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

Greetings !

Given values

$u= 4ms \\ a = 0.21ms {}^{2} \\ t = 3.8sec$

Solve for V of the given expression

Firstly, recall the velocity-time equation

$v = u + at$

plug in known values to the equation

$v = (4) + (0.21)(3.8)$

solve for final velocity

$v = 4.792ms$

Hope it helps!

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \ \times \ \ \ \ 1 \ lbf\ }$

$m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm$

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.
