Given that,
Mass of the stone, m = 400 g = 0.4 kg
Initial speed, u = 20 m/s
It is climbed to a height of 12 m.
To find,
The work done by the resistance force.
Solution,
Let v is the final speed. It can be calculated by using the conservation of energy.
Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. It can be given as follows :
So, the required work done is 32.99 J.
We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.
1) Equilibrium of forces:
where
is the weight of the person
is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
(1)
2) Equilibrium of torques:
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using
and replacing T1 with (1), we find
from which we find
And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
