A 120-MT concrete beam is lifted from the floor by two tandem heavy lift cranes up to a target height of 7.5 meters.
Calculate the weight of the beam. Use g = 9.8 m/s^2.
The weight of an object is given by the formula:
Weight = mass x gravity
Given that the mass of the concrete beam is 120 MT (which is equivalent to 120,000 kg) and the acceleration due to gravity (g) is 9.8 m/s^2, we can calculate the weight of the beam:
Weight = 120,000 kg x 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = 1,176,000 N
Therefore, the weight of the concrete beam is 1,176,000 Newtons.
To calculate the weight of the concrete beam, we can use the formula: Weight = Mass × acceleration due to gravity.
Given:
Mass of the concrete beam (m) = 120 MT = 120,000 kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = Mass × acceleration due to gravity
Weight = 120,000 kg × 9.8 m/s^2
Weight = 1,176,000 N
Therefore, the weight of the concrete beam is 1,176,000 Newtons.
