Answer: Torque T = 40.7 Nm

Explanation:

Torque or turning effect is the rotational equivalent of linear force, i.e moment of force about a point.

Given that the force is applied perpendicular to the edge (angle 90°)

Torque can be represented by T;

T = FrSin∅ = Fr ( sin90 = 1)

T = force × distance

T = F × r

F = 55N

r = 74cm = 0.74m

T = 55N × 0.74m

T = 40.7 Nm

A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is: $w_{c} =m_{c} g$ and maximum tension is $T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N$

total mass and weight is :

$M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg$

$w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N$

∑ $F_{y} =ma_{y}$

$T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}$

$a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg$

$=0.645m/s^2$

maximum acceleration

$a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0$

using $y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2$

to solve for t

$t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }$

$t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s$

Which is a more objective measurement, sound intensity or loudness, and why? 1. sound intensity is exactly same as loudness. 2.

fgiga [73]

The correct answer is:
<span>2. sound intensity is a more objective and physical attribute of a sound wave because loudness can vary from person to person

indeed, sound intensity is a measurable quantity, and so it is objective, while loudness is the subjective perception of the sound level, so it varies from person to person.</span>

Hi there!

We can use the kinematic equation:

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2ad$
