A painter stands a horizontal platform which has a mass of 20kg and is 5m long, the platform is suspended by two vertical ropes

, one attached to each end of the platform . the mass of the painter is 70kg . if he is standing 2m from the centre of the platform . Calculate the tension in each of the ropes.​

Answer:

R = 715.4 N

L =  166.6 N

Explanation:

ASSUME the painter is standing right of center

Let L be the left rope tension

Let R be the right rope tension

Sum moments about the left end to zero. Assume CCW moment is positive

R[5] - 20(9.8)[5/2] - 70(9.8)[5/2 + 2] = 0

R = 715.4 N

Sum moments about the right end to zero

20(9.8)[5/2] + 70(9.8)[5/2 - 2] - L[5] = 0

L =  166.6 N

We can verify by summing vertical forces

116.6 + 715.4 - (70 + 20)(9.8) ?=? 0

                                             0 = 0  checks

If the assumption about which side of center the paint stood is incorrect, the only difference would be the values of L and R would be swapped.

Evaluating alternative options and choosing one option among them is called the theory of bounded rationality.
VikaD [51]

It is false, bounded rationality is the idea that rationality is limited when individuals make decisions. ... Limitations include the difficulty of the problem requiring a decision, the cognitive capability of the mind, and the time available to make the decision.

Which of the following statements does not correctly describe a harmonic plane wave traveling in some medium.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Incorrect statement is (b).

Explanation:

Option (a) : There is an inverse relation between the time and the frequency. The time taken depends on the frequency of the number of oscillations. Statement 1 is correct i.e. the time taken by any point of the wave to make one complete oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.

Option (b) : Speed of a wave is given by the product of its frequency and wavelength. It is not necessary that doubling the wavelength of the wave will halve its frequency as speed depends on the medium.

Option (c) : Doubling the amplitude has no effect on on the wavelength as amplitude does not depends on its wavelength.

Option (d) : Since, v=f\times \lambda

Speed is directly proportional to the frequency and wavelength. So, doubling the frequency of the wave will double its speed. So, the incorrect statement is (b).
