In a butcher shop, a horizontal steel bar of mass 4.94 kg and length 1.46 m is supported by two vertical wires attached to its e

nds. The butcher hangs a sausage of mass 2.49 kg from a hook that is at a distance of 0.10 m from the left end of the bar. What is the tension in the right wire?

Answer:

Tension in right wire = 25.9N

Explanation:

I have attached a free body diagram to depict this question.

From the diagram, i have labelled the tensions in the strings T1 and T2.

While i labelled the weight of the bar as Wb and weight of sausage as Ws.

Now, when solving a problem like this we want to first remember that the beam is static; meaning it is not moving. From simple physics, this means that the sum of the forces in the y direction equals zero (i.e. the total downward forces equal the total upward forces)

Thus, from the diagram, the upward forces are T1 and T2 while the downward forces are Ws and Wb.

Thus;

T1 + T2 = Wb + Ws

We know that mass of bar = 4.94kg. Thus, Weight of bar(Wb) = mg = 4.94 x 9.81 = 48.46N

Also, weight of sausage (Ws) = mg = 2.49 x 9.81 = 24.43N

Thus,

T1 + T2 = 48.46N + 24.43

T1 + T2 = 72.89N - - - - - (eq 1)

Now, let's take moments about the left end of the bar.

The maximum weight of the bar will act at the centre, so distance from the Wb to left end = 1.46/2 = 0.73m

So, moments about left end;

T2 x 1.46 = (Wb x 0.73) + (Ws x 0.1)

1.46T2 = (48.46 x 0.73) + (24.43 x 0.1)

1.46T2 = 35.373 + 2.443

1.46T2 = 37.816

T2 = 37.816/1.46 = 25.9N

The lung volume that represents the maximum amount of exchangeable air is the _____
Savatey [412]

The lung volume that represents the maximum amount of exchangeable air is the: <u>vital capacity</u>

<u></u>

The vital capacity is the volume of air that can be taken into the lungs by inhaling and expelling air by inspiration and expiration.

<h3>What are the lungs? </h3>

The lungs are one of the largest organs of the body and are in charge of the respiratory function. They have a spongy appearance and are located in the thorax, protected by the ribs, one on each side of the heart.

An 8.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground
sweet [91]

Answer:

5.7 m

Explanation:

AD = length of the ladder = L = 8 m

AB = distance of the center of mass of the ladder = (0.5) L = (0.5) 8 = 4 m

AC = distance of person on the ladder from the bottom end = x

W = weight of the ladder = 240 N

F_{g} = weight of the person = 710 N

F = force by the wall on the ladder

N = normal force by ground on the ladder = ?

Using equilibrium of force along the vertical direction

N = F_{g} + W

N = 710 + 240

N = 950 N

μ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.55

f =static frictional force on the ladder

Static frictional force is given as

f = μ N

f = (0.55) (950)

f = 522.5 N

Force equation along the horizontal direction is given as

F = f

F = 522.5 N

using equilibrium of torque about point A

F Sin50 (AD) = W Cos50 (AB) + (F_{g} Cos50 (AC))

(522.5) Sin50 (8) = (240) Cos50 (4) + (710) Cos50 (x)

x = 5.7 m
