To solve this problem we will apply the given concept for torque which explains the relationship between the force applied and the distance to a given point. Mathematically this relationship is given as

$\tau = F*d \rightarrow F = \frac{\tau}{d}$

Where,

$\tau =$ Torque

F = Force

d = Distance

Our values are given as,

$\tau = 7.0Nm , d = 0.55m$

Therefore replacing we have that the force is

$F = \frac{7}{0.55}$

F = 12.72N

Therefore the least amount of force that you must exert is 12.72N

Answer:

The potential energy has a maximum when the ball is a time that is half of the time for total travel

Explanation:

Generally potential energy is a the varies directly with the height according to this formula

$PE =mgh$

and the ball attains a maximum height when the time is equal to half of the total time taken to travel

A crate resting on a rough horizontal floor is to be moved horizontally. The coefficient of static friction is 0.36. To start th

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of force will be in upward direction making an angle of θ with the vertical .

Reaction force R = mg - F cosθ

Friction force = μR

= .36 (mg - F cosθ )

Horizontal component of applied force

= F sinθ

For equilibrium

F sinθ = .36 (mg - F cosθ)

F sinθ + .36 F cosθ =.36 mg

F (sinθ + .36 cosθ) = .36 mg

F R( cosδsinθ +sinδ cosθ) = .36 mg ( Rcosδ = 1 . Rsinδ= .36 )

F R sin( θ+δ ) = . 36 mg

F = .36 mg / Rsin( θ+δ )

For minimum F , sin( θ+δ ) should be maximum

sin( θ+ δ ) = sin 90

θ+ δ = 90

Rsinδ / Rcosδ = .36

δ = 20⁰

θ = 70⁰ Ans

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

$\Delta U = Q-W$

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)$

Where

$\dot{m} =$ Mass flow

$h_1 =$ Specific Enthalpy (IN)

$h_2 =$ Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

$g =$ Gravity

$z_{1,2} =$ Heigth state (In, OUT)

$V_{1,2} =$ Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

$T_i = 10\°C$

$P_1 = 100kPa$

$\dot{m} = 5kg/s$

$z_2 = 20m$

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

$h_1 = h_2$

$V_1 = V_2$

Then we have that our equation now is,

$\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}$

$\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}$

$\dot{W} = -0.98kW$
