D) Both perform no work
Explanation:
The work accomplished by a force is defined as:

where
F represents the applied force
d denotes the displacement
is the angle highlighted between the applied force and the displacement vector
From this formula, it is clear that work is only done when displacement occurs, meaning the object has to move.
In this instance, as the wall is unmoving, the displacement is zero: d = 0, thus no work is performed.
Answer:
ΔL = MmRgt / (2m + M)
Explanation:
The system starts from rest, so the change in angular momentum correlates directly to its final angular momentum.
ΔL = L − L₀
ΔL = Iω − 0
ΔL = ½ MR²ω
To determine the angular velocity ω, begin by drawing a free body diagram for both the pulley and the block.
For the block, two forces act: the weight force mg downward and tension force T upward.
For the pulley, three forces are present: weight force Mg down, a reaction force up, and tension force T downward.
For the sum of forces in the -y direction on the block:
∑F = ma
mg − T = ma
T = mg − ma
For the sum of torques on the pulley:
∑τ = Iα
TR = (½ MR²) (a/R)
T = ½ Ma
Substituting gives:
mg − ma = ½ Ma
2mg − 2ma = Ma
2mg = (2m + M) a
a = 2mg / (2m + M)
The angular acceleration of the pulley is:
αR = 2mg / (2m + M)
α = 2mg / (R (2m + M))
Finally, the angular velocity after time t is:
ω = αt + ω₀
ω = 2mg / (R (2m + M)) t + 0
ω = 2mgt / (R (2m + M))
Substituting into the previous equations gives:
ΔL = ½ MR² × 2mgt / (R (2m + M))
ΔL = MmRgt / (2m + M)
The required lift force is approximately 866.92 N. To determine this, we first establish the shark's mass at 92 kg and its density at 1040 kg/m³. The volume of the shark is calculated by dividing mass by density, yielding 0.08846 m³. The buoyant force acting on the shark is then determined by multiplying the volume by the density of water and gravity, resulting in a lift force of 866.92 N.
