A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at

the other end as shown. The cable is attached at a height H=1.70 m above the pivot and the plank's CM is located a distance d=0.700 m from the pivot.
Calculate the tension in the cable.

The tension in the cable is 23.2 N

<h3>What is the tension in the string?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be resolved into horizontal and vertical forces Tcosθ and Tsinθ respectively.

Tcosθ, is acting perpendicularly, Tcosθ = 0

Taking moments about the pivot:

Tsinθ * 2.2 = 4 * 9.8 * 0.7

Solving for θ;

θ = tan⁻¹(1.4/2.2) = 32.5°

T = 27.44/(sin 32.5 * 2.2)

T = 23.2 N

In conclusion, the tension in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot.

The 1.18-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in
sattari [20]

Answer:

 k = 11,564 N / m,   w = 6.06 rad / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we have a horizontal bar and a vertical spring not stretched, the bar is released, which due to the force of gravity begins to descend, in the position of Tea = 46º it is in equilibrium;

 let's apply the equilibrium condition at this point

                 

Axis y

          W_{y} - Fr = 0

          Fr = k y

let's use trigonometry for the weight, we assume that the angle is measured with respect to the horizontal

             sin 46 = W_{y} / W

             W_{y} = W sin 46

     

 we substitute

           mg sin 46 = k y

           k = mg / y sin 46

If the length of the bar is L

          sin 46 = y / L

           y = L sin46

 

we substitute

           k = mg / L sin 46 sin 46

           k = mg / L

for an explicit calculation the length of the bar must be known, for example L = 1 m

           k = 1.18 9.8 / 1

           k = 11,564 N / m

With this value we look for the angular velocity for the point tea = 30º

let's use the conservation of mechanical energy

starting point, higher

          Em₀ = U = mgy

end point. Point at 30º

         Em_{f} = K -Ke = ½ I w² - ½ k y²

          em₀ = Em_{f}

          mgy = ½ I w² - ½ k y²

          w = √ (mgy + ½ ky²) 2 / I

the height by 30º

           sin 30 = y / L

           y = L sin 30

           y = 0.5 m

the moment of inertia of a bar that rotates at one end is

          I = ⅓ mL 2

          I = ½ 1.18 12

          I = 0.3933 kg m²

let's calculate

          w = Ra (1.18 9.8 0.5 + ½ 11,564 0.5 2) 2 / 0.3933)

          w = 6.06 rad / s

two bumper cars collide into each other and each caor jolts backwards what law is this isnt it newtons second law?
Yanka [14]
Yes because the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Which state of matter would be described as having low energy, with particles that are fixed in place and their only motion is v
Butoxors [25]
1. D) Solid

2. C) They are moving at high speeds and are far from each other

3. A) Gas

4.C) diagram C (as gas has the most kinetic energy so it moves and separates the most)

A)Gas (same question as 3)

5.C) melting

6.C) solid

7.D) condensation, energy is removed

8.D) B is Liquid , it’s freezing as energy is removed

9.A) Gas would change to vapour

10.B) Vaporisation

11. A) As temp increases energy of particles increase and substance changes from solid to liquid to gas

12. particles in a solid are more compact than in liquids and gases & solids maintain a fixed volume whereas liquids and gases are able to move more freely and their volume can change
