An 85 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 15 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, an

d we can model the situation to see why. Assume that the man has a mass of 85 kg, with a center of gravity 1.0 m above the ground. The action of the wind on his torso, which we approximate as a cylinder 50 cm wide and 90 cm long centered 1.2 m above the ground, produces a force that tries to tip him over backward. To keep from falling over, he must lean forward.
Required:
a. What is the magnitude of the torque provided by the wind force? Take the pivot point at his feet. Assume that he is standing vertically.
b. At what angle to the vertical must the man lean to provide a gravitational torque that is equal to this torque due to the wind force?

Answer:

  a) T= 72.9 Nm

  b)      \Theta = 5 \textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass 85kg

Speed 15m/s

Center of gravity 1.0m

Cylinder 50 cm wide and 90 cm long centered 1.2 m above the ground

a)Generally equation for force is given by

   F = 0.5 p A v^2

Mathematically solving for force exacted

   F = 0.5*1.2*0.9*0.5*15^2

   F= 60.75 N

Mathematically solving for torque

Torque,

    T = r * F

    T=1.2*60.75

   T= 72.9 Nm

b)Generally in solving for \theta

   Tan\theta = Torque/(Mass * Gravity)

   Tan\theta = (72.9)/(85 * 9.8)

     \Theta = 5 \textdegree

explain how a maglev train provides evidence that magnetic fields can apply forces between objects that do not touch.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Powerful electromagnets are fitted on top of guideways either ttract or repel the magents fitted on the bottom of train. The froce of attraction/repulsion rasies the train in hovering position.

Explanation:

Magentic fields exist between two opposite/like poles. The poles do not have to be touching each other. They can be separated by a distance in a medium that doesn' block magnetic field.

In magelv train the magnetic forces between two poles are used to operate the train. The two poles are separated by train body and air.

Why can a hurricane cause so much destruction?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

When a cyclone continues to be out over the ocean, the winds and huge waves that area unit created by the storm become dangerous for ships and alternative water vessels. ... once the cyclone approaches land it will cause an enormous quantity of injury. Flooding caused by storm surges is one among the foremost dangerous components of a cyclone.

The restoring force on a pendulum bob is proportional to sin(θ), where θ is the angle which the pendulum makes with the vertical
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The angle is 4.44º

Explanation:

If:

\frac{sin\theta -\theta}{\theta } \leq 0.1o/o\\\frac{sin\theta -\theta}{\theta }\leq 10^{-3}

According the Taylor`s series:

sin\theta =\theta -\frac{\theta ^{3}  }{3!}  ....

\frac{\theta ^{2} }{6} \leq 10^{-3} \\\theta ^{2} \leq 6x10^{-3} \\\theta \leq \sqrt{6x10^{-3} } \\\theta \leq 0.0775\\\theta = 0.0775rad=4.44
