A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

The speed of a 500 g cricket ball changes from 10m/s to 30m/s in just 7 seconds. What is the force acting on the cart?
9966 [12]

The force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

To calculate the force acting on the cart, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • F = m(v-u)/t................. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force acting on the cart
  • m = mass of the cart
  • v = Final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • t = time

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
  • v = 30 m/s
  • u = 10 m/s
  • t = 7 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • F = 0.5(30-10)/7
  • F = 10/7
  • F = 1.43 N.

Hence, the force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.
