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

Use the formula dgh + p atm

d is density g is gravitational field strength h heigh or depth and p atm is atmospheric pressure

1000 x 10 x 20 + 100000 = 300000

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f

trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

$\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s$

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s x 6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s
