What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley system that uses 280 N to lift a 320 Kg box 4.0 m in the air?

Physics

SVEN [57.7K]2 years ago
6 0

the force of effort is given as

E = effort force = 280 N


m = mass of box to be lifted = 320 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

force of load due to weight of box is given as

L = force of load = mg

L = 320 x 9.8

L = 3136 N

mechanical advantage for pulley system is the simply the ratio of the effort put in to the load being lifted.

mechanical advantage is given as

MA = load/effort

MA = L/E

MA = 3136/280

MA = 11.2

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1270.64\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \dfrac{mg}{g}

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}

The work done against friction is 1270.64\ \text{J}.
