A uniform bridge 20.0 m long and weighing 400000 N is supported by two pillars located 3.00 m from each end. If a 19600 N car is

parked 8.00 m from one end of the bridge, how much force does each pillar exert?

Answer:

P = 238475 N

Q = 181125

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below,

For the bridge to be at equilibrium,

Sum of upward force = sum of downward force

P+Q = 400000+19600

P+Q = 419600.................. Equation 1

Taking  moment about support A

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anti clockwise moment.

400000(10-3)+19600(8-3) = Q(20-6)

2800000+98000 = 16Q

2898000 = 16Q

Q = 2898000/16

Q = 181125 N.

Substitute the value of Q into equation 1

P+181125 = 419600

P = 419600-181125

P = 238475 N.

Hence, support A exert a force of 238475 N and support B exert a force of 181125 N

Answer:

F1 = 212,600N and F2 = 207,000 N

Explanation:

let; F1 = upward pillar force near the left end of bridge

F2 = upward pillar force near the right end of bridge

WB = bridge weight

WC = car weight

Now, the weight of the bridge and that of the car are acting downwards.

Thus, at translational equilibrium, if we resolve the forces, we'll get;

Σy = 0

Thus, F1 + F2 - WB - WC = 0

We are given the weights of the car and bridge as;

WB = 400000N

WC = 19600N

Thus,we now have ;

F1 + F2 - 400000N - 19600N = 0

F1 + F2 = 400000N + 19600N

F1 + F2 = 419,600N - - - - - (eq1)

let the point where F1 exerts its upward force be the pivot point for system torques.

Now, at rotational equilibrium about F1, we have;

F2•(14) - WC•(5) - WB•(7) = 0

Plugging in values for WC and WB to obtain;

F2•(14) - 19600•(5) - 400000•(7) = 0

14F2 - 98000 - 2800000 = 0

14F2 = 2800000 + 98000

14F2 = 2898000

F2 = 2898000/14

F2 = 207,000 N

Now, let's put this for F2 in eq 1

F1 + 207,000N = 419,600N

Subtract 207,000N from both sides.

F1 = 419,600N - 207,000

F1 = 212,600N

A 2.3 kg particle-like object moves in a plane with velocity components vx = 40 m/s and vy = 75 m/s as it passes through the poi
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(a) \overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}

(b) \overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}

Explanation:

mass, m = 2.3 kg

vx = 40 m/s

vy = 75 m/s

(a) Angular momentum is given by

\overrightarrow{L}=\overrightarrow{r}\times \overrightarrow{p}

Where, p is the linear momentum and r is the position vector about which the angular momentum is calculated.

Here, \overrightarrow{r}=3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}

\overrightarrow{p}=2.3\left ( 40\widehat{i}+75\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{p}= 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j}

So, the angular momentum

\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}

(b) Here, \overrightarrow{r}=(3+2)\widehat{i}+(-4+2)\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{r}=5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}

Suppose a tank filled with water has a liquid column with a height of 10 meters. If the area is 2 square meters (2 m²), what's t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

196000 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 m

Area (A) = 2 m²

Force (F) =.?

Next, we shall determine the pressure in the tank.

This can be obtained as follow:

P = dgh

Where

P is the pressure.

d is the density of the liquid.

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height.

Height (h) = 10 m

Density (d) of water = 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Pressure (P) =...?

P = dgh

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 10

P = 98000 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure acting on the tank is 98000 N/m²

Finally, we shall determine the force of gravity acting on the column of water as follow:

Area (A) = 2 m²

Pressure (P) = 98000 N/m²

Force (F) =.?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F /A

98000 = F/ 2

Cross multiply

F = 98000 × 2

F = 196000 N

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the column of water is 196000 N
