A 4.5-kg, three legged stool supports a 89-kg person. If each leg of the stool has a cross-sectional diameter of 2.8 cm and the

weight of the person is evenly distributed, determine the pressure exerted on the floor by each leg.

Answer:

4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

F = mg

F = (m_{person}+m_{stool})g\\\\F =  (4.5 + 89)*9.8\\\\F = 916.3 N

This force is evenly distributed on the three leg

radius, r = d/2

= 2.8 / 2

= 1.4 cm = 0.014 m

total cross sectional area of the three legs, A = 3*pi*r^2

= 3\times\pi \times0.014^2\\\\= 1.847\times10^-^3m^2

Pressure due to weight,

P = Weight/A

P = / 1.847 × 10⁻³\\P = \frac{ 916.3N}{1.847\times10^-^3} \\\\P= 496032.9Pa

P = 4.96 × 10⁵ Pa

Convert time from 12-hour to 24-hour clock. ​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

4:28

Explanation:

4:28am

a 12 hour clock continues going up after 12 (1:00pm=13:00). minutes stay the same. 12:00pm=00:00. this shows 4:28am, so you count 4 after 00:00.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 90.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Vertical distance=  3.3803ft

Explanation:

First with the speed of the ball and the distance traveled horizontally we can determine the flight time to reach the plate:

Velocity= (90 mi/h) × (1 mile/5280ft) = 475200ft/h

Distance= Velocity × time⇒ time= 60.5ft / (475200ft/h) = 0.00012731h

time=  0.00012731h × (3600s/h)= 0.458316s

With this time we can determine the distance traveled vertically taking into account that its initial vertical velocity is zero and its acceleration is that of gravity, 9.81m/s²:

Vertical distance= (1/2) × 9.81 (m/s²) × (0.458316s)²=1.0303m

Vertical distance= 1.0303m × (1ft/0.3048m) = 3.3803ft

This is the vertical distance traveled by the ball from the time it is thrown by the pitcher until it reaches the plate, regardless of air resistance.
