A 26.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hinge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal. If

the angle between the beam and the cable is θ = 61.0° what is the vertical component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam?

Answer:

Force exerted by the hinge on the beam = 109.24N

Explanation:

Weight = mg = 26 x 9.81 = 255.06 N

Vertical component = T sin θ

Horizontal component = Tcos θ

Now, there are 3 vertical forces acting on the beam. These are;

- The downward force which is the weight of the beam.

- The vertical components of the tension in the cable.

-The force that hinge exerts on the beam are the upward forces.

Hence, for the beam to remain horizontal, the sum of the upward forces must be equal to the weight of the beam.

For us to determine the vertical component of the tension in the cable, we will do a torque problem. Let the pivot point be at the hinge. Let’s assume that the length of the beam is L. The vertical component of the tension in the cable will produce clockwise torque while the weight of the beam will produce counter clockwise torque.

Tbus;

Clockwise torque = TL sin 61

Since the center of mass of beam is at the middle of the beam, the distance from the hinge to the weight of the beam is L/2.

Counter clockwise torque = WL/2

Thus;

TL sin 61 = WL/2

L will cancel out.

T sin 61 = 255.06/2

T x 0.8746 = 127.53

T = 127.53/0.8746 = 145.82 N

Now, the equation to determine the vertical component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam is given as;

T + F = W

Thus;

145.82 + F = 255.06

F = 255.06 - 145.82 = 109.24 N

What force in Newton is required to accelerate a car starting from rest to 20 m/s in 15 seconds if the mass of the car is 2500 k
Lyrx [107]

We will solve this question using the second law of motion which states that force is directly equal to the product of mass and acceleration.

\sf \: F=ma

Where,

  • F is force
  • m is mass
  • a is acceleration

In our case,

  • F = ?
  • m = 2500 kg
  • a = 20m/s

\tt \: F_{net}  = 2500 \times 20 \\   \tt= 50000

<em>Thus, The force of 50000 Newton is required to accelerate a car of 2500 kg...~</em>

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration (a) consist in two components, <em>radial</em> (a_{r}) and <em>tangential</em> (a_{t}), in meters per square second:

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r (1)

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}} (3)

Where:

r - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

\omega - Angular speed, in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t (4)

Where:

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

If we know that r = 0.1\,m, \alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s} and t = 0.60\,s, then the total linear acceleration is:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t

\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r

a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r

a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}

a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

radio waves,X-rays,

Explanation:

In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave segment of the EM spectrum.

The second-order decomposition of hi has a rate constant of 1.80 x 10−3 m−1 s−1. How much hi remains after 45.6 s if the initial
zlopas [31]

Answer:

2.9 M

Explanation:

The concentration-time equation for a second order reaction is:

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A°]

Where,

A = concentration remaining at time, t

A° = initial concentration

k = rate constant

1/[A] = (1.80 x 10^-3) * (45.6) + 1/3.81

1/[A] = 0.345

= 1/0.345

= 2.9 M.
