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}

Set up the equation to find the AREA of the SMALL rectangle with a length of (x) and width (x+7)
Igoryamba

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>( x ) x ( x + 7 ) </h3>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the area of a rectangle, we have to multiply the length with the width.

In the question, the given length is 'x' and the width given is 'x +7'

So, the area would be

( x ) x ( x + 7 )

The area = x^{2} + 7x

So, the equation to find the area of such a rectangle would be:-

( x ) x ( x + 7 )

Look at the figure, . Find the values of ​x and y. x = 5, y = 7 x = 6, y = 8 x = 6, y = 9 x = 7, y = 10
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

x = 6, y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the properties of a parallelogram is

The diagonals bisect each other, hence

2x = y + 3 → (1)

2y = 3x → (2)

Rearrange (1) in terms of y by subtracting 3 from both sides

y = 2x - 3 → (3)

Substitute y = 2x - 3 into (2)

2(2x - 3) = 3x ← distribute left side

4x - 6 = 3x ( add 6 to both sides )

4x = 3x + 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x = 6

Substitute x = 6 into (3) for value of y

y = (2 × 6) - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9

Hence x = 6 and y = 9

Answer:

a median

b center

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle value of a set of numbers is the median

The mean is the average value and the range is the largest minus the smallest.

This value is  a measure of the center ( or a measure of the middle)

The range is a measure of the spread

There are 750 toothpicks in a regular sized box. If a jumbo box is made by doubling all the dimensions of the regular sized box,
Serga [27]

To answer this, let the 3 sides of the regular sized rectangular box be x, y, and z.

When we double all the sides, the new sides have lengths 2x, 2y, and 2z, respectively.

Since the regular box (with dimensions x,y, and z) have 750 toothpicks, we can write

xyz=750

Similarly we can write for the jumbo box as,

(2x)(2y)(2z)

which is equal to 8(xyz)

So this is 8 times the original of xyz. Hence the jumbo box will have 8 times 750 number of toothpicks.

ANSWER: 8*750=6000 toothpicks
