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

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

When three identical bulbs of 60W,200V rating are connected in series at a 200V supply the power drawn by them will be?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

P = 180 [w]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which is defined by the following formula.

V = I*R & P = V*I

where:

V = voltage = 200[volts]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

P = power [watts]

Since the bulbs are connected in series, the powers should be summed

P = 60 + 60 + 60

P = 180 [watts]

Now we can calculate the current

I = 180/200

I = 0.9[amp]

Attached is an image where we see the three bulbs connected in series, in the circuit we see that the current is the same for all the elements connected to the circuit.

And the power is defined by P = V*I

we know that the voltage is equal to 200[V], therefore

P = 200*0.9

P = 180 [w]
