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 spaceship moves radially away from Earth with acceleration 29.4 m/s 2 (about 3g). How much time does it take for sodium street
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

doppler shift's formula for source and receiver moving away from each other:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

Explanation:

acceleration of spaceship=α=29.4m/s²

wavelength of sodium lamp=λ°=589nm

as the spaceship is moving away from earth so wavelength of earth should increase w.r.t increasing speed until it vanishes at λ'=700nm

using doppler shift's formula:

<em>λ'=λ°√(1+β/1-β)</em>

putting the values:

700nm=589nm√(1+β/1-β)

after simplifying:

<em>β=0.17</em>

by this we can say that speed at that time is: v=0.17c

to calculate velocity at an acceleration of a=29.4m/s²

we suppose that spaceship started from rest so,

<em>v=v₀+at</em>

where v₀=0

so<em> v=at</em>

as we want to calculate t so:-

<em>t=v/a</em>                                                v=0.17c      ,c=3x10⁸           ,a=29.4m/s²

putting values:

=0.17(3x10⁸m/s)/29.4m/s²

<em>t=1.73x10⁶</em>

The driver of a car travels at 90 km / h, observes some children playing on the road 50 m away, and applies the brakes, managing
Orlov [11]

Answer:

13,750 N

Yes

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

Find: a and Δx

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 25 m/s) / (4 s)

a = -6.25 m/s²

F = ma

F = (2200 kg) (-6.25 m/s²)

F = -13,750 N

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (0 m/s + 25 m/s) (4 s)

Δx = 50 m

Which part of a wind-powered system ultimately produces the electricity? A. nacelle B. blade C. turbine D. generator
djverab [1.8K]
<span>The correct answer is: (D) Generator

Explanation:
In wind-powered systems, the wind energy turns the blades around the rotor of a wind turbine. That rotor is connected to a generator that generates electricity. In other words, the kinectic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy by using the generator in the wind-powered systems.</span>

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?
OLga [1]
The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.
