1) C. velocity
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:
where
is the change in velocity
is the time interval
Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.
2) A. 9.8m/s/s
Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula
where
is the gravitational constant
is the Earth's mass
is the Earth's radius
By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is .
Answer
given,
mass of the person, m = 50 Kg
length of scaffold = 6 m
mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg
distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m
Tension in the vertical rope = ?
now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.
T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g
T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8 + 70 x 9.8
T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)
system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.
taking moment about rope with tension T₂.
now,
T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0
'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.
6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3
6 T₁ = 4263
T₁ = 710.5 N
from equation (1)
T₂ = 1176 - 710.5
T₂ = 465.5 N
hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N
