A water wheel rotates with a period of 2.26 s. If the water wheel has a radius of l.94 m,
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct answer is B)
Explanation:
When a wheel rotates without sliding, the straight-line distance covered by the wheel's center-of-mass is exactly equal to the rotational distance covered by a point on the edge of the wheel. So given that the distances and times are same, the translational speed of the center of the wheel amounts to or becomes the same as the rotational speed of a point on the edge of the wheel.
The formula for calculating the velocity of a point on the edge of the wheel is given as
= 2π r / T
Where
π is Pi which mathematically is approximately 3.14159
T is period of time
Vr is Velocity of the point on the edge of the wheel
The answer is left in Meters/Seconds so we will work with our information as is given in the question.
Vr = (2 x 3.14159 x 1.94m)/2.26
Vr = 12.1893692/2.26
Vr = 5.39352619469
Which is approximately 5.39

Explanation:
We are given that
Weight,=225 N
Length,l=5 m
d=1.1 m
We have to find the distance x for which person weighs 385 N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just begins to tip.
Half length=
