Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet  m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ =  0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

\sum f_y =0

The upward force and the downward force is :

N_A+N_B = mg

where;

\mathbf { N_A  \ and  \ N_B} are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

N_A+N_B = 45*9.8

N_A+N_B = 441    ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

\sum f_x = 0

F_A +F_B  = P

where ;

\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B } are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B  = P

\mu_s( N_A +  N_B)  = P

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)    

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for  the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition  of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at N_A and it is shifted to N_B:  

Then:

\sum M _B = 0

P*h = mg*0.24

h =\frac{45*9.8*0.24}{132.3}

h = 0.8 m

Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

A frequently quoted rule of thumb in aircraft design is that wings should produce about 1000 N of lift per square meter of wing.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

    v₂ = 63.62 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise in fluid mechanics we will use Bernoulli's equation

         P₁ + ρ g v₁² +  ρ g y₁ = P₂ +  ρ g v₂² +  ρ g y₂

where the subscript 1 refers to the inside of the wing and the subscript 2 to the top of the wing.

We will assume that the distance between the two parts is small, so y₁ = y₂

        P₁-P₂ =  ρ g (v₂² - v₁²)

pressure is defined by

        P = F / A

we substitute

        ΔF / A =  ρ g (v₂² - v₁²)

         v₂² = \frac{\Delta F}{A \ \rho  \ g} + v_1^2

suppose that the area of ​​the wing is A = 1 m²

we substitute

         v₂² = \frac{1000}{1 \ 1.29 \ 9.8} + 63^2

         v₂² = 79.10 + 3969

         v₂ = √4048.1

         v₂ = 63.62 m / s
