<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

33.9 pounds

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

In order for the ladder to be in equilibrium, the net torque should be equal to zero. Therefore, the torque in the opposite directions should equal each other:

Clockwise torque = Counter clockwise torque

Torque is the product of the applied force and the distance between that force and the axis of rotation.

Wι (7.5 ft) cos 53° + Wb (6 ft) cos 53° = F (15 ft) sin 53 °

Substitute the values for the weights of the ladder and the boy, respectively.

(20 lb) (7.5 ft)cos 53° + (75 lb) (6 ft) cos 53° = F(15 ft) sin 53°

Solving for F;

F = ((30 ×7.5 × cos 53°) + (75 × 6 × cos 53°))/ (15 × sin 53°)

= 33.9 lb

<u>= 33.9 Pounds</u>

The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of 7.50 × 105 N, so the tracks push forward on th

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. Complete description is presented below:

<em>A freight train has a mass of </em> $1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ <em>. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of </em> $7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ <em>, so the tracks push forward on the locomotive with a force of the same magnitude. Ignore aerodynamics and friction on the other wheels of the train. How long, in seconds, would it take to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour?</em>

If locomotive have a constant net force ( $F$ ), measured in newtons, then acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, must be constant and can be found by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F}{m}$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the freight train, measured in kilograms.

If we know that $F = 7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ and $m = 1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ , then the acceleration experimented by the train is:

$a = \frac{7.50\times 10^{5}\,N}{1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg}$

$a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time taken to accelerate the freight train from rest ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following formula:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$ (2)

Where:

$v$ - Final speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = 22.222\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the time taken by the freight train is:

$t = \frac{22.222\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 542.265\,s$

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

A rock is rolling down a hill. At position 1, it’s velocity is 2.0 m/s. Twelve seconds later, as it passes position 2, it’s velo

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer

Hi,

correct answer is {D} 3.5 m/s²

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Acceleration can occur when a moving body is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.

Acceleration is calculated by the equation =change in velocity/change in time

a= {velocity final-velocity initial}/(change in time)

a=v-u/Δt

The units for acceleration is meters per second square m/s²

In this example, initial velocity =2.0m/s⇒u

Final velocity=44.0m/s⇒v

Time taken for change in velocity=12 s⇒Δt

a= (44-2)/12 = 42/12

3.5 m/s²

Best Wishes!

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with spee

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

457.81 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, it is stated that it is a question under Doppler effect.

As a result, we use this form

fo = (c + vo) / (c - vs) × fs

fo = observed frequency by observer =?

c = speed of sound = 332 m/s

vo = velocity of observer relative to source = 45 m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 46 m/s ( it is taking a negative sign because the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the observer).

fs = frequency of sound wave by source = 459 Hz

By substituting the the values to the equation, we have

fo = (332 + 45) / (332 - (-46)) × 459

fo = (377/ 332 + 46) × 459

fo = (377/ 378) × 459

fo = 0.9974 × 459

fo = 457.81 Hz

100-ft-long horizontal pipeline transporting benzene develops a leak 43 ft from the high-pressure end. The diameter of the leak

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass flow rate of benzene from the leak in the pipeline containing benzene is:

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}$

Here, $Q_m$ is the mass flow rate through the leak of the pipeline. $A$ is the area of the hole, $C_o$ is the discharge rate, $\rho$ is the fluid density, $g_c$ is the gravitational constant and $P_g$ is the constant gauge pressure within the process unit.

The diametre of the leak (d) is 0.1 in. Convert from in to ft.

$d=(0.1 in)(\frac{1ft}{12in})\\=8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$

Calculate the area (A) of the hole. The area of the hole is.

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$

Substitute 3.14 for $\pi$ and $8.33\times 10^{-3}ft$ for d and calculate A.

$A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\frac{(3.14)(8.33\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}\\\\5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$

The specific gravity of benzene is 0.8794. Specific gravity is the ratio of th density of a substance to the density of a reference substance.

Specific gravity of benzene = density of benzenee/denity of reference substance

Rewrite the expression in terms of density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

Take the reference substance as water. Density of water is $62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ . Calculate density of benzene.

Density of benzene = specific gravity of benzene x density of reference substance

$=(0.8794)(62.4\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})\\\\54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$

Calculate the pressure at the point of leak. The pressure is the average of the pressure of the high and low pressure end. Write the expression to calculate the average pressure.

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

Calculate the distance from the downstream pressure end. The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total of the pipe is 100 ft.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

The distance from upstream pressure end is 43 ft. Total length of the pipe is 100 ft. Substitute the values in the equation.

Distance from the downstream pressure end = Total length of the pipe - Distance from the upstream pressure end

= 100ft - 43ft = 57 ft

Substitute 50 psig for upstream, 43 ft fr distance from the upstream pressure end, 40 psig for downstream pressure, 57 ft for distance from the downstream pressure end, and 100 ft for the total length of the horizontal pipeline and calculate $P_g$ .

Upstream x distance from upstream pressure end

$P_g$ =+DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE X DISTANCE FROM THE DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE END/ TOTAL LENGTH OF THE HORIZONTAL PIPELINE

$=\frac{(50psig\times 43ft)+(40psig \times 57ft)}{100ft}\\\\=44.3psig$

Convert the pressure from psig to $Ib_f/ft^2$

$P_g=(44.3psig)(\frac{1\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}}{1psig})(144\frac{in^2}{ft^2})\\\\=6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$

The leak is like a sharp orifice. Take the value of the discharge coefficient as 0.61.

Substitute $5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2$ for A. 0.61 for $C_o$ , $54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3}$ for $\rho$ , $32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2}$ for $g_c$ , and $6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2}$ for $P_g$ and calculate $Q_m$

$Q_m=AC_o\sqrt{2\rho g_cP_g}\\\\=(5.45\times 10^{-5}ft^2)(0.61)\sqrt{2(54.9\frac{Ib_m}{ft^3})(32.17\frac{ft.Ib_m}{Ib_f.s^2})(6,379.2\frac{Ib_f}{ft^2})}\\\\(3.3245\times 10^{-5}ft^2)\sqrt{22,533,031.21\frac{Ib^2_m}{ft^4.s^2}}\\\\=0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$

The mass flow rate of benzene through the leak in the pipeline is $0.158\frac{Ib_m}{s}$
