A horizontal uniform bar of mass 3 kg and length 3.0 m is hung horizontally on two vertical strings. String 1 is attached to the

end of the bar, and string 2 is attached a distance 0.6 m from the other end. A monkey of mass 1.5 kg walks from one end of the bar to the other. Find the tension T1 in string 1 at the moment that the monkey is halfway between the ends of the bar.

Answer:

T₁ = 2.8125 N

Explanation:

The equilibrium equation of the moments at the point where string 2 is located on the bar is like this:

∑M₂ = 0

M₂ = F*d

Where:

∑M₂  : Algebraic sum of moments in the the point (2) of the bar

M₂ : moment in the point 2 ( N*m)

F  : Force ( N)

d  : Horizontal distance of the force to the point 2 ( N*m

Data

mb = 3 kg : mass of the  bar

mm = 1.5 kg :  mass of the  monkey

L = 3m : lengt of the bar

g = 9.8 m/s²: acceleration due to gravity

Forces acting on the bar

T₁ : Tension in string 1 (vertical upward)

T₂ : Tension in string 2 (vertical upward)

Wb :Weihgt of the bar (vertical downward)

Wm: Weihgt of the monkey  (vertical downward)

Calculation of the weight of the bar (Wb) and of the monkey(Wm)

Wb = m*g = 3 kg*9.8 m/s² = 29.4 N

Wm = m*g = 1.5 kg*9.8 m/s² = 14.7 N

Calculation of the distances  from forces the point 2

d₁₂ = (3-0.6) m = 2.4m  : Distance from T1 to the point 2

db₂ = (3÷2) m = 1.5 m : Distance from Wb to the point 2

dm₂ = (3÷2) m = 1.5 m : Distance from Wm to the point 2

Equilibrium  of moments at the point  2 on the bar

∑M₂ = 0

T₁(d₁₂) - Wb(db₂) - Wm(dm₂) = 0

T₁(2.4) -3*(1.5) - 1.5*(1.5) = 0

T₁(2.4) =3*(1.5) + 1.5*(1.5)

T₁(2.4) =6.75

T₁ = 6.75 / (2.4)

T₁ = 2.8125 N

Answer:

2.77 * 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

Let us recall that kinetic energy is given by 1/2 mv^2

Where;

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

In this case,

m = 3.38 * 10^31 kg

KE= 1.30 * 10^42 J

KE = 1/2 mv^2

v = √2KE/m

v = √2 * 1.30 * 10^42/3.38 * 10^31

v = √7.69 * 10^10

v = 2.77 * 10^5 m/s

HEYYYY!! PLEASE HELP!!! Describe three machines that humans have designed and explain how the mechanical advantage is used.!!
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Three machines that humans have created are the lever, the wheel, and the axle, and also a pulley. even though there's actually more. A lever is A rigid bar that is free to move around a fixed point, such as a screwdriver. The wheel and axle, everyone should know what that is and what it does, it lifts heavy objects, moves people quickly, and moves parts of a complex machine. Pulleys are used to lift things, pulleys can be used singly or with many pulleys working together in order to transport people or things. They can also be used to provide power from one shaft to another. ... Construction pulleys are used in order to lift and place heavy materials.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The median year built is greater than the mean year built., The median year built is between 1980 and 2000."

Explanation:

Wake country is located in the north Carolina, it is the most fastest growing country among the united nations. The town of Cary and also city of Raleigh is the 8th and the 15th fastest growing cities. Hence, the city was growing along with infrastructures as well as with the population. For proper shelter more number of the homes were built. The literacy rates were also good. A quite good number of schools and colleges are there in the city. With better medical facilities.

Intro to Springs and Hooke’s law
wel
A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.
Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.
There is nothing particularly magical about the shape of a coil spring that makes it behave like a spring. The 'springiness', or more correctly, the elasticity is a fundamental property of the wire that the spring is made from. A long straight metal wire also has the ability to ‘spring back’ following a stretching or twisting action. Winding the wire into a spring just allows us to exploit the properties of a long piece of wire in a small space. This is much more convenient for building mechanical devices.
