Two forces P and Q act on an object of mass 7.00 kg with Q being the larger of the two forces. When both forces are directed to

the left, the magnitude of the acceleration of the object is 1.30 m/s2. However, when the force P is directed to the left and the force Q is directed to the right, the object has an acceleration of 0.600 m/s2 to the right. Find the magnitudes of the two forces P and Q in newtons.

Answer:

P = 2.45 N

Q = 6.65 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law:

Unbalanced Force = ma

where,

m = mass = 7 kg

a = acceleration

In the first case when both forces P and Q act on left side:

Unbalanced Force = P + Q

a = 1.3 m/s²

Therefore,

P + Q = (7 kg)(1.3 m/s²)

P + Q = 9.1 N   ------------------------- equation 1

Now, in second case when both forces have different directions:

Unbalanced Force = Greater Force - Smaller Force

Unbalanced Force = Q - P

a = 0.6 m/s²

Therefore,

Q - P = (7 kg)(0.6 m/s²)

Q - P = 4.2 N   ------------------- equation 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, we get:

(Q + P) + (Q - P) = 9.1 N + 4.2 N

2 Q = 13.3 N

<u>Q = 6.65 N</u>

Using this value in equation 2, we get:

6.65 N - P = 4.2 N

<u>P = 2.45 N</u>

Amazon rectangular bar of low carbon steel A-36 is exposed to an axial strees of 150 MPa. What is the original length of the bar
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

1.8m

Explanation:

Let the Elastics of the steel ASTM-36 E = 200000 MPa

The strain of the bar when subjected to 150 MPa is

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{150}{200000} = 0.00075

Therefore, if the bar elongates by 1.35 mm, then the original length L would be:

\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L}

L = \frac{\Delta L}{\epsilon} = \frac{1.35}{0.00075} = 1800 mm or 1.8m
