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.

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.

A clock moves past you at a speed of 0.9 c. How much time passes for you for each second that elapses on the moving clock?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time dilation formula is

T = T₀ / √ 1-v²/c²

T₀ is time elapsed in moving reference , T time elapsed in stationary reference.

Here T₀ = 1 second

T = 1/√ 1-0.9² = 1/.4358 = 2.3 second

So 2.3 second will pass for each second on moving reference.

Why is Pluto no longer a planet?
Step2247 [10]
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.

A $100 cart is moving down an inclined plane at 1.30 m/s. The cart collides with a stationary object and rebounds with a speed o
Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.65  kg*m/s and 0.165 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.5kg

initial velolcity u=1.3m/s

final velocity v= 0.97m/s

Required

The change in momentum

Step two:

We know that the expression for impulse is given as

Ft= mv

Ft= 0.5*1.3

Ft= 0.65  kg*m/s

The expression for the change in momentum is given as

P= mΔv

substitute

Pt= 0.5*(1.3-0.97)

Pt= 0.5*0.33

Pt=0.165 kg*m/s
