A uniform beam with mass M and length L is attached to the wall by a hinge, and supported by a cable. A mass of value 3M is susp

ended from the bar 3/4ths of its length from the wall. The angle indicated is 60°. What is the tension in the cable? What is the horizontal force provided by the hinge?

Answer:

The tension is  T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg

The horizontal force provided by hinge   Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg

Explanation:

   From the question we are told that

          The mass of the beam  is   m_b =M

          The length of the beam is  l = L

           The hanging mass is  m_h = 3M

            The length of the hannging mass is l_h = \frac{3}{4} l

            The angle the cable makes with the wall is \theta = 60^o

The free body diagram of this setup is shown on the first uploaded image

The force F_x \ \ and \ \ F_y are the forces experienced by the beam due to the hinges

      Looking at the diagram we ca see that the moment of the force about the fixed end of the beam along both the x-axis and the y- axis is zero

     So

           \sum F =0

Now about the x-axis the moment is

              F_x -T cos \theta  = 0

     =>     F_x = Tcos \theta

Substituting values

            F_x =T cos (60)

                 F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)

Now about the y-axis the moment is  

           F_y  + Tsin \theta  = M *g + 3M *g ----(2)

Now the torque on the system is zero because their is no rotation  

   So  the torque above point 0 is

          M* g * \frac{L}{2}  + 3M * g \frac{3L}{2} - T sin(60) * L = 0

            \frac{Mg}{2} + \frac{9 Mg}{4} -  T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}    = 0

               \frac{2Mg + 9Mg}{4} = T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

               T = \frac{11Mg}{4} * \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }

                   T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg

The horizontal force provided by the hinge is

             F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)

Now substituting for T

              F_{x} = \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } * \frac{1}{2}

                  Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg

Which of the following is/are ALWAYS true concerning collision and transition state theory?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

1) Transition states are short-lived

Explanation:

Transition state theory explains the rates of elementary chemical reactions. It assumes a quasi-equilibrium between reactants and activated transition state complexes.

The following are the characteristics of transition states

  • Instability
  • Ill-defined
  • High energy
  • short-lived

The species that must collide for the reaction to occur are shown by the mechanism of reaction and not the balanced reaction itself

Intermediates are consumed in each step of the overall reaction, they are not short lived

John ( body mass= 65 kg) is taking off for a long jump . Horizontal accerleration ax is 5m/s^2 and vertical acceleration ay is 0
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(a) The horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b)  The vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)   The resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N

Explanation:  

Given

John mass , m = 65 kg

Horizontal acceleration , a_x= 5.0 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Vertical acceleration , a_y=0.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

(a) Using Newton's 2nd law in horizontal direction

F_{g,x}=ma_x

=>F_{g,x}=65\times 5\, N=325\, N

Thus the horizontal ground reaction force  F_{g,x}=325\, N

(b) Using Newton's 2nd law in vertical direction

F_{g,y}-mg=ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=mg+ma_y

=>F_{g,y}=65\times (9.81+0.9)\, N=696\, N

Thus the vertical ground reaction force F_{g,y}=696\, N

(c)  Resultant ground reaction force is

F_g=(F_{g,x}^{2}+F_{g,y}^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}

=>F_g=(325^{2}+696^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\, N=768\, N

=>F_g=768\, N

Thus  the resultant ground reaction force F_g=768\, N

A runner runs 300 m at an average speed of 3.0 m/s. She then runs another 300m at an average
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

B. 4 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

Running for 300 m at 3 m/s takes 100 seconds and running at 300 m at 6 m/s takes 50 seconds. 100 s + 50 s = 150 s (total time). Total distance is 600 m, so 600 m/ 150 s = 4 m/s.

Zad. 2 W marszobiegu chłopiec przebiegł 900 m w ciągu 205 min, a następnie przeszedł 300m w tym danym czasie. Jaka była średnia
USPshnik [31]

Odpowiedź:

0,049 m / s

Wyjaśnienie:

Biorąc pod uwagę, że:

Dystans biegu = 900m

Czas trwania = 205 minut

Długość przejścia = 300 m

Zajęty czas = 205 minut

Średnia prędkość :

(Przebieg + pokonany dystans) / całkowity czas

Średnia prędkość :

(900 m +. 300 m) / 205 + 205

1200 m / 410 minut

Minuty do sekund

1200 / (410 * 60)

1200/24600

= 0,0487804

= 0,049 m / s
