A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting

a low point eight more times in 38.0 s. After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge. Calculate the spring stiffness constant and the unstretched length of the bungee cord.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper is 65 kg

The time period of the oscillation is 38 s, hitting a low point eight more times.It means its time period is

T=\dfrac{38}{8}\\\\T=4.75\ s

After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge.

For an oscillating object, the time period is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

k = spring stiffness constant

So,

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 65}{(4.75)^2}\\\\k=113.43\ N/m

When the cord is in air,

mg=kx

x = the extension in the cord

x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{65\times 9.8}{113.6}\\\\x=5.6\ m

So, the unstretched length of the bungee cord is equal to 25 m - 5.6 m = 19.4 m

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = -1.20 m

y = -1.12 m

Explanation:

as we know that four masses and their position is given as

5.0 kg (0, 0)

2.9 kg (0, 3.2)

4 kg (2.5, 0)

8.3 kg (x, y)

As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as

x_{cm} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(0) + 4(2.5) + 8.3 x}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

10 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.20 m

Similarly for y direction we have

y_{cm} = \frac{m_1 y_1 + m_2y_2 + m_3y_3 + m_4y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(3.2) + 4(0) + 8.3 y}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

9.28 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.12 m

The 88-lb force P is applied to the 210-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

F=-88Ib

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force P=88Ib

Mass of crate M_c=210Ib

Generally the equation for Frictional force F is mathematically given by

Friction\ force (f) = friction\ coefficient\ (u) * Normal\ reaction (N)

F=u*N

with \mu =0.47

F=98.7Ib

Therefore since Static Friction supersedes applied force body remains at rest.

Frictional force =88Ib (negative)

F=-88Ib
