Two identical ladders are 3.0 m long and weigh 600 N each. They are connected by a hinge at the top and are held together by a h
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 281.60 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 3.0 m

Weight = 600 N

Distance = 1.0 m

Angle = 60°

Consider half of the ladder,

let tension be T, normal reaction force at ground be F, vertical reaction at top hinge be Y and horizontal reaction force be X.

Y+F=600....(I)

X=T.....(II)

On taking moment about base

X\times l\cos\theta+Y\times l\sin\theta-F\dfrac{l}{2}\sin\theta-T\times d=0

Put the value into the formula

X\times3\cos30+Y\times3\sin30-600\times1.5\sin30-T\times1=0

3\cos30 T-T=600\times1.5\sin30-Y \times3\sin30

1.598T=450-1.5(600-F)....(III)

We need to calculate the force for ladder

2F=600\trimes  2

F=600\ N

We need to calculate the tension in the rope

From equation (3)

1.598T=450-1.5(600-600)

1.598T=450

T=\dfrac{450}{1.598}

T=281.60\ N

Hence, The tension in the rope is 281.60 N.

In an experiment, students release a block from rest at the top of an inclined plane. The block slides down the plane through a
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

B) Friction

Explanation:

The main source of error is the omission of the effect from friction between block and incline, which is directly proportional to the mass of the block. The force of gravity is constant. The friction force dissipates part of the gravitational potential energy, generating a final speed less than calculated under the consideration of a conservative system. Air resistance is neglected at low speeds like this case.

A boat traveled 280 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 7 hours. Trip back took 14 hours. What is the speed of t
avanturin [10]
Assuming 280 miles is the total distance travelled:
Let b = boat speed in still water
Let c = current speed.
For the downstream trip the speed is b + c. In 7 hours at the speed of (b + c) mph the boat travels 140 miles.
7(b + c) = 140 .............(1)
For the upstream trip the speed is b - c. In 14 hours at the speed of (b - c) mph the boat travels 140 miles.
14(b - c) = 140 ............(2)
The left hand sides of equations (1) and (2) are equal. Therefore we can write
7b + 7c = 14b - 14c ...........(3)
Rearranging equation (3) we get
21c = 7b
c = b/3 .......................(4)
The value for c obtained in equation (4) should now be substituted into equation (1) which can then be solved to find the value of b.
