Answer:
1.24611
Explanation:
V = Velocity = 10 ft/s
L = Length = 2 ft
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²
Froude number is given by
Converting to SI units
The Froude number is 1.24611
The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m
Weight of the beam, () = 332 N
Weight of the Suki, () = 505 N
After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.
= 0
x =
=
= 0.986 m
Hence, the suki can come (2 - 0.986) m = 1.014 from the end before the beam begins to tip.
Thus, we can conclude that suki can come 1.014 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip.
