1 answer:
Answer:
a) 29062.125 N·m
b) 0 N·m
c)
d) T = 11186.02 N
Explanation:
We are given
Beam mass = 1975 kg
Beam length = 3 m
Cable angle = 60° above horizontal
a) We have the formula for torque given as follows;
Torque about the pin = Force × Perpendicular distance of force from pin
Where the force = Force due to gravity or weight, we have
Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity = 1975 × 9.81 = 19374.75 N
Point of action of force = Midpoint for a uniform beam = length/2
∴ Point of action of force = 3/2 = 1.5 m
Torque due to gravity = 19374.75 N × 1.5 m = 29062.125 N·m
b) Torque about the pinned end due to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is given by the following relation;
Since the distance from pin to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is 0, the torque which is force multiplied by perpendicular distance is also 0 N·m
c) To find the expression for the tension force, T we find the sum of the moment forces about the pin as follows
Sum of moments about p is given as follows
∑M = 0 gives;
T·sin(θ) × L= M×L/2×g
Therefore torque due to tension is given by the following expression
d) Plugging in the values in the torque due to tension equation, we have;
Therefore, we make the tension force, T the subject of the formula hence

Answer:
Part a)
Part b)
Direction = upwards
Explanation:
When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m
then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as
Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m
so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as
Part a)
Average acceleration is given as
Part B)
As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards
So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards
To understand this question, you need to understand the concept of acceleration first. Have you ever been in a car and noticed that it was getting faster and faster? That "speeding up" of the car is known as acceleration! Acceleration is essentially the rate at which you speed up.
Okay, so we now know what acceleration is. What are its units? The unit of acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time:
If you haven't learned about velocity yet, just think about it as speed for now. The funny-looking triangle, ∆, is a symbol for "the change of." For example, if I started walking at 3 then sped up to 5
, then the change in my speed would be 2
, because I started walking 2
faster!
Okay, enough with all the explanations. Hopefully, you understand the units now. Let's take a look at the question. A car accelerates from 4 to 16
in 4 seconds. What would the acceleration be? Let's set up an equation:
a =
a is the acceleration, ∆v is the change in velocity, and t is the time elapsed.
Now, let's plug in our values! ∆v is the change in velocity, and to find that we simply have to subtract 16 by 4
. That makes sense, right? Back to the equation.
a =
a =
(16 - 4 is the change in velocity, and 4 is the number of seconds the car was accelerating)
a =
a = 3 ()
We have our answer! The car's acceleration is 3 meters per second^{2}.
(You might be thinking: Wait. Meters per second squared? The reason for that is because acceleration is the rate at which the speed increases! That makes the unit , which can be simplified down to
)
Let me know if you need clarification on anything I explained here!
