A scaffold of mass 57 kg and length 6.5 m is supported in a horizontal position by a vertical cable at each end. A window washer

of mass 79 kg stands at a point 1.9 m from one end. (a) What is the tension in the cable closer to the painter? (b) What is the tension in the cable further from the painter?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     m_{1} = 57 kg,        m_{2} = 79 kg

      l_{1} = 6.5 m,         l_{2} = (6.5 - 1.9) m = 4.6 m

(a)  The sum of torque ends about far end is as follows.

    m_{1}g \frac{l_{1}}{2} + m_{2}g \times l_{2} - T \times l_{1} = 0

     57 \times 9.81 \times \frac{6.5}{2} + 79 \times 9.81 \times (6.5 - 1.9) - T \times 6.5 = 0

                     T = 828 N

Therefore, 828 N is the tension in the cable closer to the painter.

(b)  Now, we will calculate the sum about close ends as follows.

m_{1}g \frac{l_{1}}{2} + m_{2}g \times (1.9) - T \times l_{1}    

  57 \times 9.81 \times \frac{6.5}{2} + 79 \times 9.81 \times (1.9) - T \times 6.5 = 0

                            T= 506 N

Therefore, 506 N is the tension in the cable further from the painter.

Your code returns a number of 99.123456789 +0.00455679 for your calculation. How should you report it in your lab write-up?
Aneli [31]

Answer: Your code returns a number of 99.123456789 +0.00455679

Ok, you must see where the error starts to affect your number.

In this case, is in the third decimal.

So you will write 99.123 +- 0.004 da da da.

But you must round your results. In the number you can see that after the 3 comes a 4, so the 3 stays as it is.

in the error, after the 4 comes a 5, so it rounds up.

So the final presentation will be 99.123 +- 0.005

you are discarding all the other decimals because the error "domains" them.

A special rocket can produce 7.66 ✕ 10^5 N of instantaneous thrust with an exhaust speed of 3.05 ✕ 103 m/s in vacuum. What mass
adelina 88 [10]

The mass of fuel the engine burn each second to produce a thrust of 7.66×10⁵ N is 2.5×10² kg/s.

<h3 /><h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass can be defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. The S.I unit of mass is kilogram(kg)

To calculate the mass the engine burns each seconds, we use the formula below.

Formual:

  • M = T/v............. Equation

Where:

  • M = Mass per seconds of the rocket
  • T = Thrust
  • v = Velocity

From the question,

Given:

  • T = 7.66×10⁵ N
  • v = 3.05×10³ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • M = (7.66×10⁵)/(3.05×10³)
  • M = 2.5×10² kg/s

Hence, the mass of fuel burned in each second is 2.5×10² kg/s.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}

a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}

a'=4\times a

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.
