A 10 kg mass rests on a table. What acceleration will be generated when a force of 5 N is applied? a 0.5 m/s2 b 3.5 m/s2 c 5 m/s

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a= 0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Force applied on an object is known as

F=m.a (Newton's second law states it)

a=F/m

a=5/10=0.5m/s^2

Determine the components of reaction at the fixed support

denis-greek [22]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The components of reaction at the fixed support are

$A_{(x)} = 400 \ N$ , $A_{(y)} = -500 \ N$ , $A_{(z)} = 600 \ N$ , $M_x = 1225 \ N\cdot m$ , $M_y = 750 \ N\cdot m$ , $M_z = 0 \ N\cdot m$

Explanation:

Looking at the diagram uploaded we see that there are two forces acting along the x-axis on the fixed support

These force are 400 N and $A_{(x)}$ [ i.e the reactive force of 400 N ]

Hence the sum of forces along the x axis is mathematically represented as

$A_{(x)} - 400 = 0$

=> $A_{(x)} = 400 \ N$

Looking at the diagram uploaded we see that there are two forces acting along the y-axis on the fixed support

These force are 500 N and $A_{(y)}$ [ i.e the force acting along the same direction with 500 N ]

Hence the sum of forces along the x axis is mathematically represented as

$A_{(y)} + 500 = 0$

=> $A_{(y)} = -500 \ N$

Looking at the diagram uploaded we see that there are two forces acting along the z-axis on the fixed support

These force are 600 N and $A_{(z)}$ [ i.e the reactive force of 600 N ]

Hence the sum of forces along the x axis is mathematically represented as

$A_{(z)} - 600 = 0$

=> $A_{(z)} = 600 \ N$

Generally taking moment about A along the x-axis we have that

$\sum M_x = M_x - 500 (0.75 + 0.5) + 600 ( 1 ) = 0$

=> $M_x = 1225 \ N\cdot m$

Generally taking moment about A along the y-axis we have that

$\sum M_y = M_y - 400 (0.75 ) + 600 ( 0.75 ) = 0$

=> $M_y = 750 \ N\cdot m$

Generally taking moment about A along the z-axis we have that

$\sum M_z = M_z = 0$

=> $M_z = 0 \ N\cdot m$
