A uniform 41.0 kg scaffold of length 6.6 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. A 74.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from

the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.4 m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables (in N) and the mass of the equipment (in kg). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

m_p = mass of the painter

m_s = mass of the scaffold

m_e = mass of the equipment

T = tension in the cables

In order for this scaffold to remain in equilibrium, the net force and torque on it must be zero. The net force acting on the scaffold can be written as

3T = (m_p + m_s + m_e)g\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)

Set this aside and let's look at the net torque on the scaffold. Assume the counterclockwise direction to be the positive direction for the rotation. The pivot point is chosen so that one of the unknown quantities is eliminated. Let's choose our pivot point to be the location of m_e. The net torque on the scaffold is then

T(1.4\:\text{m}) + m_sg(1.9\:\text{m}) + m_pg(4.2\:\text{m}) - 2T(5.2\:\text{m}) = 0

Solving for T,

9T = m_sg(1.9\:\text{m}) + m_pg(4.2\:\text{m})

or

T = \frac{1}{9}[m_sg(1.9\:\text{m}) + m_pg(4.2\:\text{m})]

\:\:\:\:= 423.3\:\text{N}

To solve for the the mass of the equipment m_e, use the value for T into Eqn(1):

m_e = \dfrac{3T - (m_p + m_s)g}{g} = 14.6\:\text{kg}

An exceptionally bright high school student has applied for two scholarships: a merit scholarship and an athletic scholarship. H
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) 0.70

b) 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Let M be the event that student get merit scholarship and A be the event that student get athletic scholarship.

P(M)=0.3

P(A)=0.6

P(M∩A)=0.08

P(not getting merit scholarships)=P(M')=?

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-P(M)

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-0.3

P(not getting merit scholarships)=0.7

The probability that student not get the merit scholarship is 70%.

b)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M or A)=P(M∪A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M)+P(A)-P(M∩A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.3+0.6-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.9-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.82

The probability that student gets at least one of two scholarships is 82%.

Look at the picture. Solve for y
Mumz [18]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation:</u>

m<DGF = m<DGE + m<EGF

<u>Given:</u>

m<DGF = 12y - 5

m<DGE = 5y + 6

m<EGF = 24

<u />

<u>Work:</u>

m<DGF = m<DGE + m<EGF

12y - 5 = 5y + 6 + 24

12y - 5 = 5y + 30

12y - 5y = 30 + 5

7y = 35

y = 5
