A 4.40-m-long, 500 kg steel uniform beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new

building under construction. A 70 kg construction worker stands at the far end of the beam.
What is the magnitude of the torque about the bolt due to the worker and the weight of the beam?

Answer:

Torque=13798.4 N.m

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of beam m₁=500 kg

Mass of the person m₂=70 kg

length of steel r₁=4.40m

center of gravity of the beam is at r₂=r₁/2 =4.40/2 = 2.20m

To find

Torque

Solution

Torque due to beam own weight

T_{1}=m_{1}gr_{1}\\ T_{1}=500*2.2*9.8\\T_{1}=10780N.m

Torque due to person

T_{2}=m_{2}r_{2}g\\T_{2}=70*(4.40)*(9.8)\\T_{2}=3018.4 N.m

Now for total torque

T_{total}=T_{1}+T_{2}\\T_{total}=10780+3018.4\\T_{total}=13798.4N.m

cestrela7 [59]
<h2>Answer: 0.17</h2>

Explanation:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":  

P=\sigma A T^{4} (1)  

Where:  

P=300J/min=5J/s=5W is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing 1W=\frac{1Joule}{second}=1\frac{J}{s}

\sigma=5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}} is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.  

A=5cm^{2}=0.0005m^{2} is the Surface area of the body  

T=727\°C=1000.15K is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.

However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close.  So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:

P=\sigma A \epsilon T^{4} (2)  

Where \epsilon is the body's emissivity

(the value we want to find)

Isolating \epsilon from (2):

\epsilon=\frac{P}{\sigma A T^{4}} (3)  

Solving:

\epsilon=\frac{5W}{(5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}})(0.0005m^{2})(1000.15K)^{4}} (4)  

Finally:

\epsilon=0.17 (5)  This is the body's emissivity

kumpel [21]

Answer:

λ = 596 nm.

Explanation:

Fringe width = λ D / d

λ is wave length , D is screen distance and d is slit separation.

Putting the values

1.62 x 10⁻² =(  λ x 5.3 ) / .195 x 10⁻³

\lambda=\frac{1.62\times10^{-2}\times195\times10^{-6}}{5.3}

λ = 596 nm.
