If a person and wheelchair have a combined weight of 185 lb, how much ideal effort

Physics
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Effort force=824.04 \sin\theta

where \theta is the angle of inclination of the ramp.

Explanation:

The given combined mass of a person and wheelchair is 185 lb.

In SI unit, 1 pound= 0.453592 kg

So, 185 lb=185\times0.453592 kg=84kg (approximately)

Assuming the whole mass as a point mass and denote it by M, so

M=84kg

Let the angle of inclination of the ram with the is \theta with respect to the ground and assume that the friction offered by ram id negligible, so neglection the frictional force.

The applied effort force, F, will be minimum when applied in the direction parallel to the ramp surface as shown in the figure.

The gravitational force action on M is Mg in the downward direction.

For the mass M to be at an equilibrium condition on the ramp, the sum of the total force in any direction will be zero.

Equate the sum of all the forces in the direction parallel to the ramp to zero.

F-Mg\sin\theta=0

\Rightarrow F=Mg \sin\theta

\Rightarrow F=84\times 9.81\sin\theta

\Rightarrow F=824.04\sin\theta N.

A 32-n force acts on a small mass in the positive x-direction. a 26-n force also acts on it in the negative x-direction. what is
motikmotik

Equilibrium force is the force that will keep the small mass in place, hence no movement must be made. So we know that 32 N of force is acted towards the positive direction so +32 N. Which is counteracted by 26 N force so:

32 N – 26 N = 6 N (positive)

Since positive 6 is left, therefore this must be acted by an equilibrant negative 6 N.

Why do tin roofs make creaking sounds on hot days?
laiz [17]

Answer: Yes, on many slate-roofed homes as temperatures change, such as cooling at night or heating during the day, thermal expansion or contraction of the slates may cause movement that in turn causes snapping, popping, or cracking noises, even bangs and clanks or clicks from the roof.

This question is related to inertia:
luda_lava [24]
The way I do it is suddenly, in the same sort of way that magicians try to pull a table cloth off a table when there's things on the table cloth.The sudden approach acts as an impulse of force and starts to accelerate the roll. But, the piece (assuming it has perforations) is off the roll before the roll can move, due to inertia. Then the roll will acclerate, move, slow down and stop. However, in accelerating, the roll will unravel. The bigger the impulse the more it will unravel.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If on the other hand, the piece of paper is held firmly, and the roll is pulled, then the impulse is presumably given to the paper and the hand whose inertia is a lot more than that of the roll. So, I think I'd actually go for choice c)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This assumes that the roll is free to rotate.I think that a similar idea is behind the design and use of a "ballistic galvanometer". The charge is passed through the galvanometer quickly, as a current pulse. Then the needle starts to deflect, and the deflection is arranged to depend on the total charge that has passed through in the time of the current pulse.

An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}

\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) According to Bragg's law,

n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta

n = 1

For nickel, d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=0.010^{\circ}

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.

A 4kg brick is dropped from the top of a building whose hight is 30m.what is the velocity with which it reaches the ground​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

=24.25 ^−1

Explanation:

Let   and   be initial and final velocity of the body respectively,  

be acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8^−2 ),  ℎ be the height of the body.

=0 ^ −1

ℎ=30

we know that, ^2−^ 2=2ℎ

^2=2∗9.8∗30

^2=588

=24.25 ^−1
