A 90 kg painter is standing on a horizontal wooden scaffolding of length 10 m, which is supported on each end by a rope. The pai

nter is standing 2 m from the first rope and 8 m from the second rope. What is the tension in the first rope (in Newtons)

RSB [31]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

For equilibrium, \sum M = 0.

So,   8 m \times mg - (10 m) T_{1} = 0

             T_{1} = \frac{8 \times mg}{10}

                        = \frac{8 \times 90 \times 9.8}{10}

                        = 705.6 N

Also, for equilibrium \sum F_{y} = 0

              T_{1} + T_{2} - mg = 0

or,         T_{2} = mg - T_{1}

                        = 90 \times 9.8 - 705.6

                        = 176.4 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.

How does SCOTUS view information obtained by private citizens and subsequently shared with law enforcement?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

as a legal search

Explanation:

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given b
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given by :

Q=t^3-2t^2+4t+4

We need to find the current flowing. We know that the rate of change of electric charge is called electric current. It is given by :

I=\dfrac{dQ}{dt}\\\\I=\dfrac{d(t^3-2t^2+4t+4)}{dt}\\\\I=3t^2-4t+4

At t = 1 s,

Current,

I=3(1)^2-4(1)+4\\\\I=3\ A

So, the current at t = 1 s is 3 A.

For lowest current,

\dfrac{dI}{dt}=0\\\\\dfrac{d(3t^2-4t+4)}{dt}=0\\\\6t-4=0\\\\t=0.67\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A box sits at rest on a rough 33° inclined plane. Draw the free-body diagram, showing all the forces
Cloud [144]

(a) The free body of all the forces include, frictional force, weight of the box acting perpendicular and another acting parallel to the plane.

(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.

(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.

<h3>Free body diagram</h3>

The free body diagram of all the forces on the box is obtained by noting the upward force and downward forces on the box as shown below;

                      /  W2

                    Ф → Ff

                    ↓W1

where;

  • Ff is the frictional force resisting the down motion of the box
  • W1 is the perpendicular component of the box weight = Wcos(33)
  • W2 is the parallel component of the box weight = Wsin(33)

(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.

(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.
