A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and weight M = 220 lbs. The pivot under the left end exerts a norma

l force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot, located a distance l = 4.00 m from the end exerts a normal force n2. A woman with a weight of 130 lbs steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right. How far can the woman walk before the beam tips?

Answer:

x = 4,138 m

Explanation:

For this exercise, let's use the rotational equilibrium equation.

Let's fix our frame of reference on the left side of the pivot, the positive direction for anti-clockwise rotation

         ∑ τ = 0

         n₁ 0 - W L / 2 + n₂ 4 - W_woman  x = 0

         x = (- W L / 2 + 4n2) / W_woman

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI System

         M = 6 lbs (1 kg / 2.2 lb) = 2.72 kg

         M_woman = 130 lbs = 59.09 kg

Let's write the transnational equilibrium equation

         n₁ + n₂ - W - W_woman = 0

         n₁ + n₂ = W + W_woman

        n₁ + n₂ = (2.72 + 59.09) 9.8

At the point where the system begins to rotate, pivot 1 has no force on it, so its relation must be zero (n₁ = 0)

          n₂ = 605,738 N

 

Let's calculate

         x = (-2.72 9.8 6/2 + 4 605.738) / 59.09 9.8

         x = 4,138 m

A diver can change his rotational inertia by drawing his arms andlegs close to his body in the tuck position. After he leaves th
NeX [460]

Answer:

3.14946 rad/s

Explanation:

I_i = Intial moment of inertia

I_f = Final moment of inertia

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\omega_f = Final angular velocity = \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi\ rad/s

\dfrac{I_f}{I_i}=\dfrac{1}{3}

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{I_f\omega_f}{I_i}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{1\times \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi}{3}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=3.14946\ rad/s

The angular velocity when the diver left the board is 3.14946 rad/s

What type of circuit is illustrated?
Elis [28]
A. Parallel circuit

Short circuits are circuits that is like plugging in a USB into your computer and the other end to your iPhone, so it's not D.

Series circuits can come in all kinds of different shapes, so it's not C.

Open circuits are circuits that are opened, meaning that whenever you turn on the light and it's an open circuit, it won't work cause the two wires are not connected, meaning it's not D.

Parallel circuits are circuits that are in one straight line, just like parallel lines, meaning the answer would be A. (Look at the picture and don't get confused with the other question that's the same question and has the same answers, they both have different pictures, so look at the pictures they give you whenever they ask the question so your getting the right answer)

Hope this helped.

How does a sound wave transfer energy to your ears ?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A. Particles in air move in circles as the wave moves forward.

B. Particles in air move forward but not backward as the wave moves

forward.

C. Particles in air move up and down as the wave moves forward.

✔ D. Particles in air move forward and backward as the wave moves

forward.

Explanation:

The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.
