An 8.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground

is 0.55, and the ladder makes a 50.0° angle with the ground. How far up the ladder can an 710 N person climb before the ladder begins to slip?

Answer:

5.7 m

Explanation:

AD = length of the ladder = L = 8 m

AB = distance of the center of mass of the ladder = (0.5) L = (0.5) 8 = 4 m

AC = distance of person on the ladder from the bottom end = x

W = weight of the ladder = 240 N

F_{g} = weight of the person = 710 N

F = force by the wall on the ladder

N = normal force by ground on the ladder = ?

Using equilibrium of force along the vertical direction

N = F_{g} + W

N = 710 + 240

N = 950 N

μ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.55

f =static frictional force on the ladder

Static frictional force is given as

f = μ N

f = (0.55) (950)

f = 522.5 N

Force equation along the horizontal direction is given as

F = f

F = 522.5 N

using equilibrium of torque about point A

F Sin50 (AD) = W Cos50 (AB) + (F_{g} Cos50 (AC))

(522.5) Sin50 (8) = (240) Cos50 (4) + (710) Cos50 (x)

x = 5.7 m

a man uses a 900 watt electric iron to press his clothes for an average of 4 hours a week for five weeks if the cost of an elect
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

54 Kobo

Explanation:

Units of <u>electricity</u> are measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).

Given information:

  • 900 watt electric iron
  • Appliance usage = 4 hours a week for 5 weeks
  • Unit cost of electricity = 3 Kobo per kWh

<h3><u>Step 1</u></h3>

Convert the wattage of the electric iron from watts to kilowatts.

1000 watts (W) = 1 kilowatt (kW)

⇒ 900 watts = 1 ÷ 1000 = 0.9 kilowatts

This means that the power consumption of the electric iron is 0.9 kW per hour of use.

<h3><u>Step 2</u></h3>

Total hours spent pressing clothes:

= 4 hours per week for 5 weeks

= 4 × 5

= 20 hours

<u>Total power consumption</u>:

= number of kW × number of hours

= 0.9 × 20

= 18 kWh

<h3><u>Step 3</u></h3>

To find the <u>total cost</u>, multiply the total kWh by the cost per kWh:

⇒ Cost = 18 × 3 = 54 Kobo

How much heat is needed to change 1.25 kg of steak at 100°C to water at 100°C?
cricket20 [7]

The heat required to change 1.25 kg of steak is 2825 kJ /kg.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given, mass m = 1.25 kg,     Temperature t = 100 degree celsius

To calculate the heat required,

                                 Q = m \times L

where m represents the mass in kg,

          L represents the heat of vaporization.

When a material in the liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor and the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of the vaporization. The heat of vaporization of the water is about 2260 kJ/kg.

                                  Q = 1.25 \times 2260

                                  Q = 2825 kJ /kg.
