Ameterstick of negligible mass is fixed horizontally at its 10 cm mark. imagine this meterstick used as a display for some fruits and vegetables with record-breaking masses. a lemon with a mass of 3.9 kg hangs from the 70 cm mark, and a cucumber with a mass of 9.1 kg hangs from the x cm mark. what is the value of x if the net torque acting on the meterstick is 56 n•m in the counterclockwise direction?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)

A1-lb collar is attached to a spring and slides without friction along a circular rod in a vertical plane. the spring has an undeformed length of 5 in. and a constant k =25 lb/ft. knowing that the collar is released from being held at a determine, the speed of the collar and the normal force between the collar and the rod as the collar passes through b.
