In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several ramps connecting different parts of the store. Customers will have to pu

sh grocery carts up the ramps, and it is obviously desired this not be too difficult., An engineer has done a survey and found that almost no one complains if the force required is no more than 50 N. Will a slope θ = 5o be too steep, assuming a 30 kg grocery carts (full of groceries)? Assume friction (wheels against ground, wheel on the axles, and so on), can be accounted for by a coefficient μk = 0.10

Answer:No, the slope won't be too steep

Explanation:

Force is an external agency that causes a body to change its position while friction is a force that causes a body to slide over another. This force is called the frictional force (Ff). The force that causes a body to move is the moving force (Fm).

The slope will be too steep if the frictional force is greater than the moving force since the frictional force tends to oppose the moving force.

According to the explanation, we need to get Ff and compare with the moving force along the plane.

If Ff>Fm it means the slope will be too steep but if Ff<Fm, the slope won't be too steep and as such the body can easily be moved along the plane.

Resolving forces acting along the plane we have FmSintheta + Ff = Fm (FmSintheta and Ff are added because they act in the same direction along the plane)

Fm=50N, theta=5°

Imputing this into the formula to get Ff;

50sin5°+Ff =50

Ff= 50-50sin5°

Ff= 50-4.35

Ff= 45.65N

Since Ff<Fm, this means the slope is not too steep and as such the 30kg load can be moved along the plane easily.

A man pushes a shopping cart across a level floor. What force resists the effort force? A) gravity B) friction C) the normal for
Kipish [7]

Answer:

B) Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.

For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:

F_f = \mu_k mg

where

\mu_k is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.

In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is

F_f = \mu_s mg

where \mu_s is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

A vector → A has a magnitude of 56.0 m and points in a direction 30.0° below the negative x axis. A second vector, → B , has a m
MissTica

Answer:

  • The magnitude of the vector \vec{C} is 107.76 m

Explanation:

To find the components of the vectors we can use:

\vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.

The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° + 30 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° + 30 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 210 \°) \ , \ sin (210 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° - 49 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° - 49 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 131 \°) \ , \ sin (131 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , \ 61.886\ m \ )

Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:

(a_x,a_y) + (b_x,b_y) = (a_x+b_x,a_y+b_y)

So, for our vectors:

\vec{C} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ ) + ( \ -53.797 \ m \ ,  ) = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ -53.797 \ m , \ - 28 \ m \ + \ 61.886\ m \ )

\vec{C} = ( \ - 102.294 \ m , \ 33.886 m \ )

To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{C_x^2 + C_y^2}

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{(- 102.294 \ m)^2 + (\ 33.886 m \)^2}

|\vec{C}| =107.76 m

And this is the magnitude we are looking for.

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N
