An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m

The position of the person will be 2.5 m

Paul lifts a sack weighing 245 newtons vertically from the ground and places it on a platform at a height of 0.7 meters. If he t
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

B. 17.15 watts

Explanation:

Given that

Time = 10 seconds

height = distance = 0.7 meters

weight of sack = mg = F = 245 newtons

Power = work done/ time taken

Where work done = force × distance

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

Work done = 245 newton × 0.7 meters

Work done = 171.5 J

Recall,

Power = work done/time

Power = 171.5 J ÷ 10

Power = 17.15 watts

Hence the power expended is B. 17.15 watts
