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

VikaD [51]

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

A 150 g baseball is traveling horizontally at 50 m/s. If the ball takes 20 ms to stop once it is in contact with the catcher’s g

Sliva [168]

To solve for force, you need to get the product of mass and acceleration.
F = ma

Your given is:
m = 150g
a = ?
v = 50 m/s
t = 20ms

As you can see, you do not have acceleration yet. But if you read the problem you can come up with the formula of acceleration.
Acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time.

a = change in velocity/time

To get the change in velocity, you get the difference between the initial velocity and final velocity:

$a = \frac{vf-vi}{t}$

The ball was moving initially at a velocity of 50 m/s and it came to a stop. This is your clue. If a ball comes to a stop then that means that the final velocity of the ball is 0 m/s.

So we can put it into our formula now:

$a = \frac{0m/s-50m/s}{20ms}$

WAIT! As you can see, the units do not match. We have ms and s into our equation and that means you cannot proceed till they are the same. First we need to convert ms to s.

$20ms$ x $\frac{1s}{1000ms}$ = $\frac{20s}{1000} = 0.02s$

So your new time is 0.02s. Now we put this time into the formula:

$a = \frac{0m/s-50m/s}{0.02s}$
$a = \frac{-50m/s}{0.02s} = -2,500 m/ s^{2}$

As you can see our acceleration is a negative value, this indicates that it decelerated or slowed down which makes sense because it was brought to a stop.

So now we have our acceleration. Now using this, we can get our force.

$F= ma$

Before we start doing this, you need to take note that the unit of force is N, but when you expand it, it is $kg.m/ s^{2}$ but as you can see our mass given is in grams. So again, before you put them into the equation we need to change it into kg first.

$150g = \frac{1kg}{1,000g} = \frac{150kg}{1,000} = 0.150kg$

Our new mass is 0.150kg.

To make things clearer, let us write down all our new values:

m = 0.150kg
a = -2,500 $m/ s^{2}$

Now that all our units match, we can put that into our formula:

$F= ma$
$F= (0.150kg)(-2,500m/s^{2})$
$F = -375kg.m/ s^{2} or -375N$

The value again is negative because it is going against the initial direction of the ball. But if your instructor just wants to get the value of force or the magnitude of the force, just disregard the sign.

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: d sin θ = nλ

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.
