A large crane consists of a 20 m, 3,000 kg arm that extends horizontally on top of a vertical tower. The arm extends 15 m toward

s the lifting end and 5 m towards the counterweight. If the crane is to lift a 5,000 kg load, what must the weight of the counterweight be in order to maintain static equilibrium

Answer:

$m=18000kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Crane Length $l=20m$

Crane Mass $m_a=3000kg$

Arm extension at lifting end $l_l=15m$

Arm extension at counter weight end $l_c=5m$

Load $M_l=5000kg$

Generally the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

$T_1 *l_c-(m_a*g) *l_c-(T_2)*l_l=0$

$mg*5 *-(3000*9.8) *5-(5000*9.8)*15=0$

$m=18000kg$

The vacuum pressure of a condenser is given to be 80 kpa. if the atmospheric pressure is 98 kpa, what is the gage pressure and a

dimaraw [331]

The absolute pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}-P_{vac}$

Here, $P_{abs}$ is absolute pressure, $P_{atm}$ is atmospheric pressure and $P_{vac}$ is vacuum pressure.

Therefore,

$P_{abs}=98 kPa-80 kPa=18kPa$

The gage pressure is given by the equation,

$P_{gage}=P_{abs}-P_{atm}$ .

Thus,

$P_{gage}=18kPa-98 kPa=-80 kPa$ .

In kn/m^2,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =18\ kN/m^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1kN/m^2}{kPa}) =-80\ kN/m^2$ .

In lbf/in2

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=2.6\ lbf/in^2$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45\times 10^{-1}\ lbf/in^2 }{1kPa} )=-11.6\ lbf/in^2$

In psi,

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18\ kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa})=2.610\ psi$ .

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{1.45037738\times 10^{-1}\ psi }{1kPa} )=-11.6030\ psi$

In mm Hg

The absolute pressure,

$P_{abs}=18kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})= 135\ mm\ of\ Hg$

The gage pressure,

$P_{gage}=-80kPa(\frac{7.5\ mm\ of\ Hg }{1\ kPa})=-600\ mm\ of\ Hg$

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances. Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.

. A 13-g goldfinch has a speed of 8.5 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

lesya692 [45]

PLEASE PRESS THE “Thanks!” BUTTON! :)
13 g —> 0.013 kg
KE = 1/2(m)(v)^2
KE = 1/2(0.013)(8.5)^2
KE = 0.47 J
