Two friends are carrying a crate up a flight of stairs. The crate is long and high, and its center of gravity is at its center. The stairs make a45angle with respect to the floor. The crate also is carried at a 45angle, so that its bottom side is parallel to the slope of the stairs (given figure). If the force each person applies is vertical, what is the magnitude of each of these forces? Is it better to be the person above or below on the stairs?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of both forces is F1=1370Nand F2=590N

So, is it better to be the below person.

Step by step solution

01

First condition of equilibrium

Net external force on the body must be zero for the center of mass of a body at rest to remain at rest.

F=0(1)

02

Identification of given data

Here we have given that Two friends are carrying a 200 kg crate up a flight of stairs.

So, m = 200 kg

The stairs make an 45angle with respect to the floor

So, =45.

The crate is 1.25 m long and 0.500 m high.

03

Finding the magnitude of each of these forces

The two-person applies forces F1and F2upward direction in opposite to the weight of the crate.

These forces apply equilibrium in the y-direction. So, by equation (1),

Fy=0F1+F2+W=0F1+F2=mgF1=mgF2 (2)

As the equilibrium is achieved, torque is now applied at the bottom person, and the torque sum is zero. So we can obtain an expression for F2,

bottom=0F2L2WLWW=0F2=WLWL2F2=(mg)LWL2

Now, substitute all values in the above equation,

F2=(200kg)9.8m/s20.375mcos451.25mcos45=590N

Now, put the value of F2in equation (2),

F1=(200kg)9.8m/s2590N=1370N

Hence, the value of both forces is F1= 1370 Nand F2=590N

So, is it better to be the below person.
