(a) You wish to determine the height of the smokestack of a local coal burning power plant. You convince a member of the mainten

ance crew to mount the support for a simple pendulum at the top of the stack and you suspend a 1.00 kg mass that just misses the ground at its lowest point from the pendulum cord. If the period of the pendulum is 18.7 s, determine the height of the smokestack. 8455.69 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. What factors influence the period of a simple pendulum

Answer:

a. 86.80 m

b. i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

Explanation:

a. Determine the height of the smokestack.

Using T = 2π√(L/g) where T = period of pendulum = 18.7 s, L = length of pendulum = height of smokestack and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

So, making L subject of the formula, we have

T = 2π√(L/g)

T/2π = √(L/g)

squaring both sides, we have

(T/2π)² = L/g

L = (T/2π)²g

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L = (T/2π)²g

L = (18.7 s/2π)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = (2.976 s)²(9.8 m/s²)

L = 8.857 s² × 9.8 m/s²

L = 86.796 m

L ≅ 86.80 m

b. What factors influence the period of a simple pendulum

The factors that influence the period of a simple pendulum are

i. The mass of the bob

ii. The length of the pendulum

How t calculate gravitational force
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

F=G(m1m2)/Rsquare if radius is given

F=G(m1m2)/dsquare if distance is given

where,

f =gravitational force

G =gravitational constant

m1=mass of one object

m2=mass of another object

d=distance between two object from their center r=radius of earth/planet

A person weighing 0.9 kN rides in an elevator that has a downward acceleration of 1.9 m/s^2. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 0.7255kN

Explanation:

The elevator floor acts on the person with a force that is due to the gravitational acceleration less the downward acceleration of the elevator:

(force of floor F) = (mass of person m) x [ (grav. acceleration g) - (elevator acceleration a) ]

in other words, considering the elevator floor as a reference frame in the Earth's gravitational field, the person's weight decreases due to the downward acceleration, as follows:

F = m\cdot(g-a)

We are given the person's weight at rest, 0.9kN, from which the mass can be determined as:

900 N = m\cdot g \implies m = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}

So

F = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}\cdot(9.8-1.9)\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 725.5N=0.7255kN

If the mass of the block is 5 kg and the speed 7 m/s, what is the work done <br> on the block?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A block of mass M = 5 kg is resting on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of friction is 0.2. When a force F = 40N is applied, the acceleration of the block will be then (g=10ms

2 ).

Mass of the block=5kg

Coeffecient of friction=0.2

external applied force, F=40N

The angle at which the force is applied=30degree

So the horizontal component of force=Fcos30=40×

23 =20 3 N

While the uertical component of the force acting in upward direction=Fsin30=40× 21

​ =20N

The normal reaction from the surface (N)=mg−Fsin30=50−20=30N

So the ualue of limiting friction=μN=0.2×30=6N

Hence the net horizontal force on the block=Fcos30=μN=20

3

​

N−6N=28.64N

The horizontal acceleration of the block=

m

Fcos30−μN = 528.64

​  =5.73m/s 2
