<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.
4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>
Answer:
+131Joules
Explanation:
Energy can be expressed using below expresion.
ΔE = (q + w).........eqn(1)
q will be + be if heat is gained hence, q= 240 J
work "w" will be - ve if work is done by the system, hence w= -109 J
Then substitute into eqn(1)
Change in Internal energy=
= (240 -109 )
= +131J
-- If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,
then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.
-- 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds
-- Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = <u>740.74 watts</u>
Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower. (0.99295... of 746 watts)
<h3>Question:</h3>
•What is the all time speed record for completing the iditarod?
Answer:
•In 2016, Dallas broke his own record, finishing in 8 days, 11 hours, 20 minutes and 16 seconds. In 2017, Mitch Seavey broke all previous records by finishing in 8 days, 3 hours, 40 minutes and 13 seconds, which currently stands as the fastest winning time for the Iditarod.
