Answer:

x = 0.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive

          ∑ τ = 0

          60 1.5 - 78 1.5 + 30 x = 0

where x is measured from the left side of the fulcrum

           90 - 117 + 30 x = 0

           x = 27/30

           x = 0.9 m       

In summary the center of mass is on the side of the lightest weight x = 0.9 m

A purse at radius 2.30 m and a wallet at radius 3.45 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wallet is 3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of purse r= 2.30 m

Radius of wallet r'= 3.45 m

Acceleration of the purse a=2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j}

We need to calculate the acceleration of the wallet

Using formula of acceleration

a=r\omega^2

Both the purse and wallet have same angular velocity

\omega=\omega'

\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{r}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{a'}{r'}}

\dfrac{a}{r}=\dfrac{a'}{r'}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{r'}{r}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3.45}{2.30}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3}{2}

a'=\dfrac{3}{2}\times(2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j})

a'=3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

Hence, The acceleration of the wallet is 3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) 2nd case rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball

b) 1534.98 m/s^2

c) 1515.04 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) v = ωR

when R = 0.60, ω = 8.05×2π

v = 0.60×8.05×2π = 30.34 m/s

Now in 2nd case

when R = 0.90, ω = 6.53×2π

v = 0.90×6.53×2π = 36.92 m/s

6.35 rev/s gives greater speed for the ball.

(b) a = ω^2 R = (8.05×2π)^2 )(0.60) = 1534.98 m/s^2

(c) a = ω^2 R = (6.53×2π)^2 )(0.90) = 1515.05 m/s^2
