Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.91 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{343}{38.5}  =  \frac{98}{11}  \\  = 8.909090...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.91 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 44.0 kg uniform rod 4.90 m long is attached to a wall with a hinge at one end. The rod is held in a horizontal position by a w
pychu [463]

Answer:

x ≤ 3.6913 m

Explanation:

Given

Mrod = 44.0 kg

L = 4.90 m

Tmax = 1450 N

Mman = 69 kg

A: left end of the rod

B: right end of the rod

x = distance from the left end to the man

If we take torques around the left end as follows

∑τ = 0   ⇒   - Wrod*(L/2) - Wman*x + T*Sin 30º*L = 0

⇒   - (Mrod*g)*(L/2) - (Mman*g)*x + Tmax*Sin 30º*L = 0

⇒  -  (44*9.8)*(4.9/2) - (69*9.8)*x + (1450)*(0.5)*(4.9) = 0

⇒ x ≤ 3.6913 m
