While pushing a refrigerator up a ramp, there would be less friction to overcome if you used a dolly because of the wheels. So the efficiency of the ramp would be greater with the use of the dolly.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The ramp provides for a wedge setup, so when the refrigerator is being pushed up the ramp, the friction on the ramp would equally distributed to the refrigerator when pushed wholly as the friction applied is a product of the coefficient of friction with the Normal reaction of the weight in contact with the surface.

Therefore, when the dolly is used, the surface in contact becomes divided and thus, the friction applied would become less due to though coefficient of friction remains the same, the normal reaction of the weight becomes small and so does the applied friction. Therefore, efficiency of the ramp increases as the friction is less and work done is more.

A small ball with mass 1.20 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.860 m long and of negligible mass. The system rotates in a horiz
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

0.88752 kgm²

0.02236 Nm

Explanation:

m = Mass of ball = 1.2 kg

L = Length of rod = 0.86 m

\theta = Angle = 90°

Rotational inertia is given by

I=mL^2\\\Rightarrow I=1.2\times 0.86^2\\\Rightarrow I=0.88752\ kgm^2

The rotational inertia is 0.88752 kgm²

Torque is given by

\tau=FLsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \tau=2.6\times 10^{-2}\times 0.86sin90\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.02236\ Nm

The torque is 0.02236 Nm

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at a rate of 151 rev/min is switched off. Assume constant angular decelerat
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial angular velocity ω₀ = 151 x 2π / 60

= 15.8  rad /s

final velocity = 0

Angular deceleration α = 2.23 rad / s

ω² = ω₀² -  2 α θ

0 = 15.8² - 2 x 2.23 θ

= 55.99  rad

one revolution = 2π radian

55.99 radian = 55.99  / 2 π no of terns

= 9 approx .
