If you lift two loads up one story, how much work do you do compared to lifting just one load up one story?
1 answer:
Answer:a
Explanation:
We have to lift the load two loads up one story, so energy required is
let m be the mass of each load and h is the height of each story
Energy
Here energy gained is the potential energy which depends upon the datum(floor).
For lifting one load up one story
Energy required
thus is half of
So option a is correct

Answer:
F = 233.52 N, θ' = 351.41º
Explanation:
In this exercise we must find the net force applied on the donkey.
For this we use Newton's second law, where we create a reference frame with the horizontal x axis
let's decompose the forces
Jack
= 80.5 N
Jill
cos 45 = F_{2x} / F₂2
sin 45 = F_{2y} / F₂2
F_{2x} = F₂ cos 45
F_{2y} = F₂ sin 45
F_{2x} = 81.7 cos 45 = 57.77 N
F_{2y} = 81.7 sin 45 = 57.77 N
Jane
cos (270 + 45) = F_{3x} / F₃3
sin 315 = F_{3y} / F₃
F_{3x} = 131 cos 315 = 92.63 N
F_{3y} = 131 sin 315 = -92.63 N
the force can be found in each axis
X axis
F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}
F_{x} = 80.5 +57.77 + 92.63
F_{x} = 230.9 N
Axis y
F_{y} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} + F_{3y}
F_{y} = 0 + 57.77 -92.63
F_{y} = -34.86 N
we can give the result in two ways
a) F = (230.9 i ^ - 34.86 j ^) N
b) in the form of module and angle
we use the Pythagorean theorem
F = √(Fₓ² + F_{y}²
F = √(230.9² + 34.86²)
F = 233.52 N
let's use trigonometry for the angle
tan θ =
θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{F_y}{F_x} })
θ = tan⁻¹ (-34.86 / 230.9)
θ = -8.59º
if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x-axis counterclockwise
θ' = 360 -θ
θ‘= 360- 8.59
θ' = 351.41º
