A vaulter holds a 26.90-N pole in equilibrium by exerting an upward force U with her leading hand and a downward force D with he

r trailing hand. Point C is the center of gravity of the pole, a=0.750 m, b=1.31 m, c=2.20 m. What is the magnitudes of U?

Given Information:

Pole weight = w = 26.90 N

Force at point c = Fg

Force at point a = FD

distant between point a and b = 0.750 m

distant between point b and c = 1.31 m

Required Information:

Upward Force at point b = FU = ?  

Answer:

Upward Force at point b = FU = 73.88 N

Explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram,

Fg is the force due to gravity at point c acting downwards,

Fg = w = mg = 26.90 N

Let us take clockwise direction positive and anti-clockwise direction negative then applying the equilibrium condition of torque about point a yields,

ΣM = 0

FU(0.750) - Fg(0.750 + 1.31) = 0

0.750FU - 2.06Fg = 0

0.750FU = 2.06Fg

FU = 2.06Fg/0.750

FU = 2.06(26.90)/0.750

FU = 73.88 N

Bonus:

The other force FD can now be found. Let upward direction of force is positive and downward direction of force is negative.

The the sum of forces acting in the y-axis is given by

ΣFy = 0

-FD + FU - Fg = 0

Where FD is the force at point a acting downwards, FU is the force at point b acting upwards, and Fg is the force due to gravity at point c acting downwards.

-FD + FU - 26.90 = 0

FD = FU - 26.90

FD = 73.88 - 26.90

FD = 46.98 N

Answer:

Check attachment for better understanding

Explanation:

Given that

a= 0.75m

b=1.31m

c= 2.2m

Weight of pole is 26.90

Then, Fg = Weight = 26.90

Using Equilibrium of forces

ΣFy = 0

U — D — Fg = 0

U — D = Fg

U — D = 26.9

To calculate U,

We will take moment about point A.

ΣMa = 0

Let the clockwise moment be positive and anti-clockwise be negative

Fg(a+b) — U(a) = 0

26.9(1.31+0.75) —0.75U = 0

26.9(2.06) = 0.75U

0.75U = 55.414

U = 55.414/0.75

U = 73.89 N

To calculate D,

U — D = 26.9

73.89—D =26.9

73.89—26.9 = D

D = 46.99N

Rufina [12.5K]

Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Mg or your weight.

Explanation:

When your velocity is constant, the net force acting on you is 0. That means the upwards force of air resistance must fully balance the downwards force of gravity on you, which is Mg.
