The 68-kg crate is stationary when the force P is applied. Determine the resulting acceleration of the crate if (a) P = 0, (b) P
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Mass of the crate, m = 68 kg

We need to find the resulting acceleration if :

(a) Force, P = 0

P = m a

⇒ a = 0

(b) P = 181 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{181\ N}{68\ kg}

a=2.67\ m/s^2

(c) P = 352 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{352\ N}{68\ kg}

a=5.17\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Does Pepsi have more carbonation than coke
horsena [70]
Coke has more fizz than Pepsi, because Coke has more carbonation in it. Pepsi contains more sugar (2 more tablespoons) than Coke, so it tastes slightly sweeter to many people.

an elevator mass of 7700 kg falls from a height of 32 m after a sudden failure in the hoisting cable. The mass is stopped by a s
valkas [14]

Answer:k=28.29 kN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass m =7700 kg

height from which Elevator falls h=32 m

Let x be the compression in the spring

thus From conservation of Energy Potential energy will convert in to Elastic Potential Energy of spring

\frac{kx^2}{2}=mg(h+x)----------1

also maximum acceleration is 5g

thus

mg-kx=ma

here a=-5g

kx=mg-m(-5g)=6mg

x=\frac{6mg}{k}

Substitute x in equation 1

0.5\times k\times (\frac{6mg}{k})^2=mg(h+\frac{6mg}{k})

18\frac{(mg)^2}{k}=mgh+6\frac{(mg)^2}{k}

k=12\cdot \frac{mg}{h}

k=12\times \frac{7700\times 9.8}{32}

k=28.29 kN/m
