How do we write on a pdf document? The worksheet that Mr R gave us we can not write on. So what do you want us to do?

When on Windows I use libre office, via portableapps, to write on pdf files…

I’d use Excel rather than Word, but same principle.

Paste the pdf as an image, then right click it and select “send to back” (or words to that effect).

You should then be able to insert a text box over the top, and write in that.

Why people use pdfs for things that need to be changed, I don’t know.

Some software (eg pdf-Xchange editor, though that one costs money) allows editing of or adding to pdfs, and last time I looked it was possible to edit files in Adobe Acrobat (though it’s possible that the file itself had fields designated as editable.) An alternative I’ve used is to load the pdf into gimp and add a text box with what I want in there, though furious’s suggestion of LibreOffice is a good one, too.

For the second part:
Taking moments about the wheel contact point:
What would the horizontal component of the force be?
Does the force along the handle need to be more or less than that?

Also to be picky, N = kg x g = about 9.8 kg, but probably they have been told to use 10 as an approximation (which engineers do all the time).

And also, to be picky, there’s the notion of precision in the answer. Especially, precision should be considered if 10 is the approximation for 9.8.

Things don’t need to be moving for you to take moments. The basic equations of static equilibrium are:

Considering all the forces on any stationary object:
The sum of all horizontal forces = 0
The sum of all vertical forces = 0
The sum of the moments about any point = 0

But having said that, my original comment may be misleading. Let me have another look and I’ll post later (have to go out now).

No, more than that.

I think his diagram is confusing things. He has calculated the horizontal force, but the diagram suggests it should be the total horizontal force.

I suggest drawing the horizontal and vertical reactions at the wheel, and the horizontal and vertical forces on the handle.

We know the sum of the horizontal forces is zero (so they are equal magnitude and opposite direction) and we know the sum of the vertical forces is 40 kg, so everything else can be found, knowing the two angles.

His answer now is 625N.

He is not confident that this is correct and says that his calculation for horizontal force was a coincidence, as he was just trying to calculate the total force using trig.

No, 625 N is much too high.

Maybe just take the horizontal force as correct for now, and calculate the total and the vertical component from the 35 degree angle.

He could then check the vertical and horizontal forces at the wheel and make sure the force is at the right angle. Note that the slope is 60 degrees to the horizontal, so the reaction force is towards the left and up at an angle of 30 degrees.

Okay, after all that he’s back to 325N :(

¿ where’s the accounting for the normal force ?

Have they covered the triangle of forces?

You can draw a triangle representing the forces:
- a vertical line representing the gravity force, 400 N
- an upward force to the left, at 30 degrees to horizontal, from the bottom of the vertical line, representing the reaction force on the wheel.
- an upward force to the right, at 35 degrees to the horizontal, from the left hand end of the reaction line to the top of the gravity line, representing the force on the handle.

Since you know the three angles and the length of the vertical line, you can calculate the length of the other two lines from geometry, and that gives you the reaction force on the wheel (lower line) and the force on the handle (upper line).

sorry, or reaction force, as The Rev Dodgson calls it, where is it accounted for

The Crown.

OK thanks Rule. Why is it an R though? He will ask.

The law love Latin.

Thanks AwesomeO. I thought you were joking when you said Regina :)

Regina = The Queen
Rex = The King

Either way, they get R.

Yep.

Sometimes also N = Nev.

God help up if it gets around that we’re providing useful answers to parents’ questions here.

Ms Speedy,

Look at the menu on the right, of Acrobat Reader (for PDFs) and it will have “fill & sign”

Click on that, select “fill and sign”.

You’ll see a little menu at the top where you can select a text box or tick or cross etc.

Click the text box, click on the PDF documents where you wish to type and just type straight onto the document in that position.

Bob’s ya uncle.

Thanks Woodie. I just tried it and it works, so will remember it for myself for next time.

I’m not sure which option Little Speedy chose when trying to sort it out all those weeks ago, but he did eventually sort it out.
