Answer:
A) B = 24 ft
B) H = 24.08 ft
C) M.A = 12.04
D) P = 13.7 lb
Explanation:
A)
Minimum allowable length of base of ramp can be found as follows:
Slope = H/B
where,
Slope = 1/12
H = Height of Ramp = 2 ft
B = Length of Base of Ramp = ?
Therefore,
1/12 = 2 ft/B
B = 2 ft * 12
<u>B = 24 ft</u>
B)
The length of the slope of ramp can be found by using pythagora's theorem:
L = √H² + B²
where,
H = Perpendicular = height = 2 ft
B = Base = Length of Base of Ramp = 24 ft
L = Hypotenuse = Length of Slope of Ramp = ?
Therefore,
H = √[(2 ft)² + (24 ft)²]
<u>H = 24.08 ft</u>
D)
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is given by the following formula:
M.A = L/H
M.A = 24.08 ft/2 ft
<u>M.A = 12.04</u>
D)
Another general formula for Mechanical Advantage is:
M.A = W/P
where,
W = Ideal Load = 165 lb
P = Ideal Effort Force = ?
Therefore,
12.04 = 165 lb/P
P = 165 lb/12.04
<u>P = 13.7 lb</u>
Explanation:
When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)
Answer:
14.035087719298246 ≈ 14 hours
Explanation:
just subtract the 4000 and the 11000 from 23000 which gives you 8000. And then divide that my 570
