A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and weight M = 220 lbs. The pivot under the left end exerts a norma

l force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot, located a distance l = 4.00 m from the end exerts a normal force n2. A woman with a weight of 130 lbs steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right. How far can the woman walk before the beam tips?

x = 4,138 m. In this problem, we invoke the rotational equilibrium equation. Fixing our reference on the left-side pivot establishes the positive direction for counterclockwise rotation: ∑ τ = 0, leading to formulas where x = (-WL/2 + 4n₂) / W_woman. Converting to SI units where M = 2.72 kg and M_woman = 59.09 kg, and establishing equilibrium equations yields n₁ + n₂ = (2.72 + 59.09) 9.8. In cases where the system initiates rotation, n₁ equals 0, thus finding n₂ = 605,738 N. Calculation for x gives 4,138 m.

kicyunya [3294]

Response:

a) P = 370.993\,kPa, b) F = 25.948\,kN

Clarification:

a) The absolute pressure at a depth of 27.5 meters is:

P = P_{atm} + P_{man}

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (27.5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 370.993\,kPa

b) The force applied by the water is:

F = (P - P_{atm})\cdot A

F = (370.993\,kPa-101.3\,kPa)\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

F = 25.948\,kN

Calculate the buoyant force in air on a kilogram of titanium (whose density is about 4.5 grams per cubic centimeter). compare wi
ValentinkaMS [3465]
1) The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid can be described as:
B=d_f V_d g
where d_f indicates the fluid's density, V_d represents the volume of the fluid displaced, and g=9.81~m/s^2 signifies the gravitational acceleration.

2) To determine the volume of the displaced fluid, we note that the titanium object is entirely submerged in the fluid (air), thus this volume matches the volume of 1 Kg of titanium, which has a density of d=4.5~g/cm^3 = 4.5\cdot10^3~Kg/m^3. Using the correlation between density, volume, and mass, we derive
V_d= \frac{m}{d}= \frac{1~Kg}{4.5\cdot10^3Kg/m^3}=2.22\cdot10^{-4}~m^3

3) We can now revisit the equation in step 1) to compute the buoyant force. Given that the air density is d_f = 1~Kg/m^3, this provides us with
B=d_f V_d g=1~Kg/m^3 \cdot 2.22\cdot10^{-4}~m^3 \cdot 9.81~m/s^2=2.22\cdot10^{-3}~N

4) The weight of 1 Kg of titanium is:
W=mg=1~Kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2=9.81~N
Therefore, the buoyant force is negligible when compared to the weight.
