Answer:

A.  x = 5 (Equation below)

B. AC = 9 | BD = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Since we know the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, we know that the two bottom parts of the diagonal BD (2x - 8 and x - 4) are congruent to the diagonal AC (x + 2) . This means you can just equal them together and get the value of x:

2x - 8 + x - 4 = x + 2

3x - 12 = x + 2

3x = x + 14

2x = 14

x = 7

B. Just plug in 5 for x:

AC = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

BD = 2x - 8 + x -4 = 3x - 12 = 21 - 12 = 9

A body and tackle with a velocity ratio of 5 is used to raise a mass of 50kg through a vertical distance of 20n at a steady rate
matrenka [14]

a. Distance moved by effort = 1 meter

b. Work done by effort = 80 Joules

c. Losses in energy = 18 Joules

<h3>How to determine the parameters</h3>

a. Note that velocity ratio is defined as the ratio of a distance through which any part of a machine moves to the distance moved by its parts

Velocity ratio = distance moved by the effort/distance moved by the body

Where velocity ratio = 5

vertical distance = 20cm

Distance moved by effort = 5 × 0. 20 = 1 meter

b. Formula for work done is given as ;

Work done = Effort × distance moved by effort

Work done = 80 × 1

Work done = 80 Newtons

c. First, let's find the work output

Work output = m g h

Work output = 50 × 9.8 × 0. 20

Work output = 98 Joules

Losses in energy = Work output - work done

Losses in energy = 98 - 80

Losses in energy = 18 Joules
