We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0
where
W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N is the weight of the person
W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
T_1 = 2845 N-T_2 (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using W_p = 883 N and replacing T1 with (1), we find
2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0
from which we find
T_2 = 1128 N

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
T_1 = 1717 N

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Electric Field = E = 36.848 N/C

Explanation:

In accordance with Columb's law

E = k Q1 Q2 / r.r = 8.99 x 10^9 x 5.0 x 10^-6 x 5.8 x 10^-6 / 0.084 x 0.084

= 36948.6961 x 10^-3 = 36.848 N/C

An object is pushed from rest across a sheet of ice, accelerating at 8.0 m/s^2 [E] over a displacement of 1.05 m [E]. The object
tatiyna

Answer:

D_T=18.567m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Acceleration a=8.0 m/s^2

Displacement d=1.05 m

Initial time t_1=6.0s

Final Time t_2=2.5s

Generally the equation for Velocity of 1.05 travel is mathematically given by

Using Newton's Law of Motion

 V^2=2as

 V=\sqrt{2*6*1.05}

 V=4.1m/s

Generally the equation for Distance traveled before stop is mathematically given by

 d_2=v*t_1

 d_2=3.098*4

 d_2=12.392

Generally the equation for Distance to stop is mathematically given by

Since For this Final section

Final velocity v_3=0 m/s

Initial velocity u_3=4.1 m/s

Therefore

Using Newton's Law of Motion

 -a_3=(4.1)/(2.5)

 -a_3=1.64m/s^2

Giving

 v_3^2=u^2-2ad_3

Therefore

 d_3=\frac{u_3^2}{2ad_3}

 d_3=\frac{4.1^2}{2*1.64}

 d_3=5.125m

Generally the Total Distance Traveled is mathematically given by

 D_T=d_1+d_2+d_3

 D_T=5.125m+12.392+1.05 m

 D_T=18.567m
