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.

A 100 Ω resistor is connected in series with a 47 µF capacitor and a source whose maximum voltage is 5 V, operating at 100.0 Hz.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

X_c=-33.86275385\Omega

|Z|=105.5778675\Omega

I=0.04735841062A

\phi=20.78612878\°

Explanation:

The electrical reactance is defined as:

X_c=-\frac{1}{2\pi fC}

Where:

f=Frequency\\C=Capacitance

So, replacing the data provided by the problem:

X_c=\frac{1}{2\pi *100*(47*10^{-6} )} =-33.86275385\Omega

Now, the impedance can be calculated as:

Z=R+jX_c

Where:

R=Resistance\\X_c= Capacitive\hspace{3}reactance

Replacing the data:

Z=100-j33.86275385

In order to find the magnitude of the impedance we can use the next equation:

|Z|=\sqrt{(R^2)+(X_c^2)}=\sqrt{(100)^2+(-33.86275385)^2} =105.5778675\Omega

We can use Ohm's law to find the current:

V=I*Z\\I=\frac{V}{Z}

Therefore the current is:

I=\frac{5}{100-j33.86275385}=0.04485638113+0.01518960593j

And its magnitude is:

|I|=\sqrt{(0.04485638113)^2+(0.01518960593)^2} =0.04735841062\Omega

Finally the phase angle of the current is given by:

\phi=arctan(\frac{0.01518960593}{0.04485638113})=20.78612878\°
