A bridge is supported by two piers located 14 meters apart. Both the left and right piers provide an upward force on the bridge,

labeled FL and FR respectively. (a) If a 1250 kg car comes to rest at a point 5 meters from the left pier, how much force (in N) will the bridge provide to the left and right piers? (Enter the magnitudes.)

Answer:

4375 N, 7875 N

Explanation:

since the body is equilibrium

total upward force = total downward force

w weight of the bridge = FL + FR

when the car was introduced,

total downward force = total upward force

FL₁ + FR₁ = w + (m × acceleration due to gravity) with w = FL + FR

then FL₁ + FR₁  = FL + FR + Mcg

FL₁ + FR₁  - FL - FR = Mcg

ΔFL + ΔFR = 1250 × 9.8 = 12250 N

taken the left as the pivot point and using the principle of moment

ΔFR × 14 m = 12250 N × 5 m + (ΔFL × 0 m) since the left is the pivot point.

ΔFR = 61250 / 14 = 4375 N

but

ΔFL + ΔFR = 12250 N

ΔFL = 12250 - 4375 = 7875 N

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.
