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

10. Solve the following numerical problems
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 120 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Work is equal to the product of force and distance.

W=F*d

The force is 8 Newtons and the distance is 15 meters.

F= 8 \ N \\d= 15 \ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

W= 8 \ N * 15 \ m

Multiply.

W= 120 \ N*m

  • 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule
  • Our answer of 120 N*m equals 120 J

W= 120 \ J

The work done is <u>120 Joules</u>

When the mirror is rotated, the normal will turn as well, but will the incident Ray and reflected ray turn?
Inessa [10]

When a mirror is rotated . . .

-- The incident ray doesn't turn.  It's just the line from the source to the mirror. 
It would be there, in the same place, even if there was no mirror.

-- The normal turns.  It's the line perpendicular to the mirror, so it must turn
with the mirror.

-- Since the normal tuns and the incident ray doesn't, the angle between them
must change.  And since the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of
the incident ray, the reflected ray must also turn.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .
