Answer:
Initial kinetic energy will be 2608200 lbf-ft
Initial speed will be 240.7488 m/sec
Explanation:
We have given height h = 900 ft
Mass of the object m = 90 lbm
Acceleration due to gravity
Initial kinetic energy will be equal to potential energy of the object
So kinetic energy = potential energy = mgh
This energy is also equal to the initial kinetic energy
So
So initial velocity will be 240.7488 m/sec
As we can see here the lever has two forces at two ends
1. 300 N
2. 200 N
now we need to find the Torque on the lever about the fulcrum
so we will have
1. clockwise torque due to force at right end is
2. counterclockwise torque due to force at left end
so as per above calculations we can see that net torque on the lever is clockwise as it has more torque in clockwise direction
so <u>it will rotate clockwise</u>
