The free body diagram of the bas is shown below:

The torque is given by:

\tau=r_{\perp}F

where F is the force and:

r_{\perp}

is the perpendicular distance between the rotation axis and the line of action of the force, which we called the moment arm. We know that the torque follows the principle of superposition then to find the total torque we need to add the torque each force exert. Before we do this we need to find the correct sign of the torque so we need to remember that if a force makes an object rotate counterclockwise then the torque is positive; otherwise it is negative. In this case Force two will exert a positive torque while the other two forces acting on the bar exert a negative torque.

For force one and the weight the moments arms are 5 m and 2.5 m, respectively. This comes from the fact that the forces are perpendicular to the rod.

For force two the moment arm is given as:

r_{\perp}=2\sin 30=1

Hence the total torque is given by:

\begin{gathered} \tau=F_2r_{\perp2}+Wr_{\perp w}+F_1r_{\perp1} \\ \tau=(150)(1)-(9.8)(2.2)(2.5)-(20)(5) \\ \tau=-3.9 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the total torque on the bar is -3.9 Nm (this means that the bar will rotate clockwise).

If this decay has half-life of 2 years, how many years would it take for 10.8 g Protactinium-231 to remain given an initial mass
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Time = 6 years

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the no. of half life periods required to reduce the mass of Protactinium to the given value:

m' = \frac{m}{2^{n} } \\\\2^n = \frac{m}{m'}

where,

n = no. of half-life periods = ?

m = initial mass = 86.3 g

m' = remaining mass = 10.8 g

Therefore,

2^n = \frac{86.3\ g}{10.8\ g}\\\\2^n = 8\\2^n = 2^3

Since the bases are the same. Therefore equating powers:

n = 3

Now we calculate the time:

Time = (n)(Half-Life)\\Time =(3)(2\ years)

<u>Time = 6 years</u>

Modeled after the two satellites problem (slide 12 in Lecture13, Universal gravity), imagine now if the period of the satellite
ikadub [295]

Answer:

  R = 6.3456 10⁴  mile

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where force is gravitational force

      F = m a

The satellite is in a circular orbit therefore the acceleration is centripetal

      a = v² / r

Where the distance is taken from the center of the Earth

     G m M / r² = m v² / r

     G M / r = v²

The speed module is constant, let's use the uniform motion relationships, with the length of the circle is

     d = 2π  r

     v = d / t

The time for a full turn is called period (T)

Let's replace

     G M / r = (2π r / T)²

     r³ = G M T²²2 / 4π²

     r = ∛ (G M T² / 4π²)

We have the magnitudes in several types of units

      T = 88.59 h (3600 s / 1h) = 3.189 10⁵ s

      Re = 6.37 10⁶ m

Let's calculate

     r = ∛ (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ (3,189 10⁵)²/4π²)

     r = ∛ (1.027487 10²⁴)

     r = 1.0847 10⁸ m

This is the distance from the center of the Earth, the distance you want the surface is

     R = r - Re

     R = 108.47 10⁶ - 6.37 10⁶

     R = 102.1 10⁶ m

Let's reduce to miles

      R = 102.1 10⁶ m (1 mile / 1609 m)

     

      R = 6.3456 10⁴  mile
