A steel beam of mass 1975 kg and length 3 m is attached to the wall with a pin that can rotate freely on its right side. A cable

attached to the left end pulls at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal and holds the beam horizontal (perpendicular to the wall) in equilibrium.
a) What is the torque due to gravity about an axis containing the pin holding the beam to the wall?

b) What is the torque about the pinned end due to the contact forces between the pin and the beam?

c) In terms of the magnitude of the tension force, T, and any relevant angles, find a symbolic expression for the torque due to the tension in the cable about the axis containing the pin (make sure to include the correct sign). Your answer may contain the symbols M, L, T, g, and mathematical functions.

d) Keeping in mind that the system is in equilibrium, find the magnitude of the tension force.

Answer:

a) 29062.125 N·m

b) 0 N·m

c) Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

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

Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

d) Plugging in the values in the torque due to tension equation, we have;

3\times Tsin60 = \frac{1975\times 3\times 9.81}{2} = 29062.125

Therefore, we make the tension force, T the subject of the formula hence

T= \frac{29062.125}{3 \times sin(60)} = 11186.02 N

If you can simply pour sand into a cup then why is it not a liquid?

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1176 Nm or J

Explanation:

W = F*d

F = 60kg * 9.8 kgm/s^2 = 588 N

W = 588 N * 2m = 1176 N*m

Calculate the temperature of the air mass when it has risen to a level at which atmospheric pressure is only 8.00×104 Pa . Assum

Answer:

T_{2}=278.80 K

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relate the temperatures and volumes of an adiabatic process in a ideal gas.

(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}.

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation to the initial and the final state:

\frac{p_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Let's recall that the term nR is a constant. That is why we can match these equations.  

We can find a relation between the volumes of the initial and the final state.

\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}}

Combining this equation with the first equation we have:

(\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

(\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}^{\gamma}}{T_{1}^{\gamma}}

Now, we just need to solve this equation for T₂.

T_{1}\cdot (\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}} = T_{2}

Let's assume the initial temperature and pressure as 25 °C = 298 K and 1 atm = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa, in a normal conditions.

Here,

p_{2}=8.00\cdot 10^{4} Pa \\p_{1}=1.01\cdot 10^{5} Pa\\ T_{1}=298 K\\ \gamma=1.40

Finally, T2 will be:

T_{2}=278.80 K

w strong are you? Could you turn a moving car with just your own strength? No way! If a normal driver inputs about 50 N of force
malfutka [58]

The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is the measure of its amplified force gain.

The mechanical advantage  is defined as the force amplified by a machine to the force required to generate such output.

Mathematically\ mechanical\ advantage\ MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

F_{o} \ and\ F_{i} are the amplified force and applied force. We may also consider them as output and input force.          


In the given question, the force given to the steering wheel is 50 N.

The output force produced by the steering wheel is 3750 N.

Hence the mechanical advantage will be-

                               MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

                                       =\frac{3750\ N}{50\ N}

                                       =75      [ans]
