Abarbell is 1.5 m long. three weights, each of mass 20 kg, are hung on the left and two weights of the same mass, on the right. the width of each weight is 4 cm and each group of weights is placed 4 cm from the ends. where is the center of mass of the barbell as measured from the mid-point, m, of the bar? the bar is of uniform mass and has mass 5 kg, and the retaining collars are of negligible mass. take to the right as positive.

r = -11.6 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the position of center of mass is given as

now we know that three masses are on the left while two are on the right

position of left most mass with respect to the center of the rod is given as

Now we will have

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
