A person carries a plank of wood 1.6 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holdi

ng it up at 43 cm from the end of the plank with force F2. If the plank has a mass of 13.7 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what is the force F1

Answer: 115.52\ N

Explanation:

Given

Length of plank is 1.6 m

Force F_1 is applied on the left side of plank

Force F_2 is applied 43 cm from the left end O.

Mass of the plank is m=13.7\ kg

for equilibrium

Net torque must be zero. Taking torque about left side of the plank

\Rightarrow mg\times 0.8-F_2\times 0.43=0\\\\\Rightarrow F_2=\dfrac{13.7\times 9.8\times 0.8}{0.43}\\\\\Rightarrow F_2=249.78\ N

Net vertical force must be zero on the plank

\Rightarrow F_1+W-F_2=0\\\Rightarrow F_1=F_2-W\\\Rightarrow F_1=249.78-13.7\times 9.8\\\Rightarrow F_1=115.52\ N

What are the average velocity and average acceleration of the tip of a 2.4 cm long hour hand of a clock?
ra1l [238]
A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:

v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour

Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.

For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.
