A man ties one end of a strong rope 8.17 m long to the bumper of his truck, 0.524 m from the ground, and the other end to a vert
ical tree trunk at a height of 2.99 m. He uses the truck to create a tension of 8.57 102 N in the rope. Compute the magnitude of the torque on the tree due to the tension in the rope, with the base of the tree acting as the reference point.
1 answer:
Answer:
2442.5 Nm
Explanation:
Tension, T = 8.57 x 10^2 N
length of rope, l = 8.17 m
y = 0.524 m
h = 2.99 m
According to diagram
Sin θ = (2.99 - 0.524) / 8.17
Sin θ = 0.3018
θ = 17.6°
So, torque about the base of the tree is
Torque = T x Cos θ x 2.99
Torque = 8.57 x 100 x Cos 17.6° x 2.99
Torque = 2442.5 Nm
thus, the torque is 2442.5 Nm.

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:
5,4x10³ 5400
h = sec / 3600
h = 5400 s / 3600
h = 1,5
Let's recabe information:
d (Distance) = 386 km
t (Time) = 1,5 h
v (Velocity) = ?
For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:
Reeplace according we information:
386 km = v * 1,5 h
v = 386 km / 1,5 h
v = 257,33 km/h
The velocity of the train is of <u>257,33 kilometers for hour.</u>

Extra:
For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:
m/s = km/h / 3,6
Let's reeplace:
m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6
m/s = 71,48
¿Good Luck?
