On a part-time job, you are asked to bring a cylindrical iron rod of density 7800 kg/m3 , length 92.6 cm and diameter 2.95 cm from a storage room to a machinist.

Part A) Calculate the weight of the rod, w. The acceleration due to gravity, g= 9.81 m/s^2.w= 36.9 N

Part B) Now that you know the weight of the rod, do you think that you will be able to carry the rod without a cart? Yes or No?

Respuesta :

Answer:

48.4293354946 N

Yes

Explanation:

d = Diameter of rod = 2.95 cm

h = Length of rod = 92.6 cm

[tex]\rho[/tex] = Density of rod = 7800 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Volume of rod

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{4}\pi d^2h\\\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \pi\times (2.95\times 10^{-2})^2\times 92.6\times 10^{-2}[/tex]

Mass is given by

[tex]m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=7800\times \dfrac{1}{4}\times \pi\times (2.95\times 10^{-2})^2\times 92.6\times 10^{-2}\\\Rightarrow m=4.93673144695\ kg[/tex]

Weight is given by

[tex]W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=4.93673144695\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=48.4293354946\ N[/tex]

The weight of the rod is 48.4293354946 N

The mass of the rod is 4.93673144695 kg which is light. So, I will be able to carry the rod without a cart.
