A. IMA: 4

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) is given by:

IMA = \frac{d_i}{d_o}

where

d_i is the input distance

d_o is the output distance

For the pulley system in this problem, d_i = 3.90 m and d_o = 0.975 m, so the IMA is

IMA=\frac{3.90 m}{0.975 m}=4


B. MA: 3.59

The actual mechanical advantage (AMA), or simply the Mechanical Advantage (MA), is given by

MA=\frac{F_o}{F_i}

where F_o is the output force and F_i is the input force. For the pulley system in this problem, F_i = 375 N and F_o = 1345 N, so the MA is

MA=\frac{1345 N}{375 N}=3.59


C. Efficiency: 89.8 %

The efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio between the MA and the AMA:

\eta = \frac{MA}{AMA} \cdot 100

Therefore, in this case,

\eta=\frac{3.59}{4}\cdot 100=0.898=89.8 \%

Explain how the basic unit are combined to give the derived units of force, velocity, pressure and work
LuckyWell [14K]

Velocity:

Velocity is change in displacement with respect to time:

\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units, meters (displacement) and seconds (time) are basic units:

\frac{m}{s}

Therefore the unit of velocity is m/s

Force:

Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

Kilogram (mass) is a basic unit, and accelerations unit can be found using the equation:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units:

\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the unit of force is:

kg\frac{m}{s^2}

Pressure:

Pressure is given by the equation:

P=\frac{F}{S} where S is area of effect, F is force

Area for a basic rectangle (geometric shape is arbitrary for dimensional analysis) is found by multiplying two lengths:

[l^2]=m^2, the unit of area

Dividing the aforementioned unit of force by the unit of area:

\frac{kg\frac{m}{s^2}}{m^2}=\frac{kg}{ms^2}, the unit of pressure

Work:

Work is given by the equation:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{x}, (dot product may be assumed as normal multiplication for the purposes of unit analysis)

Knowing displacement's (x) unit is m:

[W]=\frac{kgm}{s^2}m=\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}, the unit of work.

Calculat the acceleration of a person at latitude<br> 40degreesowing to the rotation of the earth.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

latitude = 40 degree

to find out

Calculate the acceleration of a person

solution

we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad

so

acceleration of person = g - ω²R    ...............1

and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree

here g is 9.81

so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × 10^{-5} rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 × 10^{6} m

so

put here value in equation 1 we get

acceleration of person = g - ω²R

acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × 10^{-5})² × 6.37 × 10^{6}

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

It is important for physicians to be _____ patient use of alternative therapies.
V125BC [204]
It is important for physicians to be Respectful of patient use of alternative therapies

Alternative therapies usually have not gain a scientific approval from the scientific community, but there are some therapies that show positive results even though it is still has not proved by studies or researches. So it's important for physicians to be respectful if the patient choose to do it
