Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Mass of ladder is 51kg

Then, it weight is

WL = mg = 51 × 9.81 = 500.31N

This weight will act at the midpoint of the ladder

Length of ladder is 15m

The ladder makes an angle 55°C with the horizontal

An object whose mass is 81kg is at 4m from the bottom of the ladder

Then, weight of object

Wo = mg = 81 × 9.81 = 794.61 N

Using newton second law

Check attachment

Ng is normal force on the ground

Ff is the horizontal frictional force

Nw Is the normal force on the wall

ΣFy = 0

Ng = Wo + WL

Ng = 794.61 + 500.31

Ng = 1294.92 N

Also

ΣFx = 0

Ff — Nw = 0

Then,

Ff = Nw

Now taking moment about point A.

Check attachment

using the principle of equilibrium

Sum of clockwise moment equals to sum of anti-clockwise moment

Also note that the Normal force on the wall is not perpendicular to the ladder, so we will resolve that and also the weights of ladder and weight of object

Clockwise = Anticlockwise

Wo•Cos60 × 4 + WL•Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw•Sin60 × 15

794.61Cos60 × 4 + 500.31Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw × Sin60 × 15

1589.22 + 1876.163 = 12.99•Nw

3465.383 = 12.99•Nw

Nw = 3465.383 / 12.99

Nw = 266.77 N

Since, Nw = Ff

Then, Ff = 266.77N

the horizontal force exerted by the ground on the ladder is 266.77 N

Answer:

266.5 newton

Explanation:

Weight of first object = 51 kg * 9.81

                                   =  500 N

Weight of second object = 81 kg *9.81

                                         = 794.61 N

As length of ladder is 15 m, the center of mass will be at 7.5 m.

Level arm is always perpendicular to the force. So the level of arm is at

7.5 sin θ.

τ ( wall) = τ (first object ) + τ ( second object)

N cos 30 ×15 = 794.61 sin 30 × 4  + ( 500 sin 30 ×7.5 )

13 N =  1589.22 + 1875

13 N = 3464.22

   N= 266.5 newton

How do Newton's laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can
lord [1]

Answer:

I'm not sure..but please refer to your teacher later.

Answer: Based on Newton's First law of motion (where inertia is involved), smooth ice increases the forceused to accelerate the hockey puck.

Explanation;

  • smooth ice reduces the resistances between the surface of the figure skates and the ice itself.
  • based on inertia theory ; the heavier the weight, the larger the inertia.. which explains it takes alot of force to move a heavier object than the lighter ones.. it also hard to *stop* the motion of heavier objects than the lighter ones.
  • now let's look at the design of the player shoe itself, they have a sharp blade at the bottom of the figure stakes.. which takes us to the law of the force.. the smaller the surface area, the more forces acting on it. So, players force (weight, F= mg) acts on the tip of the blade and on the ice
  • high inertia (run fast) and high force (attack opponent and pass puck) enables them to perform well in playing hockey
  • Thus if there's no resistance and the inertia of the player is high then they could run and pass the puck quickly

The gauge pressure inside an alveolus with a 200 µm radius is 25 mmHg, while the blood pressure outside is only 10 mmHg. Assumin
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The surface tension is 0.0318 N/m and is sufficiently less than the surface tension of the water.

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of an alveolus, R = 200\mu m = 200\times 10^{- 6}\ m

Gauge Pressure inside, P_{in} = 25\ mmHg

Blood Pressure outside, P_{o} = 10\ mmHg

Now,

Change in pressure, \Delta P = 25 - 10 = 15\ mmHg = 1.99\times 10^{3}\ Pa

Since the alveolus is considered to be a spherical shell

The surface tension can be calculated as:

\Delta P = \frac{4\pi T}{R}

T = \frac{1.99\times 10^{3}\times 200\times 10^{- 6}}{4\pi} = 0.0318\ N/m = 0.318\ mN/m

And we know that the surface tension of water is 72.8 mN/m

Thus the surface tension of the alveolus is much lesser as compared to the surface tension of water.

An arrow movirg 48.3 m/s has 5.22<br> kg•m/s of momentum. What is its<br> mass?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

0.11 kg

Explanation:

Ft = MV

Ft = momentum 5.22kg m/s

M = mass

V = velocity 48.3m/s

Therefore

5.22 = M x 48.3

Divide both sides by 48.3

5.22/48.3 = M x 48.3/48.3

0.11 = M

M = 0.11kg
