in the ropes (in N) for each case. Note that: θ1 = 38.0°, θ2 = 52.0°, θ3 = 61.0°, m1 = 3.00 kg, and m2 = 6.00 kg.
(a)
T1 = ___N
T2 = ___N

The elevator may be moving, but if it is moving at a constant velocity, then the observer viewing the mass-rope system is in an inertial reference frame (non-accelerating) and Newton's laws of motion will apply in this reference frame.

A) Choose the point where the ropes intersect (the black dot above m₁) and set up equations of static equilibrium where the forces are acting on that point:

We'll assume that, because rope 3 is oriented vertically, T₃ also acts vertically.

Sum up the vertical components of the forces acting on the point. We will assign upward acting components as positive and downward acting components as negative.

∑Fy = 0

Eq 1: T₁sin(θ₁) + T₂sin(θ₂) - T₃ = 0

Sum up the horizontal components of the forces acting on the point. We will assign rightward acting components as positive and leftward acting components as negative.

∑Fx = 0

Eq 2: T₂cos(θ₂) - T₁cos(θ₁) = 0

T₃ is caused by the force of gravity acting on m₁ which is very easy to calculate:

T₃ = m₁g

m₁ = 3.00kg

g is the acceleration due to earth's gravity, 9.81m/s²

T₃ = 3.00×9.81

T₃ = 29.4N

Plug in known values into Eq. 1 and Eq. 2:

Eq. 1: T₁sin(38.0) + T₂sin(52.0) - 29.4 = 0

Eq. 2: T₂cos(52.0) - T₁cos(38.0) = 0

We can solve for T₁ and T₂ by use of substitution. First let us rearrange and simplify Eq. 2 like so:

T₂cos(52.0) = T₁cos(38.0)

T₂ = T₁cos(38.0)/cos(52.0)

T₂ = 1.28T₁

Now that we have T₂ isolated, we can substitute T₂ in Eq. 1 with 1.28T₁:

T₁sin(38.0) + 1.28T₁sin(52.0) - 29.4 = 0

Rearrange and simplify, and solve for T₁:

T₁(sin(38.0) + 1.28sin(52.0)) = 29.4

1.62T₁ = 29.4

T₁ = 18.1N

Recall from our previous work:

T₂ = 1.28T₁

Plug in T₁ = 18.1N and solve for T₂:

T₂ = 1.28×18.1

T₂ = 23.2N

B) We'll assume that, because rope 2 is horizontally oriented, T₂ also acts horizontally.

Again, choose the point where the ropes intersect and write equations of static equilibrium involving the forces acting at that point:

Sum up the vertical components of the forces

∑Fy = 0

Eq. 3: T₁sin(θ₃) - T₃ = 0

Sum up the horizontal components of the forces

∑Fx = 0

Eq. 4: T₂ - T₁cos(θ₃) = 0

Right away we can solve for T₃, which is the force of gravity acting on m₂:

T₃ = m₂g, m₂ = 6.00kg, g = 9.81m/s²

T₃ = 6.00×9.81

T₃ = 58.9N

Plug in known values into Eq. 3:

T₁sin(61.0) - 58.9 = 0

We can solve for T₁ now that is is the only unknown value in this equation

0.875T₁ = 58.9

T₁ = 67.3N

Plug in known values into Eq. 4:

T₂ - 67.3cos(61.0) = 0

We can solve for T₂ now that it is the only unknown value in this equation

T₂ = 67.3cos(61.0)

T₂ = 32.6N

Colt1911 [192]

This question is incomplete, the complete question;

The L-ft ladder has a uniform weight of W lb and rests against the smooth wall at B. θ = 60. If the coefficient of static friction at A is μ = 0.4.

Determine the magnitude of force at point A and determine if the ladder will slip. given the following; L = 10 FT, W = 76 lb

Answer:

- the magnitude of force at point A is 79.1033 lb

- since FA < FA_max; Ladder WILL NOT slip

Explanation:

Given that;

∑'MA = 0

⇒ NB [Lsin∅] - W[L/2.cos∅] = 0

NB = W / 2tan∅ -------let this be equation 1

∑Fx = 0

⇒ FA - NB = 0

FA = NB

therefore from equation 1

FA = NB = W / 2tan∅

we substitute in our values

FA = NB = 76 / 2tan(60°) = 21.9393 lb

Now ∑Fy = 0

NA - W = 0

NA = W = 76 lb

Net force at A will be

FA' = √( NA² + FA²)

= √( (W)² + (W / 2tan∅)²)

we substitute in our values

FA' = √( (76)² + (21.9393)²)

= √( 5776 + 481.3328)

= √ 6257.3328

FA' = 79.1033 lb

Therefore the magnitude of force at point A is 79.1033 lb

Now maximum possible frictional force at A

FA_max = μ × NA

so, FA_max = 0.4 × 76

FA_max = 30.4 lb

So by comparing, we can easily see that the actual friction force required for keeping the the ladder stationary i.e (FA) is less than the maximum possible friction available at point A.

Therefore since FA < FA_max; Ladder WILL NOT slip

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend
Viefleur [7K]

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s

Answer:

acceleration = v-u /t

30- 20/5

= 10/5 = 2m/sec²

Force = mass * acceleration

What Is meant By MA of a machine is 2?​
stich3 [128]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

The Mechanical Advantage (MA) is defined as the ratio between the force produced by the machine to the force applied to it.

=============================================================

So,

⇒ \frac{F(out)}{F(in)} = 2

⇒ This means that the force produced is twice the applied force
