Answer
given,
weight of the oak board = 600 N
Weight of Joe = 844 N
length of board = 4 m
Joe is standing at 1 m from left side
vertical wire is supporting at the end.
Assuming the system is in equilibrium
T₁ and T₂ be the tension at the ends of the wire
equating all the vertical force
T₁ + T₂ = 600 + 844
T₁ + T₂ = 1444...........(1)
taking moment about T₂
T₁ x 4 - 844 x 3 - 600 x 2 = 0
T₁ x 4 = 3732
T₁ = 933 N
from equation (1)
T₂ = 1444 - 933
T₂ = 511 N
The velocity of the brick is 39.2 m/s downward
Explanation:
The motion of the brick is a free fall motion, since the object is affected only by the force of gravity. Therefore, it has a uniformly accelerated motion towards the ground, with constant acceleration of .
So, we can find its velocity using the suvat equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
For the brick in this problem (taking downward as positive direction)
u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)
Therefore, its velocity after t = 4.0 s is:
Downward, because the sign is positive.
