The person in the middle weighs 500 n, and the tension on the rope is 400 n. what is the weight of the scaffolding?

1 answer:

7 0

Typically a scaffolding has two ropes to support it. One on the left most side while the other one is on the right most side. Based on equilibrium rule, the summation of forces must be 0. The downward force is the weight of person and scaffolding, while the upward force are the tensions on the two ropes, hence:

Weight person + Weight scaffolding = 2 * Tension

500 N + Weight scaffolding = 2 * 400 N

Weight scaffolding = 300 N

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th

vlabodo [156]

Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

1. A hydraulic lift is to be used to lift a truck masses 5000 kg. If the diameter of the

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

a) F = 4.9 10⁴ N, b) F₁ = 122.5 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use that the pressure is transmitted throughout the entire fluid, being the same for the same height

1) pressure is defined by the relation

P = F / A

to lift the weight of the truck the force of the piston must be equal to the weight of the truck

∑F = 0

F-W = 0

F = W = mg

F = 5000 9.8

F = 4.9 10⁴ N

the area of the pisto is

A = pi r²

A = pi d² / 4

A = pi 1 ^ 2/4

A = 0.7854 m²

pressure is

P = 4.9 104 / 0.7854

P = 3.85 104 Pa

2) Let's find a point with the same height on the two pistons, the pressure is the same

$\frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2}$

where subscript 1 is for the small piston and subscript 2 is for the large piston

F₁ = $\frac{A_1}{A_2} \ F_2$

the force applied must be equal to the weight of the truck

F₁ = $( \frac{d_1}{d_2} )^2\ m g$

F₁ = (0.05 / 1) ² 5000 9.8

F₁ = 122.5 N

What factors affect attractive force

Inga [223]

Two Factors That Affect How Much Gravity Is on an Object. Gravity is the force that gives weight to objects and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Two major factors, mass and distance, affect the strength of gravitational force on an object.
