Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.

Physics

Aleks04 [339]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan

One of your classmates, in a fit of unrestrained ego, jumps onto a lab table:
Anettt [7]

The equilibrium condition allows finding the results for the forces of the system are

      a) The free body diagram is in the attachment

      b) The normal force is N = 737 N

      c) The mass of the table is  10.2 kg

Newton's second law indicates that the net force is proportional to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is zero, it is called the equilibrium condition

          ∑ F = 0

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the external forces

a) A free body diagram is a scheme of the forces without the details of the bodies, in the attachmentt we see a free body diagram of the system.

b) The reaction force of the ground is applied in each of the legs of the table, in general this force has the same magnitude in each leg, therefore in Newton's second law we can place it as a single force

             N = N₁ + N₂ + N₃ + N₄₄

Let's apply the equilibrium condition

                N -  W_m -w_{table} = 0

                N =  W_m +w_{table}

                N = M_m g + w_{table}  

They indicate the pose of the boy is 65 kg, for the weight of the table of a laboratory table is approximately 100 N

                N = 65 9.8 + 100

                N = 737 N

c) To calculate the mass of the table we use the relation

                W = m_{table} g

                m_{table} = \frac{w_{table}}{g}

                m_{tabble}= \frac{100}{9.8}  

               m_{table}e = 10.2 kg

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the results for the forces are

      a) The free body diagram is in the attachment

      b) The normal force is N = 737 N

      c) The mass of the table is  10.2 kg

Which two types of air masses would likely form a subtropical jet stream?
shepuryov [24]
The exact location of the 'subtropical-jet stream' is located at the North phase of 30 Degrees and the reason behind this is due to the variation of air which lies on the region of mid-altitude and warmer equatorial air. the correct answer would be Cool and Warm air masses meeting near the equator.

Determine the maximum shearing stress in a solid shaft of 1.5-in. diameter as it transmits 75 hp at a speed of 1800 rpm. (Round
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

\tau=3.96\ ksi

Explanation:

Given that

d= 1.5 in                      ( 1 in = 0.0254 m)

d= 0.0381 m

P= 75 hp                      ( 1 hp = 745.7 W)

P= 55927.5 W

N= 1800 rpm

We know that power P is given as

P=\dfrac{2\pi N\ T}{60}

T=Torque

N=Speed

55927.5=\dfrac{2\times \pi \times 1800\ T}{60}

T=296.85 N.m

The maximum shear stress is given as

\tau=\dfrac{16 T}{\pi d^3}

\tau=\dfrac{16\times 296.85}{\pi \times 0.0381^3}

\tau=27.35\ MPa

We know that 1 MPa =0.145 ksi

\tau=3.96\ ksi
