A steel tank of weight 600 lb is to be accelerated straight upward at a rate of 1.5 ft/sec2. Knowing the magnitude of the force
P is 525 lb, determine the values of the angle a and the required magnitude of the vertical force, F.
1 answer:
Answer:
a) the values of the angle α is 45.5°
b) the required magnitude of the vertical force, F is 41 lb
Explanation:
Applying the free equilibrium equation along x-direction
from the diagram
we say
∑Fₓ = 0
Pcosα - 425cos30° = 0
525cosα - 368.06 = 0
cosα = 368.06/525
cosα = 0.701
α = cos⁻¹ (0.701)
α = 45.5°
Also Applying the force equation of motion along y-direction
∑Fₓ = ma
Psinα + F + 425sin30° - 600 = (600/32.2)(1.5)
525sin45.5° + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95
374.46 + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95
F - 13.04 = 27.95
F = 27.95 + 13.04
F = 40.99 ≈ 41 lb

Answer:
J = 357.5 kg*m/s
Explanation:
- The impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate, is equal to the change in her momentum, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
- Assuming as the positive direction the upward direction (coincident with the positive y-axis) we can express the initial momentum as follows:
- By the same token, the final momentum is as follows:
- As we have already said, the impulse J is just equal to the change in momentum, i.e., the difference between (2) and (1):
