Answer:

You will do twice the work of climbing 1 stair.

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question, we shall determine the work done on each case. This is illustrated below:

Case 1 ( climbing 2 stairs):

Mass (m) = m

One stair = 4 m

Height (h) = 2 × 4 = 8 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Workdone 1 (Wd₁) =?

Wd₁ = mgh

Wd₁ = m × 10 × 8

Wd₁ = 80 × m

Case 2 (Climbing 1 stair)

Mass (m) = m

Height (h) = 4 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Workdone 2 (Wd₂) =?

Wd₂ = mgh

Wd₂ = m × 10 × 4

Wd₂ = 40 × m

Now comparing the Workdone in both case:

Workdone 1 (Wd₁) = 80 × m

Workdone 2 (Wd₂) = 40 × m

Wd₁ / Wd₂ = 80 × m / 40 × m

Wd₁ / Wd₂ = 2

Cross multiply

Wd₁ = 2 × Wd₂

Thus, we can see that the Workdone in climbing 2 stairs is twice the Workdone in climbing 1 stair.

Therefore, you will do twice the work of climbing 1 stair.

This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The mag
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a)

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

F = 62.5 N

Explanation:

Part a)

If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg + F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg + \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 - 0.310(sin50)}

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg - F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg - \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta + \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 + 0.310(sin50)}

F = 62.5 N

Need help solving this question.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

to solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, with the forces acting on the metal rod.

i)

The center of gravity of the rod is concentrated in half the distance, that is, from the end of the bar to the center there is 40 [cm]. This can be seen in the attached free body diagram.

We have only two equilibrium equations, a summation of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, and a summation of moments on any point equal to zero.

For the summation of forces we will take the forces upwards as positive and the negative forces downwards.

ΣF = 0

-15+T-W=0\\T-W=15

Now we perform a sum of moments equal to zero around the point of attachment of the string with the metal bar. Let's take as a positive the moment of the force that rotates the metal bar counterclockwise.

ii) In the free body diagram we can see that the force acts at 18 [cm] of the string.

ΣM = 0

(15*9) - (18*W) = 0\\135 = 18*W\\W = 7.5 [N]

Why are such scientific advances still valuable?
Sergeu [11.5K]
Because the more advances made in the world means the more we can learn on how things work and how we can better the lives of humans and other species. If we didn't have scientific advancements we wouldn't have cell phones, electric, tv, car, computers, ect. We would still be living in Cave man era with clubs and horrible language skills.
