The boom of a fire truck raises a fireman (and his equipment – total weight 280 lbf) 60 ft into the air to fight a building fire

. (a) Showing all your work and using unity conversion ratios, calculate the work done by the boom on the fireman in units of Btu. (b) If the useful power supplied by the boom to lift the fireman is 3.50 hp, estimate how long it takes to lift the fireman.

Answer:

a)Work done by fireman=   2.15  Btu

b) Time t= 0.86 sec

Explanation:

Given that

Weight = 280 lbf

We know that 1 lbf = 4.44 N

so 280 lbf = 1245.5 N

Weight =1245.5 N

Height h = 60 ft

We know that

1 ft = 0.3048 m

So 60 ft = 18.28 m

 h =18.28 m

Power = 3.5 hp

We know that

1 hp =0.74 KW

So 3.5 hp = 2.61 KW

Power = 2.61 KJ/s

So the work done by fireman = Weight x h

Now by putting the values

Work done by fireman= 1245.5 x 18.28 J

Work done by fireman=   2267.74 J

Work done by fireman=   2.26774  KJ

We know that 1 Btu= 1.05 KJ

So   2.266 KJ = 2.15 Btu

Work done by fireman=   2.15  Btu

We know that ,rate of work is called power.

Power x time =  work

2.61 x t = 2.26

So t= 0.86 sec

A race car traveling at 10 meters per second accelerates at 1.5 meters per second squared while moving a distance of 600 meters.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 10 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s^2

d = 600 m

vf = ?

Formula

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

Solution

vf^2 = 10^2 + 2*1.5 * 600

vf^2 = 100 + 1800

vf^2 = 1900

sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(1900)

vf = 43.59 m/s

The force diagram represents a girl pulling a sled with a mass of 6.0 kg to the left with a force of 10.0 N at a 30.0 degree ang
Vilka [71]
Normal Force = 54 N
acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

For Normal Force:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all up and down forces):

10 sin 30 + Normal Force - 58.8 = 0
Normal Force = 53.8 N = 54 N

For acceleration:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all left and right forces):

10 cos 30 - 1.5 = (6.0) (Acceleration)
Acceleration = 1.19 m/s^2 = 1.2 m/s^2
