A scaffold of mass 60 kg and length 5.0 m is supported in a horizontal position by a vertical cable at each end. Its center of g

ravity is at the middle of the scaffold. A window washer of mass 80 kg stands at a point 1.5 m from one end. What is the tension in (a) the nearer cable and (b) the farther cable

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

Suppose A=BnCm, where A has dimensions LT, B has dimensions L2T-1, and C has dimensions LT2. Then the exponents n and m have the
julsineya [31]

Explanation:

The expression is :

A=B^nC^m

A =[LT], B=[L²T⁻¹], C=[LT²]

Using dimensional of A, B and C in above formula. So,

A=B^nC^m\\\\\ [LT]=[L^2T^{-1}]^n[LT^2}]^m\\\\\ [LT]=L^{2n}T^{-n}L^mT^{2m}\\\\\ [LT]=L^{2n+m}T^{2m-n}

Comparing the powers both sides,

2n+m=1 ...(1)

2m-n=1 ...(2)

Now, solving equation (1) and (2) we get :

n=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\\m=\dfrac{3}{5}

Hence, the correct option is (E).

trapecia [35]

Answer:

we can say that with a smaller magnitude , the field will point is in same direction

Explanation:

we have given that

solenoid is filled with a diamagnetic material and with air, magnetic field pointing along its axis in the positive x direction

so in small magnitude, the field will point is in same direction
