A 8.57-m ladder with a mass of 21.4 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pulls straight upw

ard with a force of 258 N. At the instant the top of the ladder leaves the ground, the ladder experiences an angular acceleration of 1.63 rad/s2 about an axis passing through the bottom end of the ladder. The ladder's center of gravity lies halfway between the top and bottom ends. (a) What is the net torque acting on the ladder

Answer:

$1311.5\ \text{Nm}$

Explanation:

l = Length of ladder = 8.57 m

m = Mass of ladder = 21.4 kg

F = Force on ladder = 258 N

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration = $1.63\ \text{rad/s}^2$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Net torque is given by

$\tau=lf-\dfrac{l}{2}mg\\\Rightarrow \tau=8.57\times 258-\dfrac{8.57}{2}\times 21.4\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \tau=1311.5\ \text{Nm}$

The net torque acting on the ladder is $1311.5\ \text{Nm}$ .

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 33.0° above the horizon at 15.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas

Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the soccer ball, m = 0.425 kg

Speed of the ball, u = 15 m/s

Angle with horizontal, $\theta=33^{\circ}$

Time for which the player's foot is in contact with it, $\Delta t = 5.1\times 10^{-2}\ s$

Part A,

The x component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

$\Delta p_x=mv\ cos\theta$

$\Delta p_x=0.425\times 15\ cos(33)$

$p_x=5.34\ kg-m/s$

The y component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

$\Delta p_y=mv\ sin\theta$

$\Delta p_y=0.425\times 15\ sin(33)$

$p_y=3.47\ kg-m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A sample of 5.6 L of a gas is at a pressure of 1.5 atm. If the volume of the gas is compressed to 4.8 L, what will the new press

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1.75atm

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume V provided that the temperature remains constant.

$P\alpha \frac{1}{V}\\hence\\PV=constant$

This implies the following;

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2=...=P_nV_n............(1)$ Provided temperature is kept constant.

Given;

$P_1=1.5atm\\V_1=5.6L\\P_2=?\\V_2=4.8L$

From equation (1), we can write;

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\hence\\1.5*5.6=P_2*4.8\\\\P_2=\frac{1.5*5.6}{4.8}\\\\P_2=1.75atm$

Since all the units are consistent, there is no need for conversion.

The center of gravity of a loaded truck depends on how the truck is packed. If it is 4.0 m high and 2.4 m wide, and its CG is 2.

Vitek1552 [10]

The slope of the road can be given as the ratio of the change in vertical

distance per unit change in horizontal distance.

The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked without tipping over is approximately <u>54.55 %</u>.

Reasons:

Width of the truck = 2.4 meters

Height of the truck = 4.0 meters

Height of the center of gravity = 2.2 meters

Required:

The allowable steepness of the slope the truck can be parked without tipping over.

Solution:

Let, <em>C</em> represent the Center of Gravity, CG

At the tipping point, the angle of elevation of the slope = θ

Where;

$tan\left(\theta \right) = \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}}$

The steepness of the slope is therefore;

$\mathrm{The \ steepness \ of \ the \ slope}= \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}} \times 100$

Where;

$\overline{AM}$ = Half the width of the truck = $\dfrac{2.4 \, m}{2}$ = 1.2 m

$\overline{CM}$ = The elevation of the center of gravity above the ground = 2.2 m

$\mathrm{The \ steepness \ of \ the \ slope}= \dfrac{1.2}{2.2} \times 100 \approx 54.55\%$

$tan\left(\theta \right) = \mathbf{\dfrac{2.2}{1.2}} = \dfrac{11}{6}$

$Elevation \ of \ the \ road \ \theta = arctan\left( \dfrac{6}{11} \right) \approx 28.6 ^{\circ}$

The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked is <u>54.55 %</u>.
