Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, $F=80\ N$

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, $d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m$

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

$M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}$

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.

An airliner arrives at the terminal, and its engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angu

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

where we have

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for $\omega_f$ , we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s$

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

$t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}$

where here we have

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\omega_f=0$ is the final angular speed

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

$t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s$

A car travels around a level, circular track that is 750m across. What coefficient of friction is required to ensure the car can

Crank

The coefficient of friction must be 0.196

Explanation:

For a car moving on a circular track, the frictional force provides the centripetal force needed to keep the car in circular motion. Therefore, we can write:

$\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the term on the left is the frictional force acting between the tires of the car and the road, while the term on the right is the centripetal force. The various terms are:

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road
