Let T be the force exerted on the rope by her. This force induces tension in the rope, which exerts an upward force on the crates, while the weight of the crate pulls downward. Thus, the net force acting on the crate can be expressed as mg - T, acting in the downward direction. According to Newton's law, we can set up the equation: mg - T = ma. Given that a = 0 (the speed remains constant), this simplifies our equation to mg - T = 0, which leads to T = mg. Therefore, T = 25 x 9.8 = 245 N, indicating that the force she needs to apply is 245 N.
Answer:
A rock weighing 50kg should be positioned at a distance of 0.5m from the pivot of the seesaw.
Explanation:
τchild=τrock
We will utilize the formula for torque:
(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)
The gravitational force acts equally on both objects.
(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)
We can eliminate gravity from both sides of the equation for simplification.
(m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)
Now employing the given masses for the rock and child. The seesaw's total length is 2 meters, with the child sitting at one end, placing them 1 meter from the center of the seesaw.
(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock
Solve for the distance where the rock should be positioned in relation to the seesaw's center.
drock=25kg⋅m50kg
drock=0.5m
The rod measures 450mm in length, while the disk has a radius of 75mm. An upward-supporting pin holds the assembly in place when Θ=0, and there exists a torsional spring with a constant of k=20N m/rad at the pin. One end of the rod connects to the pin, while the other connects to the disk.
