulley 14.6 cm in diameter and with a mass of 1.9 kg. You get to wondering whether the pulley is uniform. That is, is the mass evenly distributed, or is it concentrated toward the center or the rim? To find out, you hang the pulley on a hook, wrap a string around it several times, and suspend your 1.2 kg physics book 1.5 m above the floor. With your stopwatch, you can find that it takes 0.62 s for your book to hit the floor. Use g=9.8 m/s2. a) What is the moment of inertia if the pulley is uniform? b) What is the actual moment of inertia of the pulley based on your measurement? c) Is the pulley uniform (within 1% of uniform), is the mass of the pulley concentrated toward the center, or is the mass concentrated toward the rim?
My book has the answers as a) 10N b) 196N But I can't figure out the proper way to work it out. I figured you start by using torque and the weight of the board plus the forces of each support to make a equation for Fn1. Then once you solve for it go back and make a equation for Fn2. But I'm not getting the answers in my book when I do this.
1. The figure below shows the normal configuration of the head with proper posture. The center of mass for the weight of the skull is labeled W and the muscles that attach to the back of the skull are labeled M. Assume all quantities are correct to 2 significant figures. M W a) Determine the mechanical advantage of the skull muscles when d₁ 20 mm and d₂ = 26 mm. Hint: Which force on the fulcrum (rotation point) is the effort, and which is the load? Enter to 2 significant figures Mechanical Advantage: b) Improper posture and positioning of the head can lead to muscle tension headaches. If the head begins to shift forward while studying or reading, the center of mass moves further from the fulcrum or pivot point. It is a subtle change, but the figure below shows the head shifted forward. The center of mass for the weight of the skull is labeled W and the muscles that attach to the back of the skull are labeled M. Determine the new mechanical advantage of the skull muscles when d₁ = 16 mm…
