Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Billboard worker's weight = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension present in rope = 550 N

The total torques will be

-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m

The worker is positioned at 2.5 m

Softa [3030]
To solve this problem, it's crucial to convert all measurements to the same units.
We first need to convert 80 minutes into hours.
So:

80 minutes × (1 hour ÷ 60 minutes) = 1.3333 hours.
The flow rate we have is Q = 150 liters per hour.

To determine how many liters of water are released, we perform the following calculation:
150 liters/hour × 1.333 hours = 200 liters.

In conclusion, 200 liters of water will be released in 80 minutes.

A large crate sits on the floor of a warehouse. Paul and Bob apply constant horizontal forces to the crate. The force applied by
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

W = -510.98 J

Explanation:

Force = 43 N, 61° SW

Displacement = 12 m, 22° NE

The work done is calculated using:

W = F*d*cos(A)

where A is the angle between the applied force and displacement.

The angle A between the force and displacement is determined as A = 61 + 90 + 22 = 172°

Hence, W = 43 * 12 * cos(172)

This results in W = -510.98 J

The negative result indicates that the work is done contrary to the direction of the force applied.

Softa [3030]
When helium is released from a compressed container, the decompressed atoms expand and rise, causing the rubber balloon to inflate and float along. In this scenario, helium exists in a gaseous state.

To determine the height of a flagpole, Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of th
Softa [3030]

Answer:

H = 10.05 m

Explanation:

The stone reaches the top of the flagpole at both t = 0.5 s and t = 4.1 s

therefore, the total duration of the upwards motion above the peak of the pole is provided as

\Delta t = 4.1 - 0.5 = 3.6 s

now we have

\Delta t = \frac{2v}{g}

3.6 = \frac{2v}{9.8}

v = 17.64 m/s

this indicates the speed at the flagpole's top

at this point we have

v_f - v_i = at

17.64 - v_i = (-9.8)(0.5)

v_i = 22.5 m/s

the height of the flagpole is stated as

H = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}t

H = \frac{22.5 + 17.64}{2} (0.5)

H = 10.05 m
