Homework Statement
suppose that you can lift no more than 450N unaided.
a) how much can you lift using a 2 m long wheel barrow? assume that the wheelbarrow weighs 80N and that its center of gravity is .6m from the wheel. in addition, assume hat the load carried in the wheelbarrow is also...
Homework Statement
a. compute the torque developed by an industrial motor whose output is 225kW at an angular speed of 4000rpm.
b. a drum with negligible mass and .4m diameter is attached to the motor shaft, and the power output of the motor is used to raise a weight hanging from a rope...
Homework Statement
To find the height of a cliff, you drop a rock from the top and 10s ater, you hear the sound of it hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff. Ignoring air resistance, how high is the cliff if the speed of sound is 330m/s.
Homework Equations
Xf = Xo = VoT + 1/2aT^2...
ok so here is what i tried.
i drew it so that
T1 = time for rock to fall
T2 = time for sound to go back
Tt = Total time = 10s
so
T1+T2 = Tt = 10s
then I did
Vs = velocity of sound, so
Vs = deltaX / deltaT
solved for deltaX which = height of the cliff and got
deltaX = Vs(Tt-T1)...
Since it is all in one direction, straight path, the speed of sound is the velocity. If I plug that in, I still have two variables, time it takes for sound to travel back up the cliff, and how high the cliff is.
it is 10s total for ball to hit bottom, and sound to come back up, I can't just...

Homework Statement
A short train (engine + 4 cars) is accelerating at 1.1 m/s^2. if the mass of each car is 38000Kg, and if each car has negligible frictional forces acting on it, what are a) the force of the engine on the first car, b) force of the first car on the second car. and so on...
ok... push is a force. it points toward the object in the direction of the push. so when i solve for the net force i get...
sin(11)/mg = (x component of gravity) where mg = 1764N
that times the mass plus the push so...
Fx = (sin(11)/1764N) + push
what is push? V isn't a force so I...
when i drew the free body diagram, i drew the axes so that they were parallel and perpendicular to the ramp. i have the normal force going along the positive y, and then gravity having components in both the negative x and negative y directions.
is that it? if there is no acceleration from...
Homework Statement
A man pushes on a piano of mass 180kg so that it slides at a constant V of 12.0 cm/s down a ramp that is inclined at 11.0 degrees above the horizontal. No appreciable friction is cting on the piano. calculate the magnitude and direction of this push if the man pushes the...
