Eric has a mass of 80 kg. He is standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.7 m/s2. What is the approx
1 answer:
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Force of Gravity and the Normal Force that act on the body.
The Gravity Force on Eric would be given by
To find the normal Force we must also consider downward acceleration therefore
Since the Normal Force is the Reaction Force the approximate reading on the scale is 650N

Answer:
Total contraction on the Bar = 1.22786 mm
Explanation:
Given that:
Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm
Diameter for aluminum bar = 40 mm
Hole diameter = 30 mm
Hole length = 100 mm
elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²
compressive load P = 180 KN = 180 × 10³ N
Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???
The relation used in calculating the contraction on the bar is:
The relation used in calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :
Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)
i.e
Total contraction on the Bar =
Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole
Area of cross section without the hole is :
Using A = πd²/4
A = π (40)²/4
A = 1256.64 mm²
Area of cross section with the hole is :
A = π (40²-30²)/4
A = 549.78 mm²
Total contraction on the Bar =
Total contraction on the Bar =
Total contraction on the Bar = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)
Total contraction on the Bar = 2.117*(0.58)
Total contraction on the Bar = 1.22786 mm
