Let
F=tension of cable on the left
x=angle of left cable makes with the horizontal

Resolve forces vertically (y-direction)
331=550sin(12)+Fsin(x) =>
Fsin(x)=331-550sin(12)=216.649..........(1)

Resolve forces horizontally (x-direction)
Fcos(x)=550cos(12) =>
Fcos(x)=537.981............................(2)

Divide (1) by (2)
tan(x)=Fsin(x)/Fcos(x)=0.40271
x=atan(0.40271) = 21.935 °

From (2),
F=537.981/cos(x)=537.981/0.92761 = 579.965 N

Check:
Fsin(x)+550sin(12)=579.965*sin(21.935)+550*sin(12) = 331.000  ok
Fcos(x)=537.981
550sin(12)=537.981   ok

A person exerts a tangential force of 37.7 N on the rim of a disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.75 m and mass 144 kg. If the
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

 ω = 0.467 rad/s

Explanation:

given,

tangential force exerted by the person = 37.7 N

radius of merry-go-round = 2.75 m

mass of merry-go-round  = 144 Kg

angle =  33.2°

moment of inertia

I = \dfrac{1}{2} m R^2

I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 144 \times 2.75^2

    I = 544.5 kg.m²

torque = force  x radius

τ = 37.7 x  2.75

τ = 103.675 N.m

angular acceleration

\alpha= \dfrac{\tau}{I}

\alpha= \dfrac{103.675}{544.5}

 α = 0.190 rad/s²

now ,

distance = 33.2\times \dfrca{2\pi}{360}

d = 0.579 rad

we know,

using equation of rotational motion

d = \omega t + \dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

0.579 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.190\times t^2

 t = 2.46 s

angular speed

 ω =  α  x t

 ω = 0.19 x 2.46

 ω = 0.467 rad/s

Your car's speedometer works in much the same way as its odometer, except that it converts the angular speed of the wheels to a
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Speed will be 30810 rpm      

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the tire d = 24 inch

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12imch

We have given linear velocity v = 35 mph

We know that linear velocity is given by v=\omega r

35=\omega \times 12

\omega =\frac{35}{12}\times \frac{63360}{60}=3080rad/min

As we know that 1 mile = 63360 inch and 1 hour = 60 min

Calculate the work done by the cyclist when his power output is 200 W for 1800 seconds.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

3.6 × 10^5 J

Explanation:

Work Done = Energy

Energy = Power × time

Energy = 200 × 1800

= 360000 J

W =

3.6 \times 10 {}^{5} j

Stop to Think 7.1 Which one is greater- the attraction of the Earth on 1 kg lead or the attraction of 1 kg of led
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.

Explanation:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass
