A trough is filled with a liquid of density 810 kg/m3. The ends of the trough are equilateral triangles with sides 8 m long and

vertex at the bottom. Find the hydrostatic force on one end of the trough. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

Answer:

The hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

Explanation:

Given;

liquid density, ρ = 810 kg/m³

side of the equilateral triangle, L = 8m

acceleration due to gravity, g =  9.8 m/s²

Hydrostatic force is given as;

H = ρgh

where;

h is the vertical height of the equilateral triangle

Draw a line to bisect upper end of the trough, to the vertex at the bottom, this line is the height of the equilateral triangle.

let the half side of the triangle = x

x = ⁸/₂ = 4m

The half section of the triangle forms a right angled triangle

h² = 8² - 4²

h² = 48

h = √48

h = 6.928m

F = ρgh

F = 810 x 9.8 x 6.928

F = 54994.464 N

Therefore, the hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 84.0 cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

v = 2.029 m/s

Explanation:

Given

L = 84.0 cm   ⇒  R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m

m₁ = 0.600 kg

m₂ = 0.200 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = ?

Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).

In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.

then

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J

Ef = Kf + Uf

⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²

⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464

⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464

Since

0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464  ⇒  v = 2.029 m/s

v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.

v₁ = v₂ = v    ⇒  ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂  ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R  ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω

⇒ v = ω*R

How do you do this question? Please include free body diagrams and clear explanation, so I can understand.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each disc.

Disc A has three forces acting on it: 86.5 N up, T₁ down, and Wa down.

∑F = ma

86.5 N − T₁ − Wa = 0

Wa = 86.5 N − T₁

ma × 9.8 m/s² = 86.5 N − 55.6 N

ma = 3.2 kg

Disc B has three forces acting on it: T₁ up, T₂ down, and Wb down.

∑F = ma

T₁ − T₂ − Wb = 0

Wb = T₁ − T₂

mb × 9.8 m/s² = 55.6 N − 36.5 N

mb = 1.9 kg

Disc C has three forces acting on it: T₂ up, T₃ down, and Wc down.

∑F = ma

T₂ − T₃ − Wc = 0

Wc = T₂ − T₃

mc × 9.8 m/s² = 36.5 N − 9.6 N

mc = 2.7 kg

Disc D has two forces acting on it: T₃ up and Wd down.

∑F = ma

T₃ − Wd = 0

Wd = T₃

md × 9.8 m/s² = 9.6 N

md = 0.98 kg

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.
