The New England Merchants Bank Building in Boston is 152 mm high. On windy days it sways with a frequency of 0.20 HzHz , and the

acceleration of the top of the building can reach 2.5 %% of the free-fall acceleration, enough to cause discomfort for occupants.What is the total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation?

Answer:

The total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation = 31 cm

Explanation:

Let the total side to side motion be 2A. Where A is maximum acceleration.

Now, we know know that equation for maximum acceleration is;

A = α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)]

So 2A = 2[α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)] ]

α(max) = (0.025 x 9.81) while frequency(f) from the question is 0.2Hz.

Therefore 2A = 2 [(0.025 x 9.81) / [((2π(0.2)) ^(2)] ] = 2( 0.245 / 1.58) = 0.31m or 31cm

Answer:

|F| = 393750  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Total mass of the train, m = 750000 kg

Initial speed, u = 84 m/s

Final speed, v = 42 m/s

Time, t = 80 s

We need to find the net force acting on the train. The formula for force is given by :

F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{750000\times (42-84)}{80}\\\\F=-393750\ N

So, the magnitude of net force is 393750  N.
