let the magnitude of force applied by each worker be "F"

consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis

In unit vector form, force vector by worker pushing in east direction is given as

\underset{A}{\rightarrow} = F \hat{i} + 0  \hat{j}


In unit vector form, force vector by worker pushing in north direction is given as

\underset{B}{\rightarrow} = 0 \hat{i} + F  \hat{j}

resultant force is given as the vector sum of two vector forces as

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = \underset{A}{\rightarrow} + \underset{B}{\rightarrow}

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = (F \hat{i} + 0  \hat{j} ) + (0 \hat{i} + F  \hat{j} )

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = F \hat{i} +  F  \hat{j}

direction of the force is hence given as

θ = tan⁻¹(F/F)

θ =  tan⁻¹(1)

θ = 45 degree north of east

hence the direction is north-east

<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.

mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg

mass of rod, mbc = 4kg

conservation of energy

T_{1}  + V_{1} = T_{2}  + V_{2}

h_{ab}  = h_{bc}  = 0.18m

potential energy at position 1,

V1 = m_{ab} gh_{ab}  + m_{bc} gh_{bc}

V1 = 2.5 * 9.81 * 0.18 + 4 * 9.81 * 0.18

V1 = 11.30112

kinetic energy T1 at position 1 is zero

potential energy at position 2 is zero

K.E at position 2,

T_{2} = \frac{1}{2} l_{ab} w^{2}_{ab} +  \frac{1}{2} m_{bc} v^{2}_{G} +  \frac{1}{2} lw^{2}_{bc}

l_{ab} =\frac{m_{ab} l^{2}_{ab}  }{3}

= 1/3 *4 * (0.36)²

=0.10368kg m²

l =\frac{m_{bc} l^{2}_{bc}  }{12}

= 1/12 *4 * (0.6)²

=0.12kg m²

on putting the values in above equation we get,

T₂ = 1.0667vb²

0 + 11.30112 = 1.0667vb² + 0

vb = 3.2549 m/s

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .
