The drawing shows a bicycle wheel resting against a small step whose height is h = 0.110 m. The weight and radius of the wheel a

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$F=27.39N$

Explanation:

Take sum of torques at the point the step touches the wheel, that eliminates two torques

Σ $T=T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}$

Since we are looking for when the wheel just starts to rise up N-> 0 so no torque due to normal force

$T_{N}=0$

The perpendicular lever arm for the F force is R-h

$T_{f}=F*(r-h)$

And the T of gravity according to the image

$T_{W}=W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}$

Σ $T=0$

$T_{N}+T_{f}+T_{W}=0$

$F*(r-h)+W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}=0$

$F=\frac{W*(\sqrt{r^2-(r-h)^2}}{r-h}$

$F=\frac{24.9 N*(\sqrt{0.336^2-(0.336-0.110)^2}}{(0.336-0.11)}$

$F=27.39N$

Two men are standing on a frictionless ice surface holding opposite ends of a rope. One man (mass = 80 kg) pulls on the rope wit

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of man 1 and 2 is $3.125\ m/s^2$ and $4.167\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Mass of man 1, m₁ = 80 kg

Mass of man 2, m₂ = 60 kg

One man pulls on the rope with a force of 250 N.

Let a₁ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₁a₁

$a_1=\dfrac{F}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{250}{80}\\\\a_1=3.125\ m/s^2$

Let a₂ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₂a₂

$a_2=\dfrac{F}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{250}{60}\\\\a_2=4.167\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of man 1 and 2 is $3.125\ m/s^2$ and $4.167\ m/s^2$ .

An auditorium measures 43.0m × 18.0m × 15.0m. The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. What is the volume of the room in cubic feet? (D

frez [133]

The question here would be what is the volume of the room. The density of air that is given has no use. We simply multiply the dimensions given of the room to determine the volume.

<span>43.0m × 18.0m × 15.0m = 11610m^3 ( 3.28 ft / 1 m)^3 = 4.09 x 10^5 ft^3</span>
