Answer:

H=174.168ft

Explanation:

See diagram below.

First, calculate y using sine function:

sin(22)=\frac{y'}{215} \\y'=215sin(22)=80.540ft

Then, calculate x using cosine function:

cos(22)=\frac{x}{215} \\x=215cos(22)=199.345ft

Now use tangent to calculate y:

tan(52)=\frac{y+y'}{x} \\y=x*tan(52)-y'\\y = 174.168ft.

A 1 800-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact
N76 [4]

Answer:

F = 614913.88 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of pile driver; m = 1800 kg

Height of fall of pole driver; h = 4.6 m

Depth driven into beam; d = 13.6 cm = 0.136 m

Now, from energy equations and applying to this question, we can write that;

Workdone = Change in potential energy

Formula for workdone is; W = F × d

While the average potential energy here is; W = mg(h + d)

Thus;

Fd = mg(h + d)

Where F is the average force exerted by the beam on the pile driver while in bringing it to rest.

Making F the subject, we have;

F = mg(h + d)/d

F = 1800 × 9.81 × (4.6 + 0.136)/0.136

F = 614913.88 N
