Answer:
Explanation:
Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the distance of the input load (Li)from the pivot to the output load applied to the pivot(Lo)
MA = Li/Le
Given;
Li = 45cm
Lo = 1.8cm
MA = 45/1.8
MA = 25
Hence the mechanical advantage is 25
Also MA is expressed in terms of the force ratio which is the ratio of the Load to the effort applied.
MA = Load/Effort
Given
Load = 1250N
MA = 25
Effort = ?
Substitute
25 = 1250/Effort
Effort = 1250/25
Effort = 50N
Hence the minimum force exerted on the load is 50N
Answer:
(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s
(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²
(c) μs = 0.5
Explanation:
(a)
The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:
ω = 2πf
where,
ω = angular speed = ?
f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s
Therefore,
ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)
<u>ω = 1.57 rad/s
</u>
(b)
The centripetal acceleration can be found as:
ac = v²/R
but,
v = Rω
Therefore,
ac = (Rω)²/R
ac = Rω²
therefore,
ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²
<u>ac = 4.92 m/s²
</u>
(c)
In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:
Centripetal Force = Frictional Force
m*ac = μs*R = μs*W
m*ac = μs*mg
ac = μs*g
μs = ac/g
μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)
<u>μs = 0.5</u>
Answer:
1.24611
Explanation:
V = Velocity = 10 ft/s
L = Length = 2 ft
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²
Froude number is given by
Converting to SI units
The Froude number is 1.24611
The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.
Answer:
uniform acceleration
Explanation:
The definition for uniform acceleration is:
if an object travels in a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of time, then the acceleration is said to be uniform.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck
