Concept explainers
Force on a building A large building shaped like a box is 50 m high with a face that is 80 m wide. A strong wind blows directly at the face of the building, exerting a pressure of 150 N/m2 at the ground and increasing with height according to P(y) = 150 + 2y, where y is the height above the ground. Calculate the total force on the building, which is a measure of the resistance that must be included in the design of the building.

- A force of 62,125 pounds pulls on a steel rod that has a diameter of 1800 inches. Find the force pulling on 1 square inch of the cross-sectional area. Round the answer to the nearest pound.arrow_forwardA cylindrical container has a volume of 84 cubic inches and a radius of 3 inches. Find the height of the container.arrow_forwardDuring a hockey match a forward shoots at goal and the ball is caught by the goalkeeper. When the ball hits the goalkeeper's glove it has a velocity of 42 m s-1. During the catch by the goalkeeper the force of the ball hitting the glove displaces the glove backwards by 22 cm after the ball has stopped moving. The mass of the hockey ball is 1 kg. Calculate: How much kinetic energy the ball posses immediately before it hits the glove. The work done by the goalkeeper when catching the ball. The impact force exerted by the goalkeeper's glove on the ball.arrow_forward
