A uniform log of length L is inclined 30° from the horizontal when supported by a frictionless rock located 0.6L from its left e

nd. The mass of the log is 200 kg. An engineer with a mass of 53.5 kg walks along the log from the left to the right until the log is balanced horizontally. How far from the left end of the log is the engineer when the log is horizontal?

Answer:

x = 0.974 L

Explanation:

given,

length of inclination of log = 30°

mass of log = 200 Kg

rock is located at = 0.6 L

L is the length of the log

mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg

let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.

For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium

 ∑ M = 0

mass of the log will be concentrated at the center  

distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L

now,

∑ M = 0

m_{log} g \times 0.1 L = m_{engineer} g \times (x - 0.6 L)

200 \times 0.1 L = 53.5 \times (x - 0.6 L)

0.374 L =x - 0.6 L

       x = 0.974 L

hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L

A snowboard has a mass of 1.53 kg. What is the static frictional force on the snowboard if the
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Static friction, F=2.9988 N

Explanation:

Static Friction: It is the friction between two or more solid body that are not moving relative to each other.

              When an external force is applied to a body that is in contact with another body, static friction opposes the applied force upto a certain limit, keeping the body at rest. When the applied force exceeds the certain limit the  body begins to move. At that moment applied force is equal to limiting value of  static friction F.

                It varies linearly with normal force(N)

                       F∝N

                         F=μN   (where μ is constant of proportionality and known as coefficient of static friction)

Now,

Mass, m=1.53 kg

Coefficient of static friction, μ=0.2

Normal force, N=m×g

                        =1.53\times9.8     (g=9.8 m/s²)

                         =14.994 N  

Static friction, F= μN  

                         =0.2\times14.994

                          = 2.9988 N

A bicyclist starting from rest applies a force of F 195 N to ride his bicycle across flat ground for a distance of d- 290 m befo
laila [671]

Answer: a) 56,550 J b) 30.1 m/s c) 321 m

Explanation:

a) By definition, work, is the process that does an applied force, in order to produce a displacement in the same direction than the applied force, and can be written as follows;

W = F. d. (scalar product of two vectors)

In this case, as the force is parallel to the displacement, work is directly equal to the product of  the applied force times the displacement (in magnitude), so we can write the following:

W = F. D = 195 N. 290 m = 56,550 J

b) In absence of friction, the work done by the force is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, as it can be showed using the work-energy theorem.

So, in this case, we can put the following:

W = ΔK ⇒F. D = 1/2 mv²

Solving for v, we get:

v=√2.F.D/m = 30.1 m/s

c) Now, if we assume that there is no friction between the bike and the ground, all the kinetic energy must become gravitational potential energy, at some height h.

We can write the following equation

m.g. h = 1/2 mv²

Simplifying, and taking g = 9.8 m/s², we can find h:

h= 46.2 m

Now, we need to know the distance travelled up the incline, which is related with the height h, by the angle that the incline does with the horizontal, as follows:

sin 8.29° = h /d ⇒ d= h / sin 8.29° = 46.2 m / sin 8.29° = 321 m
