Pivot Placement
Course Textbook Chapter Problem
N/A N/A N/A N/A
Question Details:
A 70 kg adult sits at one end of a 10 m board, on the other end of which sits his 30 kg child. Where should the pivot be placed so the board (ignore its mass) is balanced?

We know that
                  
 
       from the above
        and and
Given that
m1=70kg
m2=30kg
and d = 10m
from the above we get the required answer

Response:
Ans.
 
 
from the above figure you can see that the position the pivot is at point C(let) and the distance of the piovet from the adult (whose positon is at point A) is x m.
so in the avobe diagram
 
length AC= x m
          BC= (10-x)m
now we have to calculate the value of x or i precisely i should say the position of the piovet.
if the board is in equilibrium so
Left ward moment = Right ward moment
m1.x=m2(10-x)----------------(1)
so you have the value of m1 and m2 so put the value and get the answer which is the positon of the pivot.

Ans.5
 
 
 
    from the figure you can see that what is happening actually.
now volume of the aluminium block= V
part of the volume which is submerged in the water= V1
 
so the buoyent force on the aluminium block = V1.ρ.g
in which ρ is representing the density of the water and g is acceleration due  to gravity.
now as you can see that direction of weight of the block is in downward direction and the direction of bouyent force is in upward direcion hence the there will be a net decrease in the actualt weight of the aluminium block and becasue of this there comes a apparent weight into play.
so the apparent weight of the block= actual weight of the blcok - bouyent force on the block
                                              W'  = W-V1.ρ.g
                                                    = V.ρ'.g-V1.ρ.g-------------------(2)
 
now in the eqution (2)
V= volume of the aluminum block
ρ'= density of the aluminium block
V1= volume of the submerged part of the aluminium block
ρ= density of the water
g= acceleration due to gravity
 
now all the values has been given so put the values in equation (1) and get the answer.
 
Ans.7
 
now in this question the electron drops from second energy level to the first one hence it will emit energy in form of radiation and we know that amount of enrgy emitted by an electron from n2 shell to n1 shell is 13.6(1/n1^2-1/n2^2).Let's right it in form of equation.
 
             emitted energy(E)= 13.6(1/n1^2-1/n2^2)
and we also know that enegy of a photon having wavelength λ is hc/λ.
 
so the equation will become
 
                hc/λ=13.69(1/n1^2-1/n2^2) ------------------------(2)
 
in equation (2)
 h= plank's constant
c= velocity of light
λ= wavelength of emitted photon
n1= value of shell in which electron has been dropped.
n2= value of shell from which electron has been emitted.
 
Ans.8
 
 
 
now in the above figure
  
   V=potential difference across the whole circuit
   I1= current in resistor R1
  I2= currenti in resistor R2
  I3= currnt in resisror R3
