A 90 kg painter is standing on a horizontal wooden scaffolding of length 10 m, which is supported on each end by a rope. The painter is standing 2 m from the first rope and 8 m from the second rope. What is the tension in the first rope (in Newtons)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

For equilibrium, $\sum M = 0$ .

So, $8 m * mg - (10 m) T_(1)$ = 0

$T_(1) = (8 * mg)/(10)$

= $(8 * 90 * 9.8)/(10)$

= 705.6 N

Also, for equilibrium $\sum F_(y)$ = 0

$T_(1) + T_(2) - mg$ = 0

or, $T_(2) = mg - T_(1)$

= $90 * 9.8 - 705.6$

= 176.4 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.

Experts in model airplanes develop a supersonic plane to scale, it moves horizontally in the air while it is conducting a flight test. The development team defines that the space that the airplane travels as a function of time is given by the function: e (t) = 9t 2 - 6t + 3 Determine what acceleration the scale airplane has (Second derivative).

Answers

Explanation:

e(t) = 9t² − 6t + 3

The velocity is the first derivative:

e'(t) = 18t − 6

The acceleration is the second derivative:

e"(t) = 18

A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 3700 rpm . Test tubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because of the very large accelerations. Part A What is the acceleration at the end of a test tube that is 10 cm from the axis of rotation

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration of test tube

= ω² R

= (2πn)² R

= 4π²n²R

n = no of rotation per second

= 3700 / 60

= 61.67

R = .10 m

acceleration

= 4π²n²R

= 4 x 3.14² x 61.67² x .10

= 14999 N Approx

Use a(t) =−32 feet per second squared as the acceleration due to gravity. a ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 56 feet per second. for how many seconds will the ball be going upward?

Answers

Since the ball is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, its vertical velocity at time t is given by
$v(t)= v_0 - a t$
where we took upward as positive direction, and where $v_0$ is the initial velocity, a the acceleration and t the time.

The instant at which $v(t)=0$ is the instant when the ball reverses its velocity (from upward to downward). This means that the difference between the time t at which v(t)=0 and the instant t=0 is the total time during which the ball was going upward:
$0=v_0 - at$
By plugging numbers into the equation, we find
$t= (v_0)/(a)= (56 ft/s)/(32 ft/s^2)=1.75 s$

A commercial aircraft is flying westbound east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The pilot observes billow clouds near the same altitude as the aircraft to the south, and immediately turns on the "fasten seat belt" sign. Explain why the aircraft experiences an abrupt loss of 500 meters of altitude a short time later.

Answers

Answer:

Billow clouds provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents.

Explanation:

Billow clouds are created in regions that are not stable in a meteorological sense. They are frequently present in places with air flows, and have marked vertical shear and weak thermal separation and inversion (colder air stays on top of warmer air). Billow clouds are formed when two air currents of varying speeds meet in the atmosphere. They create a stunning sight that looks like rolling ocean waves. Billow clouds have a very short life span of minutes but they provide a visible signal to aviation interests of potentially dangerous turbulent sky since they indicate instability in air currents, which although may not affect us on the ground but is a concern to aircraft pilots. The turbulence due to the Billow wave is the only logical explanation for the loss of 500 m in altitude of the plane.
