A 9.76-m ladder with a mass of 22.6 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pulls straight upw

ard with a force of 254 N. At the instant the top of the ladder leaves the ground, the ladder experiences an angular acceleration of 1.99 rad/s2 about an axis passing through the bottom end of the ladder. The ladder's center of gravity lies halfway between the top and bottom ends.
A) What is the net torque acting on the ladder?
B) What is the ladder's moment of inertia?

Answer:

Part a)

\tau_{net} = 1397.1 Nm

Part b)

I = 702.06 kg m^2

Explanation:

Part a)

Torque on the rod is due to two forces

(i) Due to weight of the rod at mid point

(ii) Due to external force applied at the end

Now we have

\tau_{net} = FL - mg\frac{L}{2}

\tau_{net} = 254(9.76) - (22.6)(9.81)(\frac{9.76}{2})

\tau_{net} = 1397.1 Nm

Part b)

As per Newton's law we know that

\tau = I\alpha

now we have

1397.1 Nm = I(1.99 rad/s^2)

I = 702.06 kg m^2

Differences between concave and convex meniscus​
BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

A concave meniscus,(normally seen) occurs when the molecules of the liquid are attracted to those of the container. This occurs with water and a glass tube. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other than to the container, as with mercury and glass.

An airplane is flying from Dallas, Texas to Pensacola, Florida. Flying at maximum velocity, it encounters strong winds moving at
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

G. It will take twice as long.

Explanation:

Let's call v the original speed of the plane and d the distance between Dallas and Pensacola. The time the plane originally takes to complete the flight is

t=\frac{d}{v}

In this problem, we are told that the plane encounters wind moving at half of its speed: \frac{v}{2}, in the opposite direction. This means that the new speed of the plane is

v'=v-\frac{v}{2}=\frac{v}{2}

And so, the time the plane takes now to complete the flight is

t'=\frac{d}{v/2}=2\frac{d}{v}=2t

So, the plane takes twice the time as before.

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th
8090 [49]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}

r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun
