A solid steel cylinder is standing (on one of its ends) vertically on the floor. The length of the cylinder is 3.2 m and its rad

ius is 59 cm. When an object is placed on top of the cylinder, the cylinder compresses by an amount of 5.6 10-7 m. What is the weight of the object?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Young's Module and its respective mathematical and modular definitions. In other words, Young's Module can be expressed as

$\Upsilon = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Where,

F = Force/Weight

A = Area

$\Delta L$ = Compression

$L_0$ = Original Length

According to the values given we have to

$\Upsilon_{steel} = 200*10^9Pa$

$\Delta L = 5.6*10^{-7}m$

$L_0 = 3.2m$

$r= 0.59m \rightarrow A = \pi r^2 = \pi *0.59^2 = 1.0935m^2$

Replacing this values at our previous equation we have,

$\Upsilon = \frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

$200*10^9 = \frac{F/1.0935}{5.6*10^{-7}/3.2}$

$F = 38272.5N$

Therefore the Weight of the object is 3.82kN

A vehicle has an initial velocity of v0 when a tree falls on the roadway a distance xf in front of the vehicle. The driver has a

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)$

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the vehicle, $v_o$

distance between the car and the tree, $x_f$

time taken to respond to the situation, $t$

acceleration of the car after braking, $a$

Using equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.s$ ..............(1)

where:

$v=$ final velocity of the car when it hits the tree

$u=$ initial velocity of the car when the tree falls

$a=$ acceleration after the brakes are applied

$s=$ distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.

$s=v_o\times t$

Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:

$v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)$ (negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)

The drawing shows a person (weight W = 588 N, L1 = 0.838 m, L2 = 0.398 m) doing push-ups. Find the normal force exerted by the f

zhenek [66]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Force on each hand is 196.22 N

Force on each foot is 95.8 N

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding of this question let us explain some concepts

Normal Force:

We can define normal force Fn as that type of force which makes a 90 degree angle with the surface on which it is exerted.

Torque:

We can define torque as the moment of forces that tends to produce or cause rotation

From the question we are given that

Weight of body is (W) = 584 N

The normal force on both hands (Ha) = ?

The normal force on both legs (Lg) = ?

Looking at the diagram the person is at equilibrium so

584 = Ha + Lg

an also this mean that torques acting on the body is balanced

So, 0.410 Ha = 0.840 Lg

Making Lg the subject of formula in the equation above we

Lg = 0.4881 Ha

Considering the first equation and replacing Lg with this recent equation we have

584 = Ha + 0.4881 Ha

Therefore Ha = 392.44 N

This value obtained is for both hands for each hand we divide by 2

Therefore we have for each hand $= 392.44/2$ =196.55 N

Since we have been able to get the force on both hands we can substitute it in to the equation where we made Lg the subject of formula and we have

Lg = 0.4881 × 392.44

= 191.22 N

The value above is the force on both legs to obtain the force on each leg we have

191.22/2 = 95.8 N.

What is the kinetic energy of a 100 kg object that is moving with a speed of 12.5m/s

Doss [256]

The kinetic energy of any moving object is

(1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

For the object you described, that's

(1/2) (100 kg) (12.5 m/s)²

= (50 kg) (156.25 m²/s²)

= 7,812.5 joules

Kimonoski takes a 9-minute shower every day. The shower uses about 1.8 gal per minute of water. He also uses 23 gallons of hot w

ioda

Answer:

$Q_{week} = 458884.6\, BTU$

Explanation:

The weekly water consumption of Kimonoski is:

$m_{bath,week} = (62.4\,\frac{lbm}{ft^{3}})\cdot (1.8\,\frac{gal}{min} )\cdot (\frac{0.134\,ft^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot (\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} )\cdot (9\,min)\cdot (\frac{60\,s}{1\,min} )\cdot (7\,\frac{days}{week} )\cdot (1\,week)$

$m_{bath.week} = 948.205\,lbm$

$m_{others, week} = (62.4\,\frac{lbm}{ft^{3}})\cdot (23\,gal)\cdot (\frac{0.134\,ft^{3}}{1\,gal} )\cdot (7\,\frac{days}{week} )\cdot (1\,week)$

$m_{others, week} = 1346.218\,lbm$

$m_{week} = m_{bath,week} + m_{others, week}$

$m_{week} = 2294.423\,lbm$

The total energy required per week for hot water is:

$Q_{week} = m_{week}\cdot c_{p,water}\cdot \Delta T$

$Q_{week} =(2294.423\,lbm)\cdot (1\,\frac{BTU}{lbm\cdot ^{\textdegree}F} )\cdot (50^{\textdegree}F)$

$Q_{week} = 458884.6\, BTU$

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

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

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.
