You place a 3.0-m-long board symmetrically across a 0.5-m-wide chair to seat three physics students at a party at your house. If

62-kg Dan sits on the left end of the board and 50-kg Tahreen on the right end of the board, where should 54-kg Komila sit to keep the board stable? Ignore the mass of the board and treat each student as point-like objects. The positive x-direction is to the right, and the origin is at the center of the chair.

Answer:

Komila should sit 0.33m from the middle of the board towards tahreen.

Explanation:

We are told to treat each student as point-like objects. So i have attached a rigid body diagram to depict this.

From the diagram,

F_d is force exerted by dan

F_t is force exerted by tahreen

F_k is force exerted by komila

F_b is force of board at the mid point.

x1 is distance of dan from the centre of the chair

x2 is distance of komila from the centre of the chair

x3 is distance of tahreen from komila

We are given;

Mass of Dan;m_d = 62 kg

Mass of tahreen;m_t = 50 kg

Mass of komila;m_k = 54 kg

Now, taking moments about the centre of the chair, we have;

(F_d*x1) - (F_k*x2) - (F_t(x2 + x3)) = 0

Now,F_d = m_d*g ; F_t = m_t*g ; F_k = m_k*g

We are told that the board is 3m long. So, if we assume that the fulcrum position of the chair coincides with the midpoint of boards length, we'll have;

x1 = (x2 + x3) = 1.5

Thus, we now have;

(F_d*1.5) - (F_k*x2) - (F_t*1.5) = 0

F_d = m_d*g = 62 * 9.8 = 607.6 N

F_t = m_t * g = 50 x 9.8 = 490 N

F_k = m_k * g = 54 x 9.8 = 529.2 N

So plugging in these values, we have;

(607.6 * 1.5) - (529.2 * x2) - (490 * 1.5) = 0

911.4 - 735 = 529.2 x2

529.2 x2 = 176.4

x2 = 176.4/529.2

x2 = 0.33m

Komila should sit 0.24m from the middle of the board towards tahreen

For what value m of the clockwise couple will the horizontal component ax of the pin reaction at a be zero? if a couple of that

sergejj [24]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the answer:

sum of Mc = 0 = -Ay(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + (275)(2.1 + 3cos(59)) + M
<span>- Ay = (M + (275*(2.1 + 3cos(59)))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) </span>

<span>sum of Ma = 0 = (-275)(2.1) - Cy(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + M </span>
<span>- Cy = (M - (275*2.1))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) </span>

<span>Ay + Cy = 275 = ((M+1002.41)+(M-577.5))/(5.745) </span>
<span>= (2M + 424.91)/(5.745) </span>

<span>M = ((275*5.745) - 424.91)/2 </span>
<span>= 577.483 which rounds off to 577 </span>

<span>Is it maybe supposed to be Ay - Cy = 275</span>

A truck collides with a car on horizontal ground. At one moment during the collision, the magnitude of the acceleration of the t

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the truck, $a_t$ = 12.7 m/s²

mass of the truck, $m_t$ = 2490 kg

mass of the car, $m_c$ = 890 kg

let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = $a_c$

Apply Newton's third law of motion;

Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.

The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.

$F_c = -F_t\\\\m_ca_c = -m_t a_t\\\\a_c =- \frac{m_ta_t}{m_c} \\\\a_c = -\frac{2490 \times 12.7}{890} \\\\a_c = - 35.53 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Consider a vibrating system described by the initial value problem. (A computer algebra system is recommended.) u'' + 1 4 u' + 2

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Therefore the required solution is

$U(t)=\frac{2(2-\omega^2)^2}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} cos\omega t +\frac{\frac{1}{2}\omega}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} sin \omega t$

Explanation:

Given vibrating system is

$u''+\frac{1}{4}u'+2u= 2cos \omega t$

Consider U(t) = A cosωt + B sinωt

Differentiating with respect to t

U'(t)= - A ω sinωt +B ω cos ωt

Again differentiating with respect to t

U''(t) = - A ω² cosωt -B ω² sin ωt

Putting this in given equation

$-A\omega^2cos\omega t-B\omega^2sin \omega t+ \frac{1}{4}(-A\omega sin \omega t+B\omega cos \omega t)+2Acos\omega t+2Bsin\omega t = 2cos\omega t$

$\Rightarrow (-A\omega^2+\frac{1}{4}B\omega +2A)cos \omega t+(-B\omega^2-\frac{1}{4}A\omega+2B)sin \omega t= 2cos \omega t$

Equating the coefficient of sinωt and cos ωt

$\Rightarrow (-A\omega^2+\frac{1}{4}B\omega +2A)= 2$

$\Rightarrow (2-\omega^2)A+\frac{1}{4}B\omega -2=0$ .........(1)

and

$\Rightarrow -B\omega^2-\frac{1}{4}A\omega+2B= 0$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{4}A\omega+(2-\omega^2)B= 0$ ........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by cross multiplication method

$\frac{A}{\frac{1}{4}\omega.0 -(-2)(2-\omega^2)}=\frac{B}{-\frac{1}{4}\omega.(-2)-0.(2-\omega^2)}=\frac{1}{(2-\omega^2)^2-(-\frac{1}{4}\omega)(\frac{1}{4}\omega)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{A}{2(2-\omega^2)}=\frac{B}{\frac{1}{2}\omega}=\frac{1}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega}$

$\therefore A=\frac{2(2-\omega^2)^2}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega}$ and $B=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\omega}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega}$

Therefore the required solution is

$U(t)=\frac{2(2-\omega^2)^2}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} cos\omega t +\frac{\frac{1}{2}\omega}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} sin \omega t$

A box with a mass of 100.0 kg slides down a ramp with a 50 degree angle. What is the weight of the box? N What is the value of t

nadya68 [22]

1) weight of the box: 980 N

The weight of the box is given by:

$W=mg$

where m=100.0 kg is the mass of the box, and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting in the formula, we find

$W=(100.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=980 N$

2) Normal force: 630 N

The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the component of the weight which is perpendicular to the ramp, which is given by

$N=W cos \theta$

where W is the weight of the box, calculated in the previous step, and $\theta=50^{\circ}$ is the angle of the ramp. Substituting, we find

$N=(980 N)(cos 50^{\circ})=630 N$

3) Acceleration: $7.5 m/s^2$

The acceleration of the box along the ramp is equal to the component of the acceleration of gravity parallel to the ramp, which is given by

$a_p = g sin \theta$

Substituting, we find

$W_p = (9.8 m/s^2)(sin 50^{\circ})=7.5 m/s^2$
