A 38.5 kg man is in an elevator that is moving at a constant speed. How much normal force is being exerted on him?

Answer:

Force = mass times acceleration

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

The elevator is moving at constant velocity. That means there is no net force on the elevator. Gravity is still acting on the elevator but the tension of cables, friction and other mechanism are cancelling out the acceleration due to gravity. The same as an elevator being held at a floor.

The normal force is the force exerted by surfaces the to stop you from passing through. It is perpendicular to the surface the object is on, in this case the 38.5kg person. It being an elevator I am assuming the floor is perpendicular to the force of gravity. Normal force is equal to the force being exerted on it, in this scenario the persons mass x acceleration due to gravity.

So your answer is 38.5kg x 9.81m/s^2 = 377.685N

Raw sewage is raised vertically by 5.49m in the amountof
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

          P = 1235.7646 W

Explanation:

Given data:

height of raised sewage = 5.49 m

rate of sewage =1.89*10^6 lt/day

density of sewage = 1.050 kg/m^3

power is written as

P = \frac{work}{time}

work  = m g h

m - mass = ( \rho V)

  h -height

mass lifted per day = ( 1.89*10^6)(1.050)

                              = 1984500 kg

time = 24 hours* 3600 seconds per hour

powerP = \frac{( 1984500)(9.8)( 5.49)}{(24)(3600)}

          P = 1235.7646 W
