Answer:
This means that the center of mass is locates 0.72m from the 750N force
Explanation:
Since the board is 2.2m long, that will be the length of the board.
Let the center of mass of the body be hinged at the center using a knife edge as shown in the diagram attached.
Let x be the distance from the 750N force to the knife edge and the distance from the 360N force to the knife edge be 2.2-x
Using the principle of moment which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anti clockwise moment.
Moment = force × perpendicular distance
For ACW moment;
Moment = 750×x = 750x
For the CW moment;
Moment = 360 × (2.2-x)
Moment = 792-360x
Equating ACW moment to the clockwise moment we have;
750x = 792-360x
750x+360x = 792
1110x = 792
x = 792/1110
x = 0.72m
This means that the center of mass is locates 0.72m from the 750N force
Answer:
t = 0.28 seconds
Explanation:
Given that,
Force acting on a firework, F = 700 N
The momentum of the firework, p =200 kg-m/s
We need to find the time before it explodes. Ket the time be t. We know that, the rate of change of momentum is equal to external frce. So,
So, the required time is equal to 0.28 seconds.
