Consider a uniform horizontal wooden board that acts as a pedestrian bridge. The bridge has a mass of 300 kg and a length of 10

m. The bridge is supported by two vertical stone pillars, one 2.0 m from the left end of the bridge and the other 2.0 m from the right end of the bridge. If a 200 kg knight stands on the bridge 4.0 m from the left end, what force is applied by the left support

Answer:

F = 2123.33N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the torque applied by the left support, you take into account that the system is at equilibrium. Then, the resultant of the implied torques are zero.

\Sigma \tau=0

Next, you calculate the resultant of the torques around the right support, by taking into account that the torques are generated by the center of mass of the wooden, the person and the left support. Furthermore, you take into account that torques in a clockwise direction are negative and in counterclockwise are positive.

Then, you obtain the following formula:

-\tau_l+\tau_p+\tau_{cm}=0          (1)

τl: torque produced by the left support

τp: torque produced by the person

τcm: torque produced by the center of mass of the wooden

The torque is given by:

\tau=Fd           (2)

F: force applied

d: distance to the pivot of the torque, in this case, distance to the right support.

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1) and take into account that the force applied by the person and the center of mass of the wood are the their weight:

-Fd_1+W_pd_2+W_{cm}d_3=0\\\\d_1=6.0m\\\\d_2=2.0m\\\\d_3=3.0m\\\\W_p=(200kg)(9.8m/s^2)=1960N\\\\W_{cm}=(300kg)(9.8m/s^2)=2940N

Where d1, d2 and d3 are distance to the right support.

You solve the equation for F and replace the values of the other parameters:

F=\frac{W_pd_2+W_d_3}{d_1}=\frac{(1960N)(2.0m)+(2940N)(3.0m)}{6.0m}\\\\F=2123.33N

The force applied by the left support is 2123.33 N

Superman is flying 54.5 m/s when he sees
Nady [450]

348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.

To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2} and v_{f} =v_{0} +at where d is distance, v_{0} is the initial velocity, v_{f} is the final velocity, t is time, and a is aceleration.

Superman's initial velocity is v_{0}=54.5\frac{m}{s}, and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know d, v_{0} and t, we have to find the aceleration a in order to find v_{f}.

From the equation d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2} we have to clear a, getting the equation as follows: a=\frac{2(d-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} }.

Substituting the values:

a=\frac{2(850m-54.5\frac{m}{s}.4.22s) }{(4.22s)^{2}}=69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}

To find v_{f} we use the equation v_{f} =v_{0} +at.

Substituting the values:

v_{f} =54.5\frac{m}{s} +(69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}.4.22s)=348.34\frac{m}{s}

Four aqueous solutions and their concentrations are shown in the above illustration. which of the solutions is most likely to be
Elza [17]
The solution that would most likely be a strongest conductor of electricity is the solution that is most saturated or concentrated. This is because the atoms that are found within the aqueous solutions have become positively charged resulting to the attraction of negatively charged ions that are found in electricity. On the other hand, the least conductive from the aqueous solutions would be the most unsaturated one because of less conductive ions present.
