The lower and upper fixed points of a
mercury-in-glass thermometer are
marked X and 180mm respectively.
On a particular day the mercury
meniscus in the thermometer rises
to 60mm. If the corresponding
reading on a Celsius scale is 20°C,
what is the value of X?

Does work output exceed work input when a machine is used? a) yes, it does, as machines create energy. b) it depends on the type of machine used. c) no, it doesn’t, as machines are inefficient. d) no, it doesn’t, as machines cannot create energy.

Question 11 of 13 (1 point) jump to question: a stairway, ladder, or ramp must be present in excavations in which of the following situations? a. all trenches must have access/egress b. the trench is more than 15 feet wide but only 1 ½ feet deep c. the trench is more than 4 feet deep and the devices must be within 25 feet of all workers

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
