A scientist would use a unit of length appropriate for the magnitude of what he or she is measuring. In this case, since rock is built up very slowly, they would probably use millimetres or centimetres. In some cases they may use meters.

There you go.

A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/secon

n200080 [17]

To calculate the force of impact F, first lets calculate the acceleration a of the ball:

a=v/t where v is the velocity of the ball and t is time

a=32/0.8=40 m/s²

To get the force F we need the Newtons second law:

F=m*a where m is the mass of the ball and a is the acceleration.

F=m*a= 0.2*40 = 8 N

So the impact force is F= 8 N.

The horizontal beam in Fig. E11.14 weighs 190 N, and its center of gravity is at its center. Find (a) the tension in the cable a

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of beam= 190 N

Here, The center of gravity is at its center

According to figure,

The angle is

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}$

The horizontal component is

$T_{x}=T\cos\theta$

The vertical component is

$T_{y}=T\sin\theta$

(a). We need to calculate the tension in the cable

Using formula of net torque acting on the pivot

$\sum\tau=F_{b}\times r+F_{w}\times r'-T\sin \theta\times r'$

Put the value into the formula

$0=190\times2+300\times 4-T\sin\theta\times 4$

$T\sin\theta\times 4=380+1200$

$T=\dfrac{1580\times5}{3\times 4}$

$T=658.33\ N$

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of horizontal component

$F_{x}=T\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{x}=658.33\times\dfrac{4}{5}$

$F_{x}=526.66\ N$

(c). We need to calculate the vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of vertical component

$F_{y}=F_{b}+F_{w}-T\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{y}=190+300-658.33\times\dfrac{3}{5}$

$F_{y}=95.002\ N$

Hence, (a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.
