You are out and about in the country and your father sees a rock that he really wants in the yard. Now you must get the very hea

vy rock into the back of a truck. The truck bed is 3 feet off the ground. Your father pulls out a 5-foot plank and begins to set up a ramp. At the same time, you have found a plank that is 8 feet long, and you show it to your father.
1. Which plank will give you the most mechanical advantage?

Answers:

a) \hat F=(0.83,-0.55) N

b) \hat D=(-0.44,-0.89) m

c) \hat V=(-0.47,0.88) m/s

Explanation:

A unit vector is a vector whose magnitude (length) is equal to 1. This kind of vector is identified as \hat v and the way to calculate is as follows:

\hat v=\frac{\vec v}{|v|}

Where:

\vec v=(x,y) is the vector

|v|=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} is the magnitude of the vector

Having this information clarified, let's begin with the answers:

a) Force Vector

\vec F=(9.0 \hat i - 6.0 \hat j) N

Magnitude of \vec F:

|F|=\sqrt{(9.0 \hat i)^{2}+(-6.0 \hat j)^{2 }}N=10.81 N

<u />

<u>Unit vector:</u>

\hat F=\frac{\vec F}{|F|}

\hat F=\frac{(9.0 \hat i - 6.0 \hat j) N}{10.81 N}

\hat F=\frac{9.0}{10.81} N-\frac{6.0}{10.81}N

\hat F=(0.83,-0.55) N

b) Displacement Vector

\vec D=(-4.0 \hat i - 8.0 \hat j) m

Magnitude of \vec D:

|D|=\sqrt{(-4.0 \hat i)^{2}+(-8.0 \hat j)^{2 }}m=8.94 m

<u />

<u>Unit vector:</u>

\hat D=\frac{\vec D}{|D|}

\hat D=\frac{(-4.0 \hat i - 8.0 \hat j) m}{8.94 m}

\hat D=\frac{-4.0}{8.94} Nm+\frac{-8.0}{8.94}m

\hat D=(-0.44,-0.89) m

c) Velocity Vector

\vec V=(-3.50 \hat i + 6.50 \hat j) m/s

Magnitude of \vec V:

|V|=\sqrt{(-3.50 \hat i)^{2}+(6.50 \hat j)^{2}}m/s=7.38 m/s

<u />

<u>Unit vector:</u>

\hat V=\frac{\vec V}{|V|}

\hat V=\frac{(-3.50 \hat i +6.50 \hat j) m/s}{7.38 m/s}

\hat V=\frac{-3.50}{7.38} m/s+\frac{6.50}{7.38}m/s

\hat V=(-0.47,0.88) m/s

Consider the differential equation
Zielflug [23.3K]
Yp(t) = A1 t^2 + A0 t + B0 t e(4t)

=> y ' = 2A1t + A0 + B0 [e^(4t) +4 te^(4t) ]

     y ' = 2A1t + A0 + B0e^(4t) + 4B0 te^(4t)

=> y '' = 2A1 + 4B0e(4t) + 4B0 [ e^(4t) + 4te^(4t)

     y '' = 2A1 + 4B0e^(4t) + 4B0e^(4t) + 16B0te^(4t)

Now substitute the values of y ' and y '' in the differential equation:

 
<span>y′′+αy′+βy=t+e^(4t)


</span> 2A1 + 4B0e^(4t) + 4B0e^(4t) + 16B0te^(4t) + α{2A1t + A0 + B0e^(4t) + 4B0 te^(4t) } + β{A1 t^2 + A0 t + B0 t e(4t)} = t + e^(4t)

Next, we equate coefficients

1) Constant terms of the left side = constant terms of the right side:

2A1+ 2αA0 = 0 ..... eq (1)

2) Coefficients of e^(4t) on both sides

8B0 + αB0 = 1 => B0 (8 + α) = 1 .... eq (2)

3) Coefficients on t

2αA1 + βA0 = 1 .... eq (3)


4) Coefficients on t^2

βA1 = 0 ....eq (4)

given that A1 ≠ 0 => β =0

5) terms on te^(4t)

16B0 + 4αB0 + βB0 = 0 => B0 (16 + 4α + β) = 0 ... eq (5)

Given that B0 ≠ 0 => 16 + 4α + β = 0

Use the value of β = 0 found previously

16 + 4α = 0 => α = - 16 / 4 = - 4.

Answer: α = - 4 and β = 0
