A wooden beam with a mass of 10.8 kg is supported by vertical supports

Physics
1 answer:
blondinia [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Force from the support closest = 79.8 N

Force from the support furthest = 61.9 N

Explanation:

Let's say the length of the beam is L.  Let's say A is the near end of the beam and B is the far end of the beam.

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces on the beam:

Reaction force Ra at the near end (0),

Reaction force Rb at the far end (L),

Weight force of the beam Mg at the center (L/2),

Weight force of the book mg at L/4 from A.

Sum of torques at A:

∑τ = Iα

Rb (L) − Mg (L/2) − mg (L/4) = 0

Rb (L) = Mg (L/2) + mg (L/4)

Rb = ½ Mg + ¼ mg

Rb = (½ M + ¼ m) g

Rb = (½ (10.8 kg) + ¼ (3.66 kg)) (9.8 m/s²)

Rb = 61.9 N

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Ra + Rb − Mg − mg = 0

Ra = Mg + mg − Rb

Ra = (M + m) g − Rb

Ra = (10.8 kg + 3.66 kg) (9.8 m/s²) − 61.9 N

Ra = 79.8 N

4vir4ik [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance D_{A} beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed v_{A}. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed v_{B}, which is greater than v_{A}.

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

              Part B: x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

x=x_{0}+vt

where

x_{0} is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is D_{A}.

The equation will be:

x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

x_{B}=v_{B}t

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t

v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}

t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}

t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Car B meet with Car A after t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )

x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of distance.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The 5-number summary is

1. Median = 0.93 W/kg

2. Lower quartile = 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile = 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value = 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value = 1.42 W/kg

Explanation:

We are given the measured radiation absorption rates​ (in W/kg) corresponding to 11 cell phones.

1.16 0.85 0.69 0.75 0.95 0.93 1.18 1.17 1.42 0.54 0.57

What is 5-number summary?

A 5-number summary refers to a box plot that basically shows 5 statistical characteristics of a data set.

These statistical characteristics are:    

1. Median

2. Lower quartile

3. Upper quartile  

4. Minimum value  

5. Maximum value  

1. Median:

Arrange the data in ascending order

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

(n+1)/2 gives the median value of the data set.

(11 + 1)/2 = 6th position

Therefore, 0.93 W/kg is the median of the data set.

2. Lower quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the lower quartile of the data set is 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The upper quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the upper quartile of the data set is 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value:

The minimum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the minimum value of the data set is 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value  

The maximum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the maximum value of the data set is 1.42 W/kg

The box plot is illustrated in the attached diagram.
