Answer:

W = 882.9[J]

Explanation:

In order to be able to calculate the work, we must first calculate the force necessary to lift the box. Since the necessary force is equivalent to the weight of the box, we can determine the weight of the box by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

$w = m*g\\$

where:

w = weight [N]

m = mass = 30 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

$w = 30*9.81\\w = 294.3 [N]$

Now, the work can be calculated multiplying the force (weight) by the distance [m]

$W = w*d\\W = 294.3*3\\W=882.9[J]$

What is the IMA of the following pulley system?<br><br>34567

Lynna [10]

Answer:

IMA of given system = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

Explanation:

The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .

Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by $F_{r}$ . The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. $F_{e}$ .

Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .
Its mathematical reference would be:

IMA = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) $x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$ (1)
