A 9.08 m ladder with a mass of 23.8 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pulls straight upw

ard with a force of 260 N. At the instant the top of the ladder leaves the ground, the ladder experiences an angular acceleration of 1.78 rad/s2 about an axis passing through the bottom end of the ladder. The ladder's center of gravity lies halfway between the top and bottom ends. (a) What is the net torque acting on the ladder? (b) What is the ladder's moment of inertia?

Answer:

1300.80988 Nm

730.79206 kgm²

Explanation:

m = Mass of ladder = 23.8 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of ladder = 9.08 m

F = Applied force = 260 N

\alpha = Angular acceleration = 1.78 rad/s²

I = Moment of inertia

Weight is given by

W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=23.8\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=233.478\ N

The center of gravity of the ladder lies at the center of the ladder

Torque will be

\tau=-W\times \frac{L}{2}+F\times L\\\Rightarrow \tau=-233.478\times \frac{9.08}{2}+260\times 9.08\\\Rightarrow \tau=1300.80988\ Nm

The net torque acting on the ladder is 1300.80988 Nm

Torque is also given by

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{1300.80988}{1.78}\\\Rightarrow I=730.79206\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the ladder is 730.79206 kgm²

Collect information about working of Geyser and prepare a report
ikadub [295]
A geyser is actually a devise that coverts electrical energy into heat energy for heating up water. The heating element that is inside the geyser actually gets heated up and then in turn it heats the water in contact with it within the geyser. There is also a thermostat device within the geyser that cuts off the heating when the water temperature reaches the desired level. This helps in stopping of electrical energy loss. One inlet brings in cold water while another outlet gets rid of the hot water. When the temperature of the water falls below the desired level the heating is again started by the thermostat.

A wire, of length L = 4.1 mm, on a circuit board carries a current of I = 1.96 μA in the j direction. A nearby circuit element g
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 4.1 mm

B_{x}=4.9\ G

B_{y}=2.3\ G

B_{z}=2.4\ G

Current I = 1.96\ mu A

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic field

B=\sqrt{B_{x}^2+B_{y}^2+B_{z}^2}

Put the value into the formula

B=\sqrt{(4.9)^2+(2.3)^2+(2.4)^2}

B=5.921\ T

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

A box is pulled with a horizontal force of 500N and moves 5m what is work done
dalvyx [7]
The answer to the question is shown below:

We all know that formula for solving work done is the force multiplied by distance covered:
Work done = Force x distance
Distance = 5m
Force = 500 N
Work done = 500 N * 5m
Work done = 2500 J
