Force = mass * acceleration
Here is an equation for force, used to calculate force.
Look at it this way:-
Joules is used to measure force, while mass is measured by kg. Acceleration is measured by m/s/s (meters per second per second, or meters per second squared.)
joules = m/s/s * kg
Which makes everything fit in just right! :D
Answer: 4550 Joules
The formula for potential energy in gravitational field is as follows:
Answer:
-540 kJ
Explanation:
P = Pressure which is applied to the piston = 180 kPa
= Final volume = 2 m³
= Initial volume = 5 m³
Work done is given by
The work required to compress helium is -540 kJ
Answer:
Fscos63
Explanation:
Given that a horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building. There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall. There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P?
Taking the moment from the pivot point P, that means the moment at point p = 0
Then, if we consider the weight mg of the pole, according to the principle of equilibrium : sum of the upward forces equal to the sum of the downward forces.
Therefore, mg = Fsinø ....... (1)
Also, taking moment at point P
Let the length of the pole = s
The length of the weight of the pole = 1/2 S
Fscosø = mgs/2
The distance s will cancel out
2Fcosø = mg ...... (3)
Substitute mg in equation 1 into equation 3
2fcosø = fsinø
F will cancel out
Tanø = 2
Ø = tan^-1(2)
Ø = 63.4 degree
The moment of force F about pivot point P will be
Moment = force × distance
Moment = Fcos63 × S
Moment = Fscos63
