Answer:
1.28 m
Explanation:
As shown in the diagram attached,
According to the principle of moment,
For a body at equilibrium,
Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.
Taking moment about the pivot,
W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1
Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.
But,
W = mg
Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body
Therefore,
W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,
Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N
W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N
Substitute these values into equation 1
(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)
407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x
337.12x = 431.1412
x = 431.1412/337.12
x = 1.2789
x ≈ 1.28 m
Answer:
(a) 0.942 m
(b) 18.84 m/s
(c) 2366.3 m/s²
(d) 0.05 s
Explanation:
(a) In one revolution, it travels through one circumference, 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 0.15 m = 0.942 m.
(b) Its frequency, f, is 1200 rev/min = rev/s = 20 rev/s.
Its angular frequency, ω = 2πf = 2π × 20 = 40π
The speed is given by
v = ωr = 40π × 0.15 = 6π = 18.84 m/s
(c) Its acceleration is given by, a = ω²r = (40π)² × 0.15 = 2366.3 m/s²
(d) The period is the inverse of the frequency because it is the time taken to complete one revolution.
T = 1/20 = 0.05 s
