Answer:

The amount of effort needed to move the box is 187.5 N

Explanation:

weight of the box = load moved by the ramp, L = 750 N

mechanical advantage of the ramp, MA = 4

effort needed to move the box, E = ?

Mechanical advantage is given as = Load / Effort

Effort = Load / Mechanical advantage

Effort = 750 / 4

Effort = 187.5 N

Therefore, the amount of effort needed to move the box on to the truck using a ramp is 187.5 N

A man pushes on piano with mass 170 kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 20.0 ∘ above the horizont
nikdorinn [45]

Answer

given,                            

mass of the piano = 170 kg              

angle of the inclination = 20°                

moves with constant velocity hence acceleration = 0 m/s²    

neglecting friction                                  

so, force required to pull the piano                    

F = m g sin θ                                                      

F = 170 × 9.81 × sin 20°                                        

F = 570.39 N                                                    

so, force required by the man to push the piano is F = 570.39 N

The Moon and Earth rotate about their common center of mass, which is located about RcM 4700 km from the center of Earth. (This
erica [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.

PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

d = Distance

M = Mass

R_{CM} = Radius earth center of mass

PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,

g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}

g = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(7.35*10^{22})}{(3.84*10^8-4700*10^3)^2}

g = 3.4*10^{-5}m/s^2

PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

a_c = \omega^2 r

Replacing

a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 r

a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{26.3d(\frac{86400s}{1days})})^2 (4700*10^3m)

a_c = 3.34*10^{-5}m/s^2
