A neighbor's child wants to go to a neighborhood carnival to experience the wild rides. The neighbor is worried about safety as

one of the rides looks dangerous. and asks for your advice. the ride in question has a 10-lb chair which hangs freely from a 30-ft long chain attached to a pivot on the top of a tall tower. when a child enters the ride, the chain is hanging straight down. the child is then attached to the chair with a seat belt and shoulder harness.
When the ride starts up the chain rotates about the tower and reaches a maximum speed and remains at thta speed. It rotates the tower once every 3 seconds.

When you ask the operator he says that the ride is safe and sits in a stationary chair which creaks but holds the 200 pounds.

Has the operator shown that the ride is safe for a 50 lb child?

Answer:

No, the ride is not safe

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, it is seen that

\sum f_{y} = 0

\tau cos \theta - W = 0................(1)

\sum f_{x} = 0

-ma + \tau sin \theta = 0.......(2)

a = w^{2} r

From the diagram, r = Lsin \theta

a = w^{2} L sin \theta

w = \frac{2\pi }{T}

a = \frac{4\pi ^{2}L sin \theta }{T^{2} }............(3)

Put (3) into (2)

\tau sin \theta = \frac{4\pi ^{2}m L sin \theta }{T^{2} }

\tau  = \frac{4\pi ^{2}m L  }{T^{2} }

w = weight of chair + weight of child = 50 + 10 = 60 lb

g = 32 ft/s²

m = w/g = 60/32 = 1.875

L = 30 ft

T = 3 secs

\tau  = \frac{4\pi ^{2}*1.875*30  }{0.3^{2} }

\tau = 246.74 lbs

since 246.74 lbs > 200 lbs, it is not safe because the stationary chair will creak

Answer:

According to the result obtained, the trip is not safe for a 50 lb child.

Explanation:

The sum of forces in y must be equal to zero:

∑Fy = 0

0 = W + Tcosθ

The sum of forces in x:

∑Fx = m*a = -m*W²*r = -T1sinθ

r = Lsinθ

m*W²*Lsinθ = T1sinθ

m\frac{4\pi ^{2}L }{T^{2} } =T\\\frac{60}{32} \frac{4\pi ^{2} 30}{3^{2} } =T\\T=250lb

Like 250 lb > 200 lb, the answer is no

The rocket's acceleration has components \(a_{x}(t)= \alpha t^{2}\) and \(a_{y}(t)= \beta - \gamma t\), where \(\alpha = 2.50 {\
lbvjy [14]
 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

A seesaw is 4.0m long with a pivot at its midpoint. A boy who weighs 400N sits at a distance of 1.5m from the pivot. His sister
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the seesaw, L = 4.0 m

weight of the boy, W₁ = 400 N

position of the boy from the pivot, d₁ = 1.5 m

weight of her sister, W₂ = 300 N

First, make a sketch of this information given;

                 0---0.5m---------------------Δ--------------------------4m

                         ↓<--------1.5m-------> <---------x--------->↓

                        400 N                                          300N

Apply the principle of moment about the pivot, to determine the value of x;

Sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment

400(1.5) = 300(x)

600 = 300x

x = 600/300

x = 2 cm

Thus, the girl must sit 2 cm from the pivot at the opposite end of the seesaw.
