Answer:
A. As the ropes are horizontal the child has travelled 2m of vertical displacement from his lowest position.
Gpe @ A=mgh=40*9.81*2=784.8J
B. At 30degree vertical angle the vertical displacement from lowest position is given by
2-2cos(30)=2-1.73=0.27m
Gpe @B= 40*9.81*0.27=106 J
C: at the bottom of circular arc it's Gpe is zero relative to lowest position as bottom of arc itself is lowest position.
Answer:
Moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the platform which is a uniform disk = 129 kg
Radius of the disk rotating about vertical axis = 1.61 m
Mass of the person standing on platform = 65.7 kg
Distance from the center of platform = 1.07 m
Mass of the dog on the platform = 27.3 kg
Distance from center of platform = 1.31 m
We have to calculate the moment of inertia.
Formula:
MOI of disk = 
Moment of inertia of the person and the dog will be mr^2.
Where m and r are different for both the bodies.
So,
Moment of inertia
of the system with respect to the axis yy.
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒
The moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2
Electromagnetic and Gravitational forces are most alike because their range is not limited.
Astrophysics is the answer
