Plz help ASAP please !!

a 90 kg architect is standing 2 meters from the center of a scaffold help up by a rope on both sides. the scaffold is 6m long an

We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
$T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0$
where
$W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N$ is the weight of the person
$W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N$ is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
$T_1 = 2845 N-T_2$ (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
$T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0$
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using $W_p = 883 N$ and replacing T1 with (1), we find
$2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0$
from which we find
$T_2 = 1128 N$

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
$T_1 = 1717 N$

One of the most important properties of materials in many applications is strength. Two of the qualitative measures of the stren

katrin2010 [14]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.

In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.

By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$

Where,

$\sigma =$ Tensile strength

F = Tensile Force

A = Cross-sectional Area

In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

where,

$\sigma_y =$ Shear strength

$F_y =$ Shear Force

$A_0 =$ Parallel Area

PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

$311*10^6 = \frac{F}{(15*10^{-6})(30*10^{-2})}$

Resolving for F,

$F= 1399.5N$

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

$210*10^6 = \frac{F_y}{15*10^{-6}30*10^{-2}}$

$F_y = 945N$

In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.

The total distance a group of movers move a refrigerator is 22 m. If they complete this task in 15 minutes, their efforts would

lianna [129]

Answer:

Their efforts would be expressed in units of Joules per second

Explanation:

The unit of their efforts can be derived from the formula of power which is given by the product of mass, acceleration and distance (the product is energy with unit joules) divided by time taken to complete the task (unit is seconds)

Therefore, the unit of their efforts would be joules per second

At a distance of 11 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 65 cps (cps = counts per seco

Alborosie

To solve the problem, it is necessary the concepts related to the definition of area in a sphere, and the proportionality of the counts per second between the two distances.

The area with a certain radius and the number of counts per second is proportional to another with a greater or lesser radius, in other words,

$A_1*m=M*A_2$
