In Figure P12.59, an 80 kg construction worker sits down 2.0 m from the end of a 1450 kg
steel beam to eat his lunch. What is the tension in the cable?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tension in the cable is 1.53 x 104 N

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Mass of worker = 80 kg

worker sits 2.0 m from the end

Mass of steel beam = 1450 kg

02

Explanation

First draw the diagram as below to understand and solve the problem

And then equate the clockwise and anti-clock wise torque about the origin

We, get

Wb×3m+Ww×4m=Tsin30°×6m

Substitute the given value and solve for T

use weight as mg .. so multiply mass with g.

T=1450kg×9.8m/s2×3m+80kg×9.8m/s2×4m6m×sin30°T=15,255.3333NT=1.525×104N

A 1.3kg ball on the end of a lightweight rod is located at (x,y)=(0.3m,2.0m)where the yaxis is vertical. The other end of the rod is attached to a pivot at (x,y)=(0m,3.0m). What is the torque about the pivot? Write your answer using unit vectors.

Flywheels are large, massive wheels used to store energy. They can be spun up slowly, then the wheel’s energy can be released quickly to accomplish a task that demands high power. An industrial flywheel has a 1.5 m diameter and a mass of 250 kg. Its maximum angular velocity is 1200 rpm.
a. A motor spins up the flywheel with a constant torque of 50 N m. How long does it take the flywheel to reach top speed?
b. How much energy is stored in the flywheel?

c. The flywheel is disconnected from the motor and connected to a machine to which it will deliver energy. Half the energy stored in the flywheel is delivered in 2.0 s. What is the average power delivered to the machine?
d. How much torque does the flywheel exert on the machine?

A high-speed drill reaches 2000rpmin0.50s .

a. What is the drill's angular acceleration?

b. Through how many revolutions does it turn during this first 0.50s?

The three masses shown in FIGURE EX12.15 are connected by massless, rigid rods.

a. Find the coordinates of the center of mass.

b. Find the moment of inertia about an axis that passes through mass A and is perpendicular to the page.

c. Find the moment of inertia about an axis that passes through masses B and C.

An 800 g steel plate has the shape of the isosceles triangle shown in FIGURE P12.50. What are the x- and y-coordinates of the center of mass?
Hint: Divide the triangle into vertical strips of width dx, then relate the mass dm of a strip at position x to the values of x and dx.
