Sterling Archer, despite failing repeatedly at pole-vaulting, is determined to master the skill. He is holding a vaulting pole p

arallel to the ground. The pole is 5 m long. Archer grips the pole with his right hand 10 cm from the top end of the pole and with his left hand 1 m from the top end of the pole. Although the pole is quite light (its mass is only 2.5 kg), the forces that Archer must exert on the pole to maintain it in this position are quite large. How large are they?

Answer:

left hand: 133 N upward

right hand: 83N downward

Explanation:

10 cm = 0.1m

Let g = 10m/s2. The pole gravity force would be F_p = 5*10 = 50 N. Suppose the pole mass distribution is uniform, this means the center of mass is at its geometric center, aka 5/2 = 2.5m from the top end.

In order for the system to stay balanced, the total net force and net moment must be 0

F_L + F_R = F_p = 50 N where F_L, F_R are the forces exerted by his left and right hand, respectively.

We will pick his right hand (0.1 m from the top end) as moment pivot point. The total moment generated by pole gravity and his left hand must be 0

Distance (or moment arm length) from pole center to his right hand is R_p = 2.5 – 0.1 = 2.4 m

Moment generated by gravity around his right hand is: M_p = F_pR_p = 50*2.4 = 120 Nm counter-clockwise

Distance (or moment arm length) from left hand to his right hand is R_L = 1 – 0.1 = 0.9 m

Moment generated by force from his left hand around his right hand is: M_L = F_LR_L = 1.9F_L Nm clockwise

Since the total moment must be 0, the clockwised-direction moment = counterclockwised-direction moment:

0.9F_L = 120

F_L = 120 / 0.9 = 133 N upward

Therefore, the force exerted by his right hand must be 50 – 133 = -83 N or 83N downward

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity to
AveGali [126]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Humidity is the amount water vapor present in the atmosphere.

Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of partial water vapor present in air to the actual water vapor at a particular temperature. It is expressed in percentage and the higher the percentage RH, the more the saturated water vapor present in the atmosphere and vice versa.

It is expressed mathematically as shown;

RH = actual water vapor in air/saturated water vapor × 100%

If the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter and the air's capacity to hold water vapor was 8 grams per cubic meter

Actual water vapor = 4g/cm³

Air's water capacity (saturated water vapor) = 8g/cm³

RH = 4/8×100

RH = 50%

If it is a matter of which way you are going you could lean forward. It would help to put all the weight opposite of where you are falling.
