Given Information:

mass of crate = m = 117 kg

distance = d = 2.75 m

Inclined plane angle = θ = 28°

Required Information:

Work done = W = ?

Answer:

Work done = 1480.3 N.m

Explanation:

Refer to the attached image, since there is no friction, the only force acting on the crate is the force in the downward direction given by

Fy = mgsin(θ)

Fy = 117*9.8*sin(28°)

Fy = 538.3 N

Now as we know work done is given by

W = Fy*d

W = 538.3*2.75

W = 538.3*2.75

W = 1480.3 N.m

Therefore, 1480.3 N.m of work is required to push a 117 kg of crate to a distance of 2.75 m up an inclined plane making an angle of 28° with the horizontal surface.

Answer:

$W_{tot,min} = 1481.372\,J$

Explanation:

The minimum total work is the work needed to counteract the work associated with the weight:

$W_{tot, min} = W_{F}$

$W_{tot,min} = m\cdot g\cdot \sin \theta \cdot \Delta s$

$W_{tot,min} = (117\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (\sin 28^{\textdegree}) \cdot (2.75\,m)$

$W_{tot,min} = 1481.372\,J$

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.05 m/s. If the roof is pitched at

1) Time in the air: 0.78 s

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity

- A vertical motion with constant downward acceleration of

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

The initial vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (3.05)(sin(-40^{\circ}))=-1.96 m/s$

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the ball is given by

$y(t) = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 4.50 m is the initial heigth of the ball when it starts falling down

The ball reaches the ground when y = 0, so we have:

$0 = 4.50 -1.96t-4.9t^2$

This is a second-order equation; solving for t, we get

t = -1.18 s

t = 0.78 s

We discard the negative solution since it has no physical meaning, so we can say that the ball spent 0.78 s in the air.

2) Horizontal distance: 1.83 m

For this second part of the problem, we just have to consider the horizontal motion of the ball.

As we said previously, the motion of the ball along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion with constant velocity, which is given by

$v_x = u cos \theta = (3.05)(cos (-40.0^{\circ}))=2.34 m/s$

where u = 3.05 m/s is the initial speed and $\theta$ the angle of projection.

For a uniform motion, we can use the following relationship between distance covered and velocity:

$d=v_x t$

and substituting t = 0.78 s, we find the total distance travelled along the horizontal direction by the ball before reaching the ground:

$d=(2.34)(0.78)=1.83 m$

An aluminum cylinder with a radius of 2.7 cm and a height of 67 cm is used as one leg of a workbench. The workbench pushes down

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$1.9\times 10^{-4}$

$1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2.7 cm

F = Force = $3.2\times 10^4\ N$

A = Area = $\pi r^2$

$\sigma$ = Stress = $\frac{F}{A}$

E = Young's modulus = $7\times 10^{10}\ Pa$

$\epsilon$ = Strain

$L_0$ = Original length = 67 cm

$\Delta L$ = Change in length

Young's modulus is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\frac{3.2\times 10^4}{\pi 0.027^2}}{7\times 10^{10}}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=0.0001996=1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is $1.9\times 10^{-4}$

Strain is given by

$\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\epsilon\times L_0\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.9\times 10^{-4}\times 0.67\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.0001273\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$

The cylinder height decreases by $1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m$
