Answer:

4000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the man = 800N

Height of ladder = 5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy gained = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is due to the position of a body.

Gravitational potential energy = weight x height

Now insert the parameters;

Gravitational potential energy = 800 x 5 = 4000J

For the material in the previous question that yields at 200 MPa, what is the maximum mass, in kg, that a cylindrical bar with d

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The maximum mass the bar can support without yielding = 32408.26 kg

Explanation:

Yield stress of the material ( $\sigma$ ) = 200 M Pa

Diameter of the bar = 4.5 cm = 45 mm

We know that yield stress of the bar is given by the formula

Yield Stress = $\frac{Maximum load}{Area of the bar}$

⇒ $\sigma$ = $\frac{P_{max} }{A}$ ---------------- (1)

⇒ Area of the bar (A) = $\frac{\pi}{4}$ × $D^{2}$

⇒ A = $\frac{\pi}{4}$ × $45^{2}$

⇒ A = 1589.625 $mm^{2}$

Put all the values in equation (1) we get

⇒ $P_{max}$ = 200 × 1589.625

⇒ $P_{max}$ = 317925 N

In this bar the $P_{max}$ is equal to the weight of the bar.

⇒ $P_{max}$ = $M_{max}$ × g

Where $M_{max}$ is the maximum mass the bar can support.

⇒ $M_{max}$ = $\frac{P_{max} }{g}$

Put all the values in the above formula we get

⇒ $M_{max}$ = $\frac{317925}{9.81}$

⇒ $M_{max}$ = 32408.26 Kg

There fore the maximum mass the bar can support without yielding = 32408.26 kg

The young tree was bent and has been brought into a vertical position by the three guy cables. If tension at AB = 0, AC = 10 lb,

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The young tree, originally bent, has been brought into the vertical position by adjusting the three guy-wire tensions to AB = 7 lb, AC = 8 lb, and AD = 10 lb. Determine the force and moment reactions at the trunk base point O. Neglect the weight of the tree.

C and D are 3.1' from the y axis B and C are 5.4' away from the x axis and A has a height of 5.2'

Explanation:

See attached picture.
