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

Is being a plat 2 in rainbow 6 siege a good rank?
icang [17]

Answer:

In a way it does, but overall, there are many factors that affect your rank. In general, and talking about the average Platinum II, they are pretty decent according to casual player standards.

A 6.50-m-long iron wire is 1.50 mm in diameter and carries a uniform current density of 4.07 MA/m^2. Find the voltage between th
Sauron [17]

Answer:

V = 0.45 Volts

Explanation:

First we need to find the total current passing through the wire. That can be given by:

Total Current = I = (Current Density)(Surface Area of Wire)

I = (Current Density)(2πrL)

where,

r = radius = 1.5/2 mm = 0.75 mm = 0.75 x 10⁻³ m

L = Length of Wire = 6.5 m

Therefore,

I = (4.07 x 10⁻³ A/m²)[2π(0.75 x 10⁻³ m)(6.5 m)]

I = 1.25 x 10⁻⁴ A

Now, we need to find resistance of wire:

R = ρL/A

where,

ρ = resistivity of iron = 9.71 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

A = Cross-sectional Area = πr² = π(0.75 x 10⁻³ m)² = 1.77 x 10⁻⁶ m²

Therefore,

R = (9.71 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm)(6.5 m)/(1.77 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

R = 0.36 Ω

From Ohm's Law:

Voltage = V = IR

V = (1.25 x 10⁻⁴ A)(0.36 Ω)

<u>V = 0.45 Volts</u>
