Answer:

  110 m

Explanation:

The geometry of the problem can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff forms one leg, and the distance to a buoy forms the other leg. The angle of depression is opposite the height of the cliff. An appropriate trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Solving for the Adjacent side (the distance to the buoy), we find ...

  Adjacent = Opposite/Tan

  distance to buoy 1 = (80 m)/tan(23°) ≈ 188.468 m

  distance to buoy 2 = (80 m)/tan(15°) ≈ 298.564 m

Then the distance between the buoys is ...

  298.564 -188.468 m ≈ 110 m

The buoys are about 110 meters apart.

If a torque of M = 300 N⋅m is applied to the flywheel, determine the force that must be developed in the hydraulic cylinder CD t
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

<em>866.1 N</em>

Explanation:

The torque on the flywheel = 300 N-m

The force from the hydraulic cylinder will generate a moment on CA about point A.

The part of this moment that will be at point B about A must be proportional to the torque on the cylinder which is 300 N-m

we know that moment = F x d

where F is the force, and

d is the perpendicular distance from the turning point = 1 m

Equating, we have

300 = F x 1

F = 300 N   this is the frictional force that stops the flywheel

From F = μN

where F is the frictional force

μ is the coefficient of static friction = 0.4

N is the normal force from the hydraulic cylinder

substituting, we have

300 = 0.4 x N

N = 300/0.4 = 750 N

This normal force calculated is perpendicular to CA. This actual force, is at 30° from the horizontal. To get the force from the hydraulic cylinder R, we use the relationship

N = R sin (90 - 30)

750 = R sin 60°

750 = 0.866R

R = 750/0.866 = <em>866.1 N</em>
