Answer:

Fletching

Explanation:

The arrows have plastic vanes or feathers at the end of it. These are known as fletchings. The purpose of these is to shift the center of pressure (COP) backwards. COP is the point where the pressure is supposed to be concentrated(acting) on a body similar to center of gravity (CG).

While the arrow is in flight it can divert from its path due to surrounding pressure. With the help of COP we can cancel out these unwanted motions making sure the arrow follows the desired path. The COP should always be at the opposite end of CG. Since CG in the arrow is in near the tip, fletchings are attached at the end to shift the COP towards the end and thus giving the required stability to the arrow while in flight.

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

The vertical weight carried by the builder at the rear end is F = 308.1 N

<h3>Calculations and Parameters</h3>

Given that:

The weight is carried up along the plane in rotational equilibrium condition

The torque equilibrium condition can be used to solve

We can note that the torque due to the force of the rear person about the position of the front person = Torque due to the weight of the block about the position of the front person

This would lead to:

F(W*cosθ) = mgsinθ(L/2) + mgcosθ(W/2)

F(1cos20)= 197/2(3.10sin20 + 2 cos 20)

Fcos20= 289.55

F= 308.1N

A square plate of side 9 m is submerged in water at an incline of 60∘ with the horizontal. Its top edge is located at the surfac
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The force on one side of  the plate is 3093529.3 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side of square plate = 9 m

Angle = 60°

Water weight density = 9800 N/m³

Length of small strip is

y=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\sin60}

y=\dfrac{2\Delta y}{\sqrt{3}}

The area of strip is

dA=\dfrac{9\times2\Delta y}{\sqrt{3}}

We need to calculate the force on  one side of  the plate

Using formula of pressure

P=\dfrac{dF}{dA}

dF=P\times dA

On integrating

\int{dF}=\int_{0}^{9\sin60}{\rho g\times y\times 6\sqrt{3}dy}

F=9800\times6\sqrt{3}(\dfrac{y^2}{2})_{0}^{9\sin60}

F=9800\times6\sqrt{3}\times(\dfrac{(9\sin60)^2}{2})

F=3093529.3\ N

Hence, The force on one side of  the plate is 3093529.3 N.
