A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of

75 kg, acting through point G. The ramp is inclined at 20º, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.3 between the refrigerator and the ramp.
(a) Find the force P required to move the refrigerator.
(b) Does the refrigerator tip or slide?

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.

Block A is also connected to a horizontally-mounted spring with a spring constant of 281 J/m2. What is the angular frequency (in
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the formula to be used here is

ω = 2π/T

Where ω is the angular frequency (in rad/s)

T is the period - the time taken for Block A to complete one oscillation and return to it's original position.

To solve for this period T, the formula below should be used

T = 2π√m/k

where m is the mass of the object (Block A) and k is the spring constant (281 J/m²)

All else equal, the payback period for a project will decrease whenever the_______.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

(B) cash inflows are moved earlier in time.

Explanation:

The payback period stated time-frame during which the initial amount of investment should be recovered. It is expressed in the year form

The formula to compute the payback period is shown below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

where,  

The net cash flow = annual net operating income + depreciation expenses

The payback period of the project decreases when the accumulated starting year cash flows increases that results the movement of the cash inflows earlier in time
