A refrigerator is 1.8m tall, lm wide,and 0.8m deep.The center of mass is lm from the bottom, 0.5m from the side, and 0.6m from t

he front. it weighs 1300N. When pushing it back into its position in the kitchen, you must push on the front side. If you push horizontally from a height of 1.5m above the bottom, what is the maximum pushing force you can exert to avoid tipping the refrigerator

Answer:

  F = 520 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the rotational equilibrium equation should be used

          Σ τ = 0

Let's set a reference system with the origin at the back of the refrigerator and the counterclockwise rotation as positive. On the x-axis it is horizontal directed outward, eg the horizontal y-axis directed to the side and the z-axis vertical

Torque is

             τ = F x r

the bold indicate vectors, we analyze each force

the applied force is horizontal along the -x axis, the arm (perpendicular distance) is directed in the z axis,

The weight of the body is the vertical direction of the z-axis, so the arm is on the x-axis

                 -F z + W x = 0

                 F z = W x

                 F =  \frac{x}{z}  W

             

The exercise indicates the point of application of the force z = 1.5 m and the weight is placed in the center of mass of the body x = 0.6 m, we are assuming that the force is applied in the wide center of the refrigerator

let's calculate

                 F = 1300 0.6 / 1.5

                 F = 520 N

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius  r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is  ∝ v²

so we can say

\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}    .....................1

put here value

\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}  

solve it

v2 = \sqrt{2 } × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

GaryK [48]

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the carousel at the State Fair, Mary's and Alex's  angular speed M and tangential speed vM is mathematically given as

Mary's and Alex's  angular speed=1.43

Tangential speed mary=3.22 m/s

Tangential speed alex =2.260m/s

<h3>What is Mary's and Alex's angular speed M and tangential speed vM?</h3>

Generally, the equation for angular speed is mathematically given as

w=2\pi /T\\\\Therefore\\\\w=2\pi/3.9

w = 1.61 rev/see 3.9

Centripetal acc mary = v^2/r

Centripetal acc mary  = w^2r

Centripetal acc mary = w^2x 2m

Centripetal acc. of Alex = w²x L.u

Therefore

\frac{(ac) mary }{(ac) plex}= 1.43

Hence

tang. speed V=Wr

tang. speed of mary = 1.61x2 = 3.22 m/s

tang. speed of Alex: 1.61X1·4 =2.260m/s

A mass of 13kg stretches a spring 14cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 6sin(t/2)N and moves in a medium that impar
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

13u\prime\prime+33.33u\prime+910u=6sin\frac{t}{2}, \ u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04\\

#Where u is in meters and t in seconds.

Explanation:

Given that :m=13.0kg, \ L=0.14m, \ F(t)=6sin\frac{t}{2}N, F_d(t*)=-4N^{-1}, u\prime(t*)=0.12m/s\\u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04m/s

From \omega=kL we have:

k=\frac{\omega}{L}=\frac{mg}{0.14m}=\frac{13.0\times 9.8m/s}{0.14m}\\\\k=910kg/s^2

From F_d(t)=-\gamma u\prime(t) we have that:

\gamma=-\frac{F_d(t*)}{u\prime(t*)}=\frac{4N}{0.12m/s}\\=33.33Ns/m

Now,given that the initial value problem is given by:

13u\prime\prime+33.33u\prime+910u=6sin\frac{t}{2}, \ u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04\\

Hence,the position of u at time t is given by

13u\prime\prime+33.33u\prime+910u=6sin\frac{t}{2}, \ u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04\\, u in meters,t in seconds.
