When the system is in equilibrium, the sum of the moment about a point is

zero.

Force \ shown  \ by \  the  \ scale \  under \  the \  right  \ pillar \ is \ F = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

Reasons:

Length of the beam = l

Mass of the beam = m_B

Location \ of \  the \  two \  pillars = \dfrac{l}{3}  \  from  \  either  \  end

Mass of the duck = m_D

Required:

Force shown by the scale under the right pillar.

Solution:

The location of the duck = On the left end of the beam

When the system is in equilibrium, we have; ∑M = 0

Taking moment about the left pillar, we get;

Clockwise moment = m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3} + F \times \dfrac{l}{3}

Anticlockwise moment = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6}

At equilibrium, clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Therefore;

m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3} + F \times \dfrac{l}{3} = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6}

F \times \dfrac{l}{3} = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6} - m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3}

F = \dfrac{m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6} - m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3}}{\dfrac{l}{3} }  = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

Force \ shown  \ by \  the  \ scale \  under \  the \  right  \ pillar, \  F = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

Michael Jordan, el célebre basquetbolista, ganó el torneo de clavadas de la NBA en 1988. Para lograr la hazaña saltó 1.35 metros
kozerog [31]

(a) 0.40 s

First of all, let's find the initial speed at which Jordan jumps from the ground.

The maximum height is h = 1.35 m. We can use the following equation:

v^2-u^2=2gh

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for u,

u=\sqrt{-2gh}=\sqrt{-2(-9.8)(1.35)}=5.14 m/s

The time needed to reach the maximum height can now be found by using the equation

v=u+gt

Solving for t,

t=\frac{v-u}{g}=\frac{0-5.14}{-9.8}=0.52s

Now we can find the velocity at which Jordan reaches a point 20 cm below the maximum height, so at a height of

h' = 1.35 - 0.20 = 1.15 m

Using again the equation

v'^2-u^2=2gh'

we find

v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(1.15)}=1.97 m/s

And the corresponding time is

t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{1.97-5.14}{-9.8}=0.32s

So the time to go from h' to h is

\Delta t = t-t'=0.52-0.32=0.20 s

And since we have also to take into account the fall down (after Jordan reached the maximum height), which is symmetrical, we have to multiply this time by 2 to get the total time of permanence in the highest 20 cm of motion:

\Delta t=2\cdot 0.20 = 0.40 s

(b) 0.08 s

This part is easier since we need to calculate only the velocity at a height of h' = 0.20 m:

v'^2-u^2=2gh'

v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(0.20)}=4.74 m/s

And the corresponding time is

t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{4.74-5.14}{-9.8}=0.04s

So this is the time needed to go from h=0 to h=20 cm; again, we have to take into account the motion downwards, so we have to multiply this by 2:

\Delta t = 2\cdot 0.04 =0.08 s
