Answer:

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Gravitational energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy and object posses at rest. When the base jumper is still at rest i.e without motion, she has potential energy.

Gravitational energy this refer to the potential energy an object or body with mass posses in relation to another object due to gravity.

This is seen when the base number is still at rest and the force of gravity on the Earth acting on her.

Kinetic energy is the energy posses by an object or body in motion.

As the base jumper falls to the ground, she posses kinetic energy which is the energy in motion.

Determine the average normal stress developed in rod AB if the load has a mass of 55 kg . The diameter of rod AB is 8 mm.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The normal stress is 10.7[MPa]

Explanation:

The normal stress can be calculated with the following equation:

$S_{norm} =\frac{F}{A} \\where:\\F= force [Newtons]\\A=area [m^2]\\S_{norm} = Normal stress [\frac{N}{m^{2} }] or [Pa]$

The area of the rod can be calculated using the equation:

$A=\frac{\pi }{4}*d^{2} \\d=8[mm]=0.008[m]\\A=\frac{\pi }{4}*(0.008)^{2} \\A=5.02*10^{-5} [m^{2} ]$

The force is the result of the mass multiplied by the gravity.

$F=55[kg]*9.81[m/s^{2} ] = 539.6[N]\\\\S_{norm} = 539.6/5.02*10^{-5} \\S_{norm} = 10.7*10^{6}[Pa] = 10.7[MPa]$
