Answer:
If a vertical line extending down from an object's CG extends outside its area of support, the object will topple
Explanation:
We can understand better this situation using a diagram with the forces acting on it.
In the attached image we can see that when the gravity center is bouncing outside from the area of the pedestal, the object will be out of balance and will fall.
Answer:
∅ = 89.44°
Explanation:
In situations like this air resistance are usually been neglected thereby making g= 9.81 m/
Bring out the given parameters from the question:
Initial Velocity () = 1000 m/s
Target distance (d) = 2000 m
Target height (h) = 800 m
Projection angle ∅ = ?
Horizontal distance = tcos ∅ .......................... Equation 1
where = velocity in the X - direction
t = Time taken
Vertical Distance = y = t -
g
................... Equation 2
Where = Velocity in the Y- direction
t = Time taken
=
sin∅
Making time (t) subject of the formula in Equation 1
t = d/(cos ∅)
t = =
=
...................Equation 3
substituting equation 3 into equation 2
Vertical Distance = d =
-
g
Vertical Distance = h = sin∅ -
g
Vertical Distance = h = dtan∅ - g
Applying geometry
=
+ 1
Vertical Distance = h = d tan∅ - 2 g ( + 1)
substituting the given parameters
800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 2 (9.81)( + 1)
800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 19.6( + 1) Equation 4
Replacing tan ∅ = Q .....................Equation 5
In order to get a quadratic equation that can be easily solve.
800 = 2000 Q - 19.6 + 19.6
Rearranging 19.6 - 2000 Q + 780.4 = 0
= 101.6291
= 0.411
Inserting the value of Q Into Equation 5
tan ∅ = 101.63 or tan ∅ = 0.4114
Taking the Tan inverse of each value of Q
∅ = 89.44° ∅ = 22.37°
