A 90 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and

we can model the situation to see why. Assume that the man has a mass of 90 kg, with a center of gravity 1.0 m above the ground. The action of the wind on his torso, which we approximate as a cylinder 50 cm wide and 90 cm long centered 1.2 m above the ground, produces a force that tries to tip him over backward. To keep from falling over, he must lean forward.
A. What is the magnitude of the torque provided by the wind force? Take the pivot point at his feet. Assume that he is standing vertically. Assume that the air is at standard temperature and pressure.
B. At what angle to the vertical must the man lean to provide a gravitational torque that is equal to this torque due to the wind force?

Answer:

a)  t=195.948N.m

b)  \phi=13.6 \textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density \rho=1.225kg/m^2

Velocity of wind v=14m/s

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient \mu=2.05

a)

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2

F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2

F=163.29

Therefore Torque

t=F*r*sin\theta

t=163.29*1.2*sin90

t=195.948N.m

b)

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

t=d*Mg*sin90

Where

d=sin \phi

Therefore

t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90

195.948=833sin \phi

\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}

\phi=13.6 \textdegree

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

  • An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
  • A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
  • When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
  • So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
  • The apron acts a protective layer.

ASTRONOMY !! PLS HELP!!
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

-- pick a planet from the table

-- take it's mass and radius from the table, and plug them into the big ugly formula above the table

-- do the arithmetic with your pencil or your calculator. The answer is the acceleration of gravity on the planet you picked. Write it down so you don't lose it.

-- do the same for the other 3 planets in the table

Kiley went 5.7 km/h north and then went 5.8 km/h west. From start to finish, she went 8.1 km/h northwest.
TiliK225 [7]
<span>5.7 km/h north and 5.8 km/h west are instantaneous velocities, while 8.1 km/h is the average velocity.

This is because each value has a magnitude and direction so it is a velocity. Moreover, the 8.1 km/h is the resultant of the two velocities so it is the average while the other two are instantaneous.</span>

An atom contains 15 neutrons and has a mass number of 30. What is its atomic number? How did you determine the atomic number?
irinina [24]

Answer:

15

Explanation:

The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is total number of protons. And since we have the mass number and number of neutrons, we can use simple subtraction (30 - 15) to find that the atomic number is 15.
