Answer:

The magnitude of the force F is given by

F =  (M_{a} + M_{b} + M_{c} ) *(M_{b}*g/(\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}))

Explanation:

Given there are three blocks of masses M_{a}, M_{b} and M_{c} (ref image in attachment)

When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by

F =  (M_{a} + M_{b} + M_{c} ) *a    ................(equation 1)

Also it is given that M_{a} does not move with respect to M_{c}, which gives tension T  is exerted on pulley  by M_{a} only, Hence tension T is

T = M_{a} *a    ..........(equation 2)

There is also also tension exerted by M_{b}. There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by

T = M_{b} \sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }   ................(equation 3)

From equation 2 and 3, we get

M_{a} *a  = M_{b} \sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }  

Squaring both sides we get

M_{a} ^{2} *a^{2} = M_{b} ^{2} * (a^{2}+g^{2})

M_{a} ^{2} *a^{2} = (M_{b} ^{2} * a^{2})+ (M_{b} ^{2} *g^{2})

(M_{a} ^{2}  -  M_{b} ^{2}) * a^{2} = M_{b} ^{2} *g^{2}

a^{2} = M_{b} ^{2} *g^{2}/(M_{a} ^{2}  -  M_{b} ^{2})

Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a

a = M_{b}*g/(\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}})

Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get

F =  (M_{a} + M_{b} + M_{c} ) *(M_{b}*g/(\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}))

an object has a mass of 50kg, a final height of 20m and an initial height of 8m. what is the amount of work done
Andrei [34K]

amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = ½Iω²

ΚΕ = ½(mL²/3)ω²

ΚΕ = ½(0.63(0.82²)/3)4.2²

ΚΕ = 1.24541928

KE = 1.2 J
