Answer:

a) 842.8 N

b) 529.2 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of scaffold, m = 60 kg

Length of scaffold, l = 5 m

Mass of window washer, m(w) = 80 kg

Distance of the window washer, d = 1.5 m

From the attached image

a = 1.5 m

b = 2.5 m

c = 5 m

W = 60 * 9.8 = 588 N

W(w) = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Since the scaffold is in equilibrium, then

Στ(b) = 0

W * (c - b) + W(w) * (c - a) - Lc = 0

Lc = W * (c - b) + W(w) * (c - a)

L = [W * (c - b) + W(w) * (c - a)] / c

L = [588 * (5 - 2.5) + 784 * (5 - 1.5)] / 5

L = (588 * 2.5 + 784 * 3.5) / 5

L = (1470 + 2744) / 5

L = 4214 / 5

L = 842.8 N

Στ(a) = 0

Rc - W * b - W(w) * a = 0

R = [W * b + W(w) * a] / c

R = (588 * 2.5 + 784 * 1.5) / 5

R = (1470 + 1176) / 5

R = 2646 / 5

R = 529.2 N

Calculate the true mass (in vacuum) of a piece of aluminum whose apparent mass is 4.5000 kgkg when weighed in air. The density o
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The true weight of the aluminium is m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

Explanation:

Given data

m_{app} = 4.5 kg

\rho_{air} = 1.29 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

\rho_{al} = 2.7× 10^{3} \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

The true mass of the aluminium is given by

m_{alu} = \frac{\rho_{alu}m_{app}}{\rho_{alu} -\rho_{air} }

Put all the values in above equation we get

m_{alu} = \frac{(2700)(4.5)}{2700-1.29}

m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

Therefore the true weight of the aluminium is m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. how much time does it ta
Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s
