a truss is made by hinging two uniform, 150-N rafters as shown in Fig. 5-21. They rest on an essentially frictionless floor and

are held together by a tie rope. A 500-N load is held at their apex. Find the tension in the tie rope.

<span>Let L and R be the left and right vertical floor reactions
let T be the tension of the rope
 summation of all forces is zero

R + L - 500 - 150- 150 = 0

R + L = 800

 since the triangle formed is isosceles triangles, the legs are equal
R = L = 400 N

using the summation of the torque

  L [ 4] - T[ 3 - (2 *3/5)] = 0
400 [ 4] - T[ 1.8] = 0
T = 1600/1.8
T = 889 N </span>

It takes a slug 20 minutes to travel from the grass to the trash can , a trip of 15 meters. How far could the slug travel in 60
inn [45]

Answer:

45 meters

Explanation:

20 min = 15 meters

So if 20 x 3 = 60

you have to do 3 x 15 !

- which equals to 45 <3

Now suppose the initial velocity of the train is 4 m/s and the hill is 4 meters tall. If the train has a mass of 30000 kg, what
hoa [83]

Answer:

<h2>187,500N/m</h2>

Explanation:

From the question, the kinectic energy of the train will be equal to the energy stored in the spring.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² and energy stored in a spring E = 1/2 ke².

Equating both we will have;

1/2 mv² = 1/2ke²

mv² = ke²

m is the mass of the train

v is the velocity of then train

k is the spring constant

e is the extension caused by the spring.

Given m = 30000kg, v = 4 m/s, e = 4 - 2.4 = 1.6m

Substituting this values into the formula will give;

30000*4² =  k*1.6²

k = \frac{30,000*16}{1.6^2}\\ \\k = \frac{480,000}{2.56}\\ \\k = 187,500Nm^{-1}

The value of the spring constant is 187,500N/m

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Consider the waveform expression. y (x, t) = ym sin (0.333x + 5.36 + 585t) The transverse displacement (y) of a wave is given as
Sonja [21]

Explanation:

The waveform expression is given by :

y(x,t)=y_m\ sin(0.333x+5.36+585t)...........(1)

Where

y is the position

t is the time in seconds

The general waveform equation is given by :

y(x,t)=y_m\ sin(kx+\phi+\omega t)..........(2)

Where

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\omega=2\pi f

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

0.333=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\lambda=18.86\ m

585=2\pi f

f = 93.10 Hz

Time period, T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{0.010}

T = 0.010 s

Phase constant, \phi=5.36\ radian

Hence, this is the required solution.
