A 170-lb man carries a 10-lb can of paint up a helical staircase that encircles a silo with radius 15 ft. if the silo is 40 ft h

igh and the man makes exactly two complete revolutions, how much work is done by the man against gravity in climbing to the top? ft-lbs

Work done against the gravity = Total weight*Vertical distance covered.

Total weight = 170+10 = 180 lb
Vertical distance covered = 40 ft

Therefore,

Work done = 180*40 = 7200 lb-ft

Four forces are exerted on a disk of radius R that is free to spin about its center, as shown above. The magnitudes are proporti

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The given magnitude of forces of F₁ = F₄, F₂ = F₃, F₁ = 2·F₂, give the

forces that exert zero net torque on the disk as the options;

(B) F₂

(D) F₄

<h3>How can the net torque on the disk be calculated?</h3>

The given parameters are;

F₁ = F₄

F₂ = F₃

F₁ = 2·F₂

Therefore;

F₄ = 2·F₂

In vector form, we have;

$\vec{F_4} = \mathbf{\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \cdot F_4 \cdot \hat i - 0.5 \cdot F_4 \hat j}$

$\vec{F_2} = \mathbf{ -F_2 \, \hat j}$

Clockwise moment due to F₄, M₁ = $-0.5 \times F_4 \, \hat j \times \dfrac{R}{2}$

Therefore;

$M_1 =- 0.5 \times 2 \times F_2 \, \hat j \times \dfrac{R}{2} = \mathbf{ -F_2 \, \hat j \times \dfrac{R}{2}}$

Counterclockwise moment due to F₂ = $-F_2 \, \hat j \times \dfrac{R}{2}$

Given that the clockwise moment due to F₄ = The counterclockwise moment due to F₂, we have;

Two forces that combine to exert zero net torque on the disk are;

F₂, and F₄

Which are the options; (B) F₂, and (D) F₄

Table C: Average Speeds for Lower Racetrack

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Centripetal Acceleration = v^2/r

= (circumference/time)^2/r

= (2*pi*r/t)²)/r

= ((2³.14*50/14.3)²)/50

= 9.64 m/s²

An electron of mass 9.11×10−31 kgkg leaves one end of a TV picture tube with zero initial speed and travels in a straight line t

ki77a [65]

Explanation:

We will use the equations of constant acceleration to find out $a_{x}$ and time t.

As we know that the initial speed is zero. So

(a)

$v_{0x} = 0$

$x - x_{o} = 1.25$ × $10^{-2}$ m

$v_{x} = 3.3$ × $10^{6}$ m/s

$v^{2} _{x} = v^{2} _{x_{o} } + 2a_{x} (x - x_{o} )$

$a_{x} = \frac{v^{2} _{x} - v^{2} _{ox} }{2(x - x_{o}) }$

= $\frac{(3.3 * 10^{6})^{2} - 0 }{2(1.25 * 10^{-2}) }$

= 4.356× $10^{14}$ m/s²

(b)

$v_{x} = v_{ox} + a_{x}t$

$t = v_{x} - vo_{x}/a_{x}$

$t = \frac{3.00 * 10^{6} }{4.356*10^{14} }$ = 6.8870× $10^{-9}$ s

(c)

Σ $F_{x} = ma_{x}$

= (9.11× $10^{-31}$ )(4.356× $10^{14}$ m/s²)

= 3.968× $10^{-16}$ N
