A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.

A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame so that the door can close on its own after being opened. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 5.2 Nm. What is the least force that you need to apply to the door to hold it open (in Newtons)?

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

A 29.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal.
castortr0y [4]

The vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the tension.

<h3>How to find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam?</h3>
  • Let's draw the free body diagram of the system.
  • To find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam, we have to balance the total vertical force to zero.

                      F_V+T sin\alpha -mg=0\\F_V=mg-Tsin\alpha \\

  • To find the answer, we have to find the tension,

                     Tlsin\alpha - mg\frac{l}{2}sin\beta =0\\ \\Tlsin\alpha = mg\frac{l}{2}sin\beta\\\\Tsin57=\frac{mg}{2}sin90\\\\T=\frac{mg}{2sin57} =169.43N

  • Thus, the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,

                F_V=(29*9.8)-(169.43*sin57)=142.10N

Thus, we can conclude that, the vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

How must a fuse be connected in a circuit to prevent current from flowing when the circuit becomes ""overloaded""?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.

Explanation:

A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current

The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.

HELP ME PLSSSS!!!!!!!
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A. The molecules that make up olive oil are longer than those that

make up alcohol, so they have more resistance to sliding past one

another.

Olive oils are unsaturated fats with many carbons whereas, alcohols are typically short with very few carbons.

A 40kg dog is sitting on top of a hillside and has a potential energy of 1,568 J. What is the height of the hill side?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

<h2>39.2 m</h2>

Explanation:

The height of the hill side can be found by using the formula

h =  \frac{p}{m}  \\

p is the potential energy

m is the mass

From the question we have

h =  \frac{1568}{40}  =  \frac{196}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>39.2 m</h3>

Hope this helps you
