Explanation 1) Concept: We use the concept of static equilibrium i.e. balanced torques and balanced forces to determine the magnitudes of the various torques acting on the rod. 2) Formulae: i) τ → = r → × F → ii) τ → n e t = 0 iii) F → n e t = 0 3) Given: The rod AC is in equilibrium and is held by a rope and friction with the wall. 4) Calculation: a) The rod AC is in equilibrium so the torques and the forces acting on it are balanced.The forces acting on it are tension from the rope, friction from the wall and the weight of the rod. All these forces are balanced. To obtain the value of tension T using a single equation, we need to choose a pivot point so that it will eliminate effect of some of the forces. If we consider the pivot point at C, it will eliminate the effect of frictional forces. So the equation of torque will just be composed of component tension in the string that is perpendicular to the rod and weight

Shrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 161 cm , but its circumference is decreasing at a constant rate of 15.0 cm/s due to a tangential pull on the wire. The loop is in a constant uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 T , which is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Assume that you are facing the loop and that the magnetic field points into the loop. Find the magnitude of the emf E induced in the loop after exactly time 9.00 s has passed since the circumference of the loop started to decrease. Find the direction of the induced current in the loop as viewed looking along the direction of the magnetic field. Please explain all steps

Make up an application physics principle problem that provides three (3) significant equations based on the concepts of capacitors and ohm's law.

A straight horizontal garden hose 38.0 m long with an interior diameter of 1.50 cm is used to deliver 20oC water at the rate of 0.590 liters/s. Assuming that Poiseuille's Law applies, estimate the pressure drop (in Pa) from one end of the hose to the other.
