Answer:

The force the construction crew must apply to the lever is 266.67 N

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system. Hence, mechanical advantage (MA) is given by the formula

MA = \frac{F_{o} }{F_{i} }

Where MA is the mechanical advantage

F_{o} is the output force

and F_{i} is the input force

From the question, the mechanical advantage of the lever is 6

That is, MA = 6

and the lever applies a force of 1600 N to the rock

That is, Output force, F_{o} = 1600 N

To determine the force the construction crew must apply to the lever, that is the input force, F_{i}

From

MA = \frac{F_{o} }{F_{i} }

We can write that

F_{i}  = \frac{F_{o} }{MA}

Then,

F_{i} = \frac{1600N}{6}

F_{i} = 266.67 N

Hence, the force the construction crew must apply to the lever is 266.67 N.

A force does 30000 J of work along a distance of 9.5m. Find the applied force.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: F=3158N

Explanation:

Work is the product of force applied and the distance the object moves along the force applied. Work is measured in joules and the equation is as follows

W = F x d

So that F = W/d

F = 30000 J / 9.5m

F = ~3158 N

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.148 kg baseball crashing through the pane
mr_godi [17]

Explanation:

Mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 14.5 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = 11.5 m/s

After crashing through the pane of a second-floor window, the ball shatters the glass as it passes through, and leaves the window at 11.5 m/s with no change of direction. So, the direction of the impulse that the glass imparts to the baseball is in opposite direction to the direction of the balls path.

The change in momentum of the ball is called impulse. It is given by :

J=m(v-u)\\\\J=0.148\times (11.5-14.5) \\\\J=-0.444\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=0.444\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
