Two climbers are on a mountain. Simon, of mass m, is sitting on a snow covered slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.

The coefficient of static friction between his body and the snow is μ. He is tied into one end of a massless rope that runs over a frictionless pulley. Joe, of mass M, is at the other end of the rope. He has fallen and is hanging motionless below an overhang. Derive an expression for the maximum value of Joe’s mass M so that Simon is not pulled down the slope, in terms of relevant system parameters.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is required that the weight of Joe must prevent Simon from being pulled down . That means he is not slipping down but tends to be towed down . So in equilibrium , force of friction will act in upward direction on Simon.

Let in equilibrium , tension in rope be T

For balancing Joe

T = M g

For balancing Simon

friction + T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+Mg = mgsinθ

M = (msinθ - μmcosθ)

M = m(sinθ - μcosθ)

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of
Marat540 [252]

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no

Transform boundaries are classified under which type of fault?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Strike-slip fault

Explanation:

Transform boundaries play the role of connecting the other plate boundary segments.

When the plates are rubbed against each other, they result in enormous amount of stresses which leads to the breaking of the part of a rock causing earthquakes. Places of occurrence of these breaks are termed as faults.

Strike slip faults results from compression which takes place horizontally, but but in this the rock displacement  releases energy and takes place in a horizontal direction which is parallel to the force of compression.

A person with mass mp = 76 kg stands on a spinning platform disk with a radius of R = 1.98 m and mass md = 191 kg. The disk is i
nalin [4]
<span>1.7 rad/s The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.</span>
