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.

A player throws a football 50.0 m at 61.0° north of west. what is the westward component of the displacement of the football?
inna [3103]

Answer: 24.24 m

Explanation:

A player launches a football 50.0 m at an angle of 61° to the north of west. We will break this down into vertical and horizontal elements.

Horizontal component: 50 cos 61° = 24.24 m directed westward

Vertical component: 50 sin 61° = 43.73 m directed toward the north.

Refer to the diagram below.

Therefore, the westward displacement of the football corresponds to the horizontal component of the displacement, which is 24.24 m.

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.

If the position of an object is zero at one instant, what is true about the velocity of that object?
ValentinkaMS [3465]
If the position of an object is zero at a particular moment, this does not provide any indication about its velocity. It might simply be moving through that point, and you observed it exactly when it was at zero.

Two blocks are attached to opposite ends of a massless rope that goes over a massless, frictionless, stationary pulley. One of t
Softa [3030]

Answer:

1/7 kg

Explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram for enhanced clarity regarding the question.

One of the blocks weighs 1.0 kg and accelerates downward at 3/4g.

g denotes the acceleration due to gravity.

Let M represent the block with known mass, while 'm' signifies the mass of the other block and 'a' refers to the acceleration of body M.

Given M = 1.0 kg and a = 3/4g.

By applying Newton's second law; \sum fy = ma_y

For the body with mass m;

T - mg = ma... (1)

For the body with mass M;

Mg - T = Ma... (2)

Combining equations 1 and 2 gives;

+Mg -mg = ma + Ma

Ma-Mg = -mg-ma

M(a-g) = -m(a+g)

Substituting M = 1.0 kg and a = 3/4g into this equation leads to;

3/4 g-g = -m(3/4 g+g)

3/4 g-g = -m(7/4 g)

-g/4 = -m(7/4 g)

1/4 = 7m/4

Multiplying gives: 28m = 4

m = 1/7 kg

Hence, the mass of the other box is 1/7 kg
