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

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, what is the direction of the force on the test charge?
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.

An automobile with a standard differential turns sharply to the left. The left driving wheel turns on a 20-m radius. Distance be
Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Inner wheel Radius = 20 m,

   Distance between left and right wheel = 1.5m,

Let us assume speed of drive shaft is N rpm.

Formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

    Angular velocity of automobile = w = \frac{V}{R}

where,   V = linear velocity of automobile m/min,

              R = turning radius from automobile center in meter

In the given case, angular velocity remains same for inner and outer wheel but there is change in linear velocity of inner wheel and outer wheel.

Now, we assume that

         u = linear velocity of inner wheel

and,   u' = linear velocity of outer wheel.

Formula for angular velocity of inner wheel w = ,

Formula for angular velocity of outer wheel w =

Now, for inner wheels

                   w =

                      = \frac{u}{(R - d)}

                  u = V \times \frac{(R - d)}{R}

                    = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

If radius of wheel is r it will cover  distance in one min.

Since, velocity of wheel is u it will cover distance u in unit time(min)

Thus,             u = 2\pi rn = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

Now, rotation per minute of inner wheel is calculated as follows.

         n = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})}

            = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{0.75}{20})} (since 2d = 1.5m given, d = 0.75m),

             = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1532

So, rotation per minute of outer wheel; n' =  

                   = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 + \frac{0.75}{20})}

                   = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1651

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

It will be unaffected by the magnet because it has no magnetic field. If you were to maybe have electricity going through it is the only way it would have anything to do with the magnet.
