Fscos63

Explanation:

Given that a horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building. There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall. There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P?

Taking the moment from the pivot point P, that means the moment at point p = 0

Then, if we consider the weight mg of the pole, according to the principle of equilibrium : sum of the upward forces equal to the sum of the downward forces.

Therefore, mg = Fsinø ....... (1)

Also, taking moment at point P

Let the length of the pole = s

The length of the weight of the pole = 1/2 S

Fscosø = mgs/2

The distance s will cancel out

2Fcosø = mg ...... (3)

Substitute mg in equation 1 into equation 3

2fcosø = fsinø

F will cancel out

Tanø = 2

Ø = tan^-1(2)

Ø = 63.4 degree

The moment of force F about pivot point P will be

Moment = force × distance

Moment = Fcos63 × S

Moment = Fscos63

A uniform electric field of 2 kNC-1 is in the x-direction. A point charge of 3 μC initially at rest at the origin is released. W

ANEK [815]

The electric force acting on the charge is given by the charge multiplied by the electric field intensity:
$F=qE$
where in our problem $q=3 \mu C= 3 \cdot 10^{-6} C$ and $E=2 kN/C=2000 N/C$ , so the force is
$F=(3 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(2000 N/C)=0.006 N$

The initial kinetic energy of the particle is zero (because it is at rest), so its final kinetic energy corresponds to the work done by the electric force for a distance of x=4 m:
$K(4 m)=W=Fd=(0.006 N)(4 m)=0.024 J$

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike

allsm [11]

<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>

Two firefighters are trying to break through a door. One firefighter is heavy, and the other is light. If they run at the same s

frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects. As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.

A 15 kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light ropewrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diamter withmass 12.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

$F = 159.7 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

While bucket is falling downwards we have force equation of the bucket given as

$mg - T = ma$

for uniform cylinder we will have

$TR = I\alpha$

so we have

$T = \frac{1}{2}MR^2(\frac{a}{R^2})$

$T = \frac{1}{2}Ma$

now we have

$mg = (\frac{M}{2} + m)a$

$a = \frac{mg}{(\frac{M}{2} + m)}$

$a = \frac{15 \times 9.81}{(6 + 15)}$

$a = 7 m/s^2$

now we have

$T = \frac{12 \times 7}{2}$

$T = 42 N$

Part b)

speed of the bucket can be found using kinematics

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(7)(10)$

$v_f = 11.8 m/s$

Part c)

now in order to find the time of fall we can use another equation

$v_f - v_i = at$

$11.8 - 0 = 7 t$

$t = 1.7 s$

Part d)

as we know that cylinder is at rest and not moving downwards

so here we can use force balance

$F = T + Mg$

$F = 42 + (12 \times 9.81)$

$F = 159.7 N$

What is lighting and lighting conductor

Igoryamba

Answer:

Lightning is a process that occurs when the positive and negative charges present in the cloud build up in such a manner that a spark of lightning occurs between the two of them in the cloud. ... A metal rod placed on top of a building to protect it from a lightning strike is known as a lightning conductor.
