A scaffold of mass 57 kg and length 6.5 m is supported in a horizontal position by a vertical cable at each end. A window washer

Mrac [35]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$m_{1}$ = 57 kg, $m_{2}$ = 79 kg

$l_{1}$ = 6.5 m, $l_{2}$ = (6.5 - 1.9) m = 4.6 m

(a) The sum of torque ends about far end is as follows.

$m_{1}g \frac{l_{1}}{2} + m_{2}g \times l_{2} - T \times l_{1}$ = 0

$57 \times 9.81 \times \frac{6.5}{2} + 79 \times 9.81 \times (6.5 - 1.9) - T \times 6.5$ = 0

T = 828 N

Therefore, 828 N is the tension in the cable closer to the painter.

(b) Now, we will calculate the sum about close ends as follows.

$m_{1}g \frac{l_{1}}{2} + m_{2}g \times (1.9) - T \times l_{1}$

$57 \times 9.81 \times \frac{6.5}{2} + 79 \times 9.81 \times (1.9) - T \times 6.5$ = 0

T= 506 N

Therefore, 506 N is the tension in the cable further from the painter.

What should a sailboat operator do when approaching a PWC head-on

nekit [7.7K]

In accordance with the International Regulation for the prevention of collisions at sea:

1.- A sailing boat has a passing preference over a motorized boat, except when the motor boat is limited by its draft.

2.- The sailboat must maintain its course and speed.

3.- If it is evident that the PWC does not respond, the sailboat must sound the warning signal, and change its course to starboard.

4.- All actions must be taken as soon as possible.

5.- If a sailboat is using its engine, the situation changes, and in that case, both ships must alter to starboard.

What is stellar parallax?a.It describes the fact that stars are actually moving relative to one another, even though to our eyes

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Option C

C. It is the slight back-and-forth shifting of star positions that occurs as we view the stars from different positions in Earth's orbit of the Sun.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth(as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km) is defined as 1 astronomical unit.

$d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')}$ (1)
