- Please do this specific question with these specific data as many have post it with different data! The ABC lift is at rest. You want to estimate the momentum that ABC exerts in C if the weight of A is 105 kg. AB is 12.15 m and weighs 400 kg, BC is 2.7 m and weighs 150 kg. Approximate AB and BC as evenly thick everywhere and homogeneous. Point A is 13.5 m above C in height and B is 2,025 m above C in height. A) What is the moment of force that ABC exerts in C if positive value is counterclockwise in the image? B) If AB instead weighs 150 kg and BC weighs 400 kg, but all other quantities are the same, calculate the torque in C.What is the moment of force that ABC exerts in C with these masses, if positive value is counterclockwise in the picture?arrow_forwardStudents are given two spherical balls made of different materials, but of identical mass and diameter to experiment with. Each ball is dropped from an initial height, h0. The “sad ball” comes to rest without visibly bouncing when it strikes the tabletop. The “happy ball” bounces up to a final height h, where h< h0 A fellow student wants to use one of the balls in a carnival game where cups are knocked over by a thrown ball. Which ball should they use, happy or sad? Why?arrow_forwardSuppose you are going on a long trip to your grandmother’s home in Seattle, 3,000 miles away. You have decided to drive your old Ford out there, which gets approximately 18 miles to the gallon when cruising at 70 mph. Because Grandma is an excellent cook and you can stay and eat at her place as long as you want (for free), you want to get to Seattle as economically as possible. However, you are worried about your fuel consumption rate at high speeds. You also have to balance cost of food, snacks, and sleep to balance against the cost of fuel. What is the optimum average speed you should use so as to minimize your total trip cost, CT?arrow_forward

- A chemical storage tank ruptures at a point 2 m hove the ground. Chemical leaves the tank in a jet inclined at 15 degrees to the horizontal, travelling at 10 m/s. If the flight of the chemical is ballistic and effects of air resistance are ignored, how far from the base of the tank does the jet reach? (Take g = 9.8 m/S^2). (A) 9.23 m (B) 5.10 m (C) There is not enough information to calculate the answer D) 7.61 marrow_forwardA particle is projected from a horizontal plane and has an initial speed of 50m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. For how long is the particle at least 20 m above the level of the plane? Hint: You may use the formulas for the horizontal x(t) and vertical y(t) displacement of the particle: x(t) = ucos(α)t, y(t) - usin(α)t - ½gt2 , g = 10m/sec2.arrow_forwardWhen a cyclist is riding west at 20 Km/hr, he feels it is raining at an angle of 450 with thevertical.

In the first second, it ejects 1/160 of its mass as exhaust gas and has an acceleration of 16.0 m/s2. What is vg, the speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket?arrow_forwardA ship arrives at the mouth of a river in water of density 1016 kg per cu. m with a freeboard of ‘S’ m. She then discharges 150 tonnes of cargo, and proceeds up river to a second port, consuming 14 tonnes of bunkers. When she arrives at the second port the freeboard is again ‘S’ m, the density of the water being 1004 kg per cu. m. Find the ship’s displacement on arrival at the second port.
