A spiral staircase winds up to the top of a tower in an old castle. To measure the height of the tower, a rope is attached to th

e top of the tower and hung down the center of the staircase. However, nothing is available with which to measure the length of the rope. Therefore, at the bottom of the rope a small object is attached so as to form a simple pendulum that just clears the floor. The period of the pendulum is measured to be 5.94 s. What is the height of the tower?

Answer:

8.76762 m

Explanation:

T = Time period = 5.94 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of pendulum = Height of tower

Time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{g}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{5.94^2\times 9.81}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=8.76762\ m

The height of the tower is 8.76762 m

OleMash [197]

Responder:

Fy = 2474,8737

Fx = 2474,8737

Explicación:

Dado que :

Dado:

Fuerza, F = 3500 N

Ángulo formado con la horizontal, θ, = 45 °

Los componentes de una fuerza se pueden descomponer en componentes verticales y horizontales.

El componente vertical Fy; y

El componente horizontal Fx

Fy = Fuerza * sinθ

Fy = 3500 * sin45 °

Fy = 2474,8737

El componente horizontal:

Fx = Fuerza * cosθ

Fy = 3500 * cos45 °

Fy = 2474,8737

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

F=mkv

Explanation:

Given that

v = v_i - kx

We know that acceleration a given as

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

v = v_i - kx

\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{dv_i}{dt}-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}

\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}

We know that

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

F=-mk\dfrac{dx}{dt}

F=-mkv

So the magnitude of force F

F=mkv
