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.
Answer:
(a) -472.305 J
(b) 1 m
Explanation:
(a)
Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is given by
Initial kinetic energy is
Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero
Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence
0-472.305 J=-472.305 J
(b)
From fundamental kinematic equation
Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance
Making s the subject we obtain
but a=\mu g hence
