A uniform shelf 1.8 meters long with mass 15 kg is mounted by a small hinge on a wall. The beam is held in a horizontal position

by a cable that makes an angle of 37°. There is a 4.9-kg round light hanging down and is 0.55 meters from the wall. What is the tension in the supporting cable?

Answer:

 T = 153.72 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the conditions of translational and rotational equilibrium.

Let's set a frame of reference on the hinge, start by writing the rotational equilibrium relationship, suppose counterclockwise rotation is positive

We look for the components of the cable tension with trigonometry

           cos 37 = Tₓ / T

           sin 37 = T_{y} / T

           Tₓ = T cos 37

           T_{y} = T sin 37

the expression for rotational equilibrium is

        T_{y} L + Tₓ 0 - W L / 2 - W_light  0.55 = 0

where L is the length L=  1.8 m,

        T_{y} = (W L/2 + W_lght 0.55) / L

        T sin 37 = Mg /2 + m_light g 0.55 / L

        T = (M / 2 + m_light 0.55 / L) g / sin 35

 let's calculate

        T = (15/2 + 4.9 0.55 / 1.8) 9.8 / sin 35

         T = 153.72 N

A factory has 1200 workers of which 720 are male and the rast are female what percent of workers are female​
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Percent of Female Workers = 40%

Explanation:

The percentage of the female workers in the given group of workers can be easily found by the following formula:

Percent\ of\ Female\ Workers = \frac{No.\ of\ Female\ Workers}{Total\ No.\ of\ Workers}\ x\ 100\%

where,

Total No. of Workers = 1200

No. of Female Workers = Total Workers - No. of Male Workers

No. of Female Workers = 1200 - 720 = 480

Therefore,

Percent\ of\ Female\ Workers = \frac{480}{1200}\ x\ 100\%

<u>Percent of Female Workers = 40%</u>

How do fossils provide evidence of continental drift?
Alex777 [14]
C explanation: There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined. If Continental Drift had not occurred, the alternative explanations would be: They swam to the other continent/s in breeding pairs to establish a second population. ...
