A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a

distance of 1.20 m away from the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor is 0.200. How far up the ladder, measured along the ladder, can a 600-N person climb before the ladder begins to slip

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m

suppose 384g of steam originally at 100C is quickly cooled to produce liquid water at 31C. How much heat must be removed from th
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Q=977216.256\ J=977.216\ kJ

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of  steam, m=384\ g
  • temperature of steam, T_{is}=100^{\circ}C
  • temperature of resultant water, T_{fw}=31^{\circ}C

We have,

  • latent heat of vapourization of water, L=2256\ J.g^{-1}
  • specific heat capacity of water, c=4.186\ J.g^{-1}

<em>When we cool the steam of 100°C then firstly it loses its latent heat to convert into water of 100°C and the further cools the water.</em>

<u>Now the heat removed from steam to achieve the final state of water:</u>

\rm Q=latent\ heat\ of\ vapourization+sensible\ heat\ of\ water

Q=m(L+c.\Delta T)

Q=384(2256+4.186\times (100-31))

Q=977216.256\ J=977.216\ kJ

Olenka [21]

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

  • In absence of friction, total mechanical energy must be conserved.
  • This means that the change in gravitational potential energy (in magnitude) must be equal to the change in kinetic energy:

       \Delta K = \Delta U \\ \\  \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2}  = m*g*h

  • As it can be seen, the mass m is on the both sides of the equation, which means that it can be simplified.
  • We can solve this equation for v (speed at the bottom) as follows:

        v = \sqrt{2*g*h}

  • As it can be seen, the mass has no part in the equation, so, due both are starting from the same height, both people have the same speed at the bottom.
  • The option c is the right one.
