Answer:

19.48 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

Current weight = 539 N

Weight = mg = 539 N

Mass x Acceleration = 539 N

Mass x 9.81 = 539

Mass = 54.94 kg

Gravitational potential energy = mgh = 10500 J

54.94 x 9.81 x h = 10500

h = 19.48 m

Height of sitting = 19.48 m

1.)Two objects, one of m=20,000 kg, and another of 12,500 kg, are placed at a distance of 5 meters apart. What is the force of g

Delvig [45]

1) $6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N$

The force of gravitation between the two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} kg^{-1} m^{3} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1 = 20,000 kg is the mass of the first object

m2 = 12,500 kg is the mass of the second object

r = 5 m is the distance between the two objects

Substituting the numbers inside the equation, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(20,000 kg)(12,500 kg)}{(5 m)^2}=6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N$

2) $2.7\cdot 10^{-3} N$

From the formula in exercise 1), we see that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

$F \sim \frac{1}{r^2}$

this means that if we cut in a half the distance without changing the masses, the magnitude of the forces changes by a factor

$F'\sim \frac{1}{(r/2)^2}=4 \frac{1}{r^2}=4F$

So, the gravitational force increases by a factor 4. Therefore, the new force will be

$F' = 4 F=4(6.67\cdot 10^{-4} N)=2.7\cdot 10^{-3} N$

3) 12.5 Nm

The torque is equal to the product between the magnitude of the perpendicular force and the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation:

$\tau=Fd$

Where, in this case:

F = 25 N is the perpendicular force

d = 0.5 m is the distance between the force and the center

By using the equation, we find

$\tau=(25 N)(0.5 m)=12.5 Nm$

4) 0.049 kg m^2/s

The relationship between angular momentum (L), moment of inertia (I) and angular velocity ( $\omega$ ) is:

$L=I\omega$

In this problem, we have

$I=0.007875 kgm^2$

$\omega=6.28 rad/s$

So, the angular momentum is

$L=I\omega=(0.007875 kgm^2)(6.28 rad/s)=0.049 kg m^2/s$

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The direction angle θ of the resultant in the Polar (positive) specification is then θ = α + 60°. The Law of Cosines is used to calculate the magnitude (r) and the Law of Sines is used to calculate the angle (α).
