Answer:
f = 878,080 N
Explanation:
mass of pile driver (m) = 2100 kg
distance of pile driver to steel beam (s) = 5 m
depth of steel driven (d) = 12 cm = 0.12 m
acceleration due to gravity (g0 = 9.8 m/s^{2}
calculate the average force exerted on the pile driver by the beam.
- from work done = force x distance
- work done = change in potential energy of the pile driver
- equating the two equations above we have
force x distance = m x g x (s - d)
f x 0.12 = 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12))
d = - 0.12 because the steel beam went down at we are taking its
initial position to be an origin point which is 0
f = ( 2100 x 9.8 x (5- (-0.12)) ) ÷ 0.12
f = 878,080 N
I think that the answer is c. good luck
To calculate instantaneous speed, we need to divide part of the total distance traveled by time. However, we don't want to use the distance of the entire trip, because that will give us average speed.
