In a city park a nonuniform wooden beam 5.00 m long is suspended horizontally by a light steel cable at each end. The cable at t

he left-hand end makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical and has tension 620 N. The cable at the right-hand end of the beam makes an angle of 50.0° with the vertical.
As an employee of the Parks and Recreation Department, you are asked to find the weight of the beam and location of its center of gravity.

Answer:

Explanation:

System of forces in balance

ΣFx = 0

ΣFy = 0

∑MA = 0

MA = F*d

Where:

∑MA  : Algebraic sum of moments in the the point (A)

MA : moment in the point A ( N*m)

F  : Force ( N)

d  : Horizontal distance of the force to the point A ( N*m

Forces acting on the beam

T₁ = 620 N : Tension in cable 1 ,at angle of 30° with the vertical on the left

T₂ : Tension in cable 2, at angle of 50.0° with the vertical on the right.

W : Weight of the beam

x-y T₁ and T₂ components

T₁x= 620*sin30° = 310 N

T₁y= 620*cos30° = 536.94 N

T₂x= T₂*sin50°

T₂y= T₂*cos50°

Calculation of the T₂

ΣFx = 0  

T₂x-T₁x = 0

T₂x=T₁x

T₂*sin50° =  310 N

T₂ =  310 N /sin50°

T₂ = 404.67 N

Calculation of the W

ΣFy = 0  

T₂y+T₁y-W = 0

(404.67) *cos50° +  536.94 = W

W= 260.12+ 536.94

W= 797.06 N

Location of the center of gravity of the beam

∑MA = 0 , point (A) (point where the  cable 2  of the right is located on the beam)

T₁y(5)-W(d) = 0

T₁y(5) = W(d)

d = T₁y(5)/W

d =  536.94(5) / 797.06

d = 3.37m

The center of gravity is located at 3.37m measured from the right end of the beam

Ill mark brainliest!!!
navik [9.2K]

Answer: A

si, di, are expressed as negative and f is expressed as positive values.

Explanation:

When the object is located at a location in front of the focal point of a convex len, the image will always be located somewhere on the same side of the lens as the object. The image is located behind the object. In this case, the image will be an upright image and the image is enlarged

In this question, the relationship between the focal length, image distance di and object distance is

I/f = 1/di + 1/do that is

I/f - 1/di - 1/do = 0

The image size si is also negative since the image is a virtual image.

Therefore, si, di, are expressed as negative, f is expressed as positive values.

What is the relative size and composition of the universe, a galaxy, and a solar system?
slava [35]

The solar system is smaller than a galaxy. Galaxies are composed of solar systems. The solar system is composed of planets revolving around a star (such as our sun). To put into perspective, there are about hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy (the milky way). On the other hand, billions of galaxies make up the universe.

The speed of light is constant which is 299 792 458 m / s. The time is taken for light to reach an object can be used to measure the distance between objects in space. This is done by multiplying the time by the speed of light.

Distance in space is so vast and therefore impractical to use the basic SI units of meters and kilometers we use here on earth. Therefore the use of astronomical units and light years is used. Light years is the distance that light can cover in a year in the vacuum of space, while astronomical units is the distance between solar systems.

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.3 m below. The droplets are fal
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.767m

Explanation:

We are given that the time interval between each droplet is equal.

We are also given that the fourth drop is just dripping from the shower when the first hits the floor.

If they fall at the same time interval and we know that the distance between the shower head and floor are the same, they must therefore fall at the same velocity.

The distance between each drop has to be the same given that they fall at equal time intervals.

Let this distance be x.

We can then partition the entire height of the system into three parts (as shown in the diagram).

Hence, we can say that:

x + x + x = 2.3m

3x = 2.3m

=> x = 2.3/3 = 0.767m

Therefore, at the time the first drop hits the floor, the third drop is only 0.767 m below the shower head.
