q7532019344.png

Determine the weight of the metal bar.



Text Answer


Clockwise moments = anticlockwise moments

2.5 x 0.4 + w x0.2 = 5 x 0.3
1 +0.2w = 1.5
0.2w = 0.5(divide by 0.2)

W = 2.5N

Next: An oil drop forms a circular patch of an area 5.0 x 10-13cm2. If the drop has a volume of 9.0 x 10-14 cm3, estimate the diameter of the oil molecule.
Previous: A Girl in a school in the Coast region plans to make a barometer, using sea water of density 1030kgm-3. If the atmospheric pressure is 103000Nm-2. Determine the minimum length of the tube she will use. Take g =10N/kg.
