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

What best describes myotibrils

krok68 [10]

Myofibrils are composed of long proteins such as actin, myosin, and titin, and other proteins that hold them together. These proteins are organized into thin filaments and thick filaments, which repeat along the length of the myofibril in sections called sarcomeres. Muscles contract by sliding the thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments along each other.

A weather balloon is rising vertically from a launching pad on the ground. A technician standing 300 feet from the launching pad

avanturin [10]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =5\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Let

h = height of balloon (in feet).

θ = angle made with line of sight and ground (in radians).

h = 300 tanθ

$\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 300 sec^2\theta$

now $\dfrac{dh}{dt}$ can be written as

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =\dfrac{dh}{d\theta }\times \dfrac{d\theta }{dt}$

$\dfrac{d\theta }{dt} = \dfrac{1}{120}\at \ \theta =\dfrac{\pi}{4}$

When θ = π/4,

$\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 300 sec^2\theta$

$\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 600$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =\dfrac{dh}{d\theta }\times \dfrac{d\theta }{dt}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =600\times \dfrac{1}{120}$

$\dfrac{dh}{dt} =5\ ft/s$

A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

$F'=\dfrac{F}{4}$

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$
