The applied force
Answer to Problem 10TP
The applied force is around
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Number of bricks in the wheel barrow is
Mass of each brick is
Formula used:
Write the expression for force.
Here,
Write the expression for torque.
The mechanical
The torque due to the output force is equal n magnitude and opposite in direction o the torque caused by the weight. Thus,
Since, the mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force. The ratio can be written as,
Conclusion:
Force due to wheelbarrow is calculated as,
Force due to the weight of
Total force due to the weight is calculated as,
The net torque s calculated as,
The output force is calculated as,
The input force is calculated as,
For an empty wheelbarrow the output force is,
The input force for an empty wheelbarrow is calculated as,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the applied force is around

- 4. Abbot and Costello are transporting a 0.125m3 cubic block along a ramp inclined at 20°. They tied the block under the midpoint of a 3m, 2kg, pole-arm. Abbot is at the lower end of the pole while Costello leads the pair up, holding the other end of the pole. Calculate the upward forces exerted by Abbot and Costello during the transport if the block weighs 1000N.arrow_forwardConsider a cantilever viewing platform extending over the rim of a cliff as shown below. In an unsafe situation, the platform would pivot about the cliff's edge. Without fixing bolts, what is the maximum mass capacity m of the platform? The following quantities are assumed known: L (m), M (kg), m (kg), and x (m). The gravity force Mg acts in the middle of the platform. The platform thickness can be neglected. The ground force N is vertical but has unknown magnitude. In the limiting case where the platform starts to pivot about the cliff's edge, d = 0. Find the magnitude of N in the safe situation using the fact that the net force exerting on the platform is zero (equilibrium of forces). Write the moments of force about the cliff's edge for all the forces shown in the figure in the safe situation where d > 0.

Treat the pulleys as solid cylinders. The value of r is 1. The mass of the small pulley is M1 = 58 kg while the larger pulley is M2 = 137 kg. Ignore the mass of the pulley connected to the truck. Are the masses of the pulleys M1 and M2 needed in the calculation (answer this question to yourself only)? e = 45° Note: final answer with zero decimal place.arrow_forward

- Which of the following statements is true about the relationship between the dot product of two vectors and the product of the magnitudes of the vectors? (a) AB is larger than AB. (b) AB is smaller than AB. (c) AB could be larger or smaller than AB, depending on the angle between the vectors. (d) AB could be equal to AB.arrow_forwardScissors are like a double-lever "Stem, Which of the Simple machines in Figure 9.23 and Figure 9.24 is most analogous to scissors? Figure 9.23 A nail puller is a lever with a large mechanical advantage. The external forces on the nail puller are represented by solid arrows. The force that the nail puller applies to the nail ( Fo ) is not a force on the nail puller. The reaction force the nail exerts back on the puller ( Fn ) is an external force and is equal and opposite to Fo. The perpendicular lever arms of the input and output forces are li and l0 Figure 9.24 (a) In the case of the wheelbarrow, the output force or load is between the pivot and the input force. The pivot IS the wheel's axle. Here, the output force is greater than the input force. Thus, a wheelbarrow enables you to lift much heavier loads than you could with your body alone. (b) In the case of the shovel, the input force is between the pivot and the load, but the input lever arm is shorter than the output lever arm. The pivot is at the handle held by the right hand. Here, the output force (supporting the shovel's load) is less than the input force (from the hand nearest the load), because the Input is exerted closer to the pivot than is the outputarrow_forwardAs shown below, a weeder is designed with a built in pivot point.
