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.

Hello!

Let's begin by doing a summation of torques, placing the pivot point at the attachment point of the rod to the wall.

\Sigma \tau = 0

We have two torques acting on the rod:
- Force of gravity at the center of mass (d = 0.700 m)

- VERTICAL component of the tension at a distance of 'L' (L = 2.200 m)

Both of these act in opposite directions. Let's use the equation for torque:
\tau = r \times F

Doing the summation using their respective lever arms:

0 = L Tsin\theta  - dF_g

dF_g = LTsin\theta

Our unknown is 'theta' - the angle the string forms with the rod. Let's use right triangle trig to solve:

tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{H}{L}) = \theta\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{1.70}{2.200}) = 37.69^o

Now, let's solve for 'T'.

T = \frac{dMg}{Lsin\theta}

Plugging in the values:
T = \frac{(0.700)(4.00)(9.8)}{(2.200)sin(37.69)} = \boxed{20.399 N}

how does spatial pattern of heights illustrate the relationship between temperature density and the rate of vertical pressure ch
Anika [276]

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

Generally, the relationship between temperature, density and rate of vertical pressure is given as;

\rho = \frac{PM}{RT}

\frac{dP}{dz} = -\rho g\\\\

where;

  • <em>ρ is density</em>
  • <em>T is temperature</em>
  • <em>dP is rate of change of vertical  pressure</em>

Thus, from the formula above, we can conclude the following relationship between temperature, density and the rate of vertical pressure change in spatial pattern of heights.

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

A 1.0-kg ball is attached to the end of a 2.5-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string h
hram777 [196]

Answer:

v_{2}=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy we have:

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh

Let's solve it for v:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

So the speed at the lowest point is v=7 m/s

Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}

Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is v_{2}=3.5 m/s

I hope it helps you!
