Explanation:
1)
There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:
- The force of gravity, of magnitude , in the downward direction, where
is the rocket's mass
is the acceleration of gravity
- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude
According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:
(1)
where a is the acceleration of the rocket.
Solving for a, we find the initial acceleration:
2)
When the rocket reaches an altitude of 5000 m, its acceleration has increased to
The reason for this increase is that the mass of the rocket has decreased, because the rocket has burned some fuel.
We can therefore rewrite eq.(1) as
where
is the new mass of the rocket
Re-arranging the equation and solving for m', we find
And since the initial mass of the rocket was
This means that the mass of fuel burned is
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m
Weight of the beam, () = 332 N
Weight of the Suki, () = 505 N
After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.
= 0
x =
=
= 0.986 m
Hence, the suki can come (2 - 0.986) m = 1.014 from the end before the beam begins to tip.
Thus, we can conclude that suki can come 1.014 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip.
