Friction = 0.25 * m * g = 10.8
Push = m * a + Friction = 4.4 * 1.5 + 10.8

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Before start of slide velocity will be 14.81 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of static friction $\mu =0.8$

Angle of inclination is equal to $\Theta =tan^{-1}\mu$

$\Theta =tan^{-1}0.8=38.65^{\circ}$

$tan{38.65^{\circ}}=0.8$

Radius is given r = 28 m

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We know that $tan\Theta =\frac{v^2}{rg}$

$0.8=\frac{v^2}{28\times 9.8}$

$v^2=219.52$

$v=14.816m/sec$

So before start of slide velocity will be 14.81 m/sec

a person was using a spanner to loosen a tight nut.Their mass was 50kg the spanner was 0.5m long i) what is the persons weight?

sineoko [7]

1) Weight of the person: 490 N

2) Maximum torque: 245 Nm

Explanation:

1)

The weight of a body is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the body; it is given by the equation

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the person in this problem,

m = 50 kg is the mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface

Therefore, the weight of the person is

$F=(50)(9.8)=490 N$

2)

The turning force (also called torque) exerted by a force rotating an object is given by

$\tau = Fd sin \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm (the distance between the force and the pivotal point)

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

For the spanner in this problem,

F = 490 N is the force applied (the weight of the person)

d = 0.5 m is the arm (the length of the spanner)

The maximum torque is obtained when $\theta=90^{\circ}$ , therefore it is:

$\tau=(490)(0.5)(sin 90^{\circ})=245 N\cdot m$

Rainwater draining from a neighborhood street initially travels at 4 ft/s through a pipe with a cross-sectional area of 15.7 ft2

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The velocity is $v_2 = 0.96 \ ft/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed is $v_1 = 4 \ ft/s$

The cross -sectional area of the first pipe is $A_1 = 15.7 \ ft$

The cross -sectional area of the second pipe is $A_2 = 65.4 \ ft$

Generally from continuity equation we have that

$A_1 * v_1 = A_2 * v_2$

So

$v_2 = \frac{A_1 * v_1 }{A_2 }$

=> $v_2 = \frac{15.7 * 4 }{65.4 }$

=> $v_2 = 0.96 \ ft/s$
