A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.070

0 kg sphere is welded to the other end. The rod, pivoting about a stationary, frictionless axis at its center, is held horizontal and released from rest. What is the linear speed of the 0.0500-kg sphere as its passes through its lowest point?

Given Information:

length of slender rod = L = 90 cm = 0.90 m

mass of slender rod = m = 0.120 kg

mass of sphere welded to one end = m₁ = 0.0200 kg

mass of sphere welded to another end = m₂ = 0.0700 kg (typing error in the question it must be 0.0500 kg as given at the end of the question)

Required Information:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = v = ?

Answer:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the sphere can by calculated using

ΔKE = ½Iω²

Where I is the moment of inertia of the whole setup ω is the speed and ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy

The moment of inertia of a rigid rod about center is given by

I = (1/12)mL²

The moment of inertia due to m₁ and m₂ is

I = (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

L/2 means that the spheres are welded at both ends of slender rod whose length is L.

The overall moment of inertia becomes

I = (1/12)mL² + (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

I = (1/12)0.120*(0.90)² + (0.0200+0.0500)(0.90/2)²

I = 0.0081 + 0.01417

I = 0.02227 kg.m²

The change in the potential energy is given by

ΔPE = m₁gh₁ + m₂gh₂

Where h₁ and h₂ are half of the length of slender rod

L/2 = 0.90/2 = 0.45 m

ΔPE = 0.0200*9.8*0.45 + 0.0500*9.8*-0.45

The negative sign is due to the fact that that m₂ is heavy and it would fall and the other sphere m₁ is lighter and it would will rise.

ΔPE = -0.1323 J

This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy therefore,

ΔKE = ½Iω²

0.1323 = ½(0.02227)ω²

ω² = (2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = √(2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = 3.45 rad/s

The linear speed is

v = (L/2)ω

v = (0.90/2)*3.45

v = 1.55 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere as its passes through its lowest point is 1.55 m/s.

an elevator mass of 7700 kg falls from a height of 32 m after a sudden failure in the hoisting cable. The mass is stopped by a s
valkas [14]

Answer:k=28.29 kN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass m =7700 kg

height from which Elevator falls h=32 m

Let x be the compression in the spring

thus From conservation of Energy Potential energy will convert in to Elastic Potential Energy of spring

\frac{kx^2}{2}=mg(h+x)----------1

also maximum acceleration is 5g

thus

mg-kx=ma

here a=-5g

kx=mg-m(-5g)=6mg

x=\frac{6mg}{k}

Substitute x in equation 1

0.5\times k\times (\frac{6mg}{k})^2=mg(h+\frac{6mg}{k})

18\frac{(mg)^2}{k}=mgh+6\frac{(mg)^2}{k}

k=12\cdot \frac{mg}{h}

k=12\times \frac{7700\times 9.8}{32}

k=28.29 kN/m

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be
Novosadov [1.4K]
It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
          = kg      *  ms⁻²
          = kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
       kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2
