Answer:
F = 520 N
Explanation:
For this exercise the rotational equilibrium equation should be used
Σ τ = 0
Let's set a reference system with the origin at the back of the refrigerator and the counterclockwise rotation as positive. On the x-axis it is horizontal directed outward, eg the horizontal y-axis directed to the side and the z-axis vertical
Torque is
τ = F x r
the bold indicate vectors, we analyze each force
the applied force is horizontal along the -x axis, the arm (perpendicular distance) is directed in the z axis,
The weight of the body is the vertical direction of the z-axis, so the arm is on the x-axis
-F z + W x = 0
F z = W x
F = W
The exercise indicates the point of application of the force z = 1.5 m and the weight is placed in the center of mass of the body x = 0.6 m, we are assuming that the force is applied in the wide center of the refrigerator
let's calculate
F = 1300 0.6 / 1.5
F = 520 N
Answer:
3.1 miles
Explanation:
To solve this question it is important to remember that the distance between two mile markers is approximately 1 mile
Once this is known, the question becomes very easy to solve. We make two triangle, which have the following three points
Triangle 1: Hot-Air-Balloon, Ground, Milepost 1 - With angle of depression 20
Triangle 2: Hot-Air-Balloon, Ground, Milepost 2 - With angle of depression 18
As a reminder, the angle of depression is simply the angle the balloonist's head makes with the horizontal plane to be able to see the milepost.
From this we can simply drive two formulas using the Tan function
Equation 1 -
Equation 2 -
Solving them simultaneously we get the value of height (h) to be 3.0852 miles or 3.1 miles
