DiKsa [7]

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force = $\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )$

=360 N

$cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}$

$sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}$

(b)Moment about Ground Point

$740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

$N_1tan\theta =1140$

$N_1=171 N$

$N_1=f=171 N$

(c)

$740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta$

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore $N_1=360 N$

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

$360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5$

740x=2000

x=2.702m

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

specific purpose statement

Explanation:

It is a specific purpose statement made for a persuasive speech on the question of fact.

A specific purpose statement helps to build on the general purpose (that is to inform) and to make it more specific to the audience. So if the first speech is an informative speech, our general purpose is to inform our audience about a very specific realm of knowledge.

A specific purpose statement is given to audience to persuade on specific information.

Saturn has an orbital period of 29.46 years. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the average distance fr

bixtya [17]

For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km

A projectile enters a resisting medium at x = 0 with an initial velocity v0 = 910 ft/s and travels 5 in. before coming to rest.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s

Explanation:

v₀ = 910 ft/s

x = 5 in.

relation v = v₀ - k x

v = 0 as body comes to rest

0 = 900 - 5k/12

k = 2184 s⁻¹

acceleration

$\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

where

(A) a = -k × v

at v= 910 ft/s

a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

(B) at x = 3.9 in.

v = 910 - 3.9(2184)/12

v = 200.2 m/s

$\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{dv}{v} = -kdt$

$\int\limits^{200.2}_{900} {\frac{1}{v} }dv = -k\int\limits^t_0 dt$

$ln(200.2)-ln(900) = -kt$

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s
