A block weighting 400kg rests on a horizontal surface and support on top of it another block of weight 100kg placed on the top of it as shown. The block w2 is attached to avertical wall by a string 6m long. If the coefficient of friction between all surface is 0.25 and the system is in equilibrium find the magnitude of the horizontal force applied to the lower block

Answers

The horizontal force applied to the block is approximately 1,420.84 N

The known parameters;

The mass of the block, w₁ = 400 kg

The orientation of the surface on which the block rest, w₁ = Horizontal

The mass of the block placed on top of the 400 kg block, w₂ = 100 kg

The length of the string to which the block w₂ is attached, l = 6 m

The coefficient of friction between the surface, μ = 0.25

The state of the system of blocks and applied force = Equilibrium

Strategy;

Calculate the forces acting on the blocks and string

The weight of the block, W₁ = 400 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 3,924 N

The weight of the block, W₂ = 100 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 981 N

Let T represent the tension in the string

The upward force from the string = T × sin(θ)

sin(θ) = √(6² - 5²)/6

Therefore;

The upward force from the string = T×√(6² - 5²)/6

The frictional force = (W₂ - The upward force from the string) × μ

The frictional force, [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] = (981 - T×√(6² - 5²)/6) × 0.25

The tension in the string, T = [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] × cos(θ)

∴ T = (981 - T×√(6² - 5²)/6) × 0.25 × 5/6

Solving, we get;

[tex]T = \dfrac{5886}{\sqrt{6^2 - 5^2} + 28.8} \approx 183.27[/tex]

[tex]Frictional \ force, F_{f2} = \left (981 - \dfrac{5886}{\sqrt{6^2 - 5^2} + 28.8} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{6^2 - 5^2} }{6} \times 0.25 \right) \approx 219.92[/tex]

The frictional force on the block W₂, [tex]F_{f2}[/tex] ≈ 219.92 N

Therefore;

The force acting the block w₁, due to w₂ [tex]F_{w2}[/tex] = 219.92/0.25 ≈ 879.68

The total normal force acting on the ground, N = W₁ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{w2}}[/tex]

The frictional force from the ground, [tex]\mathbf{F_{f1}}[/tex] = N×μ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{f2}}[/tex] = P

Where;

P = The horizontal force applied to the block

P = (W₁ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{w2}}[/tex]) × μ + [tex]\mathbf{F_{f2}}[/tex]

Therefore;

P = (3,924 + 879.68) × 0.25 + 219.92 ≈ 1,420.84

The horizontal force applied to the block, P ≈ 1,420.84 N

Introduction

Waves are important for building up and breaking down shorelines. Waves transport sand onto and off of beaches. They transport sand along beaches. Waves carve structures at the shore.

Wave Action and Erosion

All waves are energy traveling through some type of material, such as water (Figure below). Ocean waves form from wind blowing over the water.

Ocean waves are energy traveling through water.

The largest waves form when the wind is very strong, blows steadily for a long time, and blows over a long distance.

The wind could be strong, but if it gusts for just a short time, large waves won’t form. Wave energy does the work of erosion at the shore. Waves approach the shore at some angle so the inshore part of the wave reaches shallow water sooner than the part that is further out. The shallow part of the wave ‘feels’ the bottom first. This slows down the inshore part of the wave and makes the wave ‘bend.’ This bending is called refraction.

Wave refraction either concentrates wave energy or disperses it. In quiet water areas, such as bays, wave energy is dispersed, so sand is deposited. Areas that stick out into the water are eroded by the strong wave energy that concentrates its power on the wave-cut cliff (Figure below).

The wave erodes the bottom of the cliff, eventually causing the cliff to collapse.

Other features of wave erosion are pictured and named in Figure below. A wave-cut platform is the level area formed by wave erosion as the waves undercut a cliff. An arch is produced when waves erode through a cliff. When a sea arch collapses, the isolated towers of rocks that remain are known as sea stacks.

(a) The high ground is a large wave-cut platform formed from years of wave erosion. (b) A cliff eroded from two sides produces an arch. (c) The top of an arch erodes away, leaving behind a tall sea stack.

Wave Deposition

Rivers carry sediments from the land to the sea. If wave action is high, a delta will not form. Waves will spread the sediments along the coastline to create a beach (Figure below). Waves also erode sediments from cliffs and shorelines and transport them onto beaches.

Sand deposits in quiet areas along a shoreline to form a beach.

Beaches can be made of mineral grains, like quartz, rock fragments, and also pieces of shell or coral (Figure below).

Quartz, rock fragments, and shell make up the sand along a beach.

Waves continually move sand along the shore. Waves also move sand from the beaches on shore to bars of sand offshore as the seasons change. In the summer, waves have lower energy so they bring sand up onto the beach. In the winter, higher energy waves bring the sand back offshore.

Some of the features formed by wave-deposited sand are in Figure below. These features include barrier islands and spits. A spit is sand connected to land and extending into the water. A spit may hook to form a tombolo.

Examples of features formed by wave-deposited sand.

Shores that are relatively flat and gently sloping may be lined with long narrow barrier islands (Figure below). Most barrier islands are a few kilometers wide and tens of kilometers long.

(a) Barrier islands off of Alabama. A lagoon lies on the inland side. (b) Barrier islands, such as Padre Island off the coast of Texas, are made entirely of sand. (c) Barrier islands are some of the most urbanized areas of our coastlines, such as Miami Beach.

In its natural state, a barrier island acts as the first line of defense against storms such as hurricanes. When barrier islands are urbanized (Figure above), hurricanes damage houses and businesses rather than vegetated sandy areas in which sand can move. A large hurricane brings massive problems to the urbanized area.

Protecting Shorelines

Intact shore areas protect inland areas from storms that come off the ocean (Figure below).

Dunes and mangroves along Baja California protect the villages that are found inland.

What is meant by a simple pendulum ?

When a point mass is suspended from a fixed support by a light, non-extensible string, the instrument is said to be a simple pendulum.

Here,

Let the mass of the bob be m. The simple pendulum is attached to the fixed support with a string having length l. The pendulum makes an angle of 15° with the vertical from the equilibrium point.

Let T be the tension acting on the string.

As, the bob passes through the angle,

The weight of the bob becomes equal to the vertical component of the tension.

mg = T cos15°

Also, the horizontal component of the tension,

T sin15° = ma

By solving these two equations, we get that,

Acceleration of the simple pendulum,

a = g tan15°

a = 9.8 x 0.267

a = 2.62 m/s²

Hence,

Acceleration of the simple pendulum is 2.62 m/s².

Part B: How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in series?

Part C: How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in parallel?

Answers

Answer:

Part A - 4.084 mJ

Part B - 0.908 mJ

Part C - 8.168 mJ

Explanation:

Part A: How much energy is stored in the capacitor network as shown in (Figure 1)?

Since capacitors C₂ and C₃ are in series, their equivalent capacitance is C',

1/C' = 1/C₂ + 1/C₃      (Since C₁ = C₂ = C₃ = C)

1/C' = 1/C + 1/C

1/C' = 2/C

C' = C/2

Since C' is in parallel with C₁, the equivalent capacitance for the circuit is C" = C₁ + C' = C + C/2 = 3C/2

C" = 3C/2

The energy stored in the circuit, W = 1/2C"V² where C" = equivalent capacitance = 3C/2 and V = voltage = 15.0 V

W = 1/2C"V²

W = 1/2(3C/2)V²

W = 3CV²/4

since C = 24.2 μF = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F

W = 3CV²/4

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F (15.0 V)²/4

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F × 225 V²/4

W = 16335/4 × 10⁻⁶ FV²

W = 4083.75 × 10⁻⁶ J

W = 4.08375 × 10⁻³ J

W = 4.08375 mJ

W ≅ 4.084 mJ

Part B: How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in series?

If the capacitors are connected in series, their equivalent resistance is C'

and 1/C' = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

Since C₁ = C₂ = C₃ = C

1/C' = 1/C + 1/C + 1/C

1/C' = 3/C

C' = C/3

The energy stored in the circuit, W = 1/2C'V² where C' = equivalent capacitance = C/3 and V = voltage = 15.0 V

W = 1/2C'V²

W = 1/2(C/3)V²

W = CV²/6

since C = 24.2 μF = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F

W = CV²/6

W = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F (15.0 V)²/6

W = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F × 225 V²/6

W = 5445/6 × 10⁻⁶ FV²

W = 907.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

W = 0.9075 × 10⁻³ J

W = 0.9075 mJ

W ≅ 0.908 mJ

Part C: How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in parallel?

If the capacitors are connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is C'

and C' = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

Since C₁ = C₂ = C₃ = C

C' = C + C + C

C' = 3C

The energy stored in the capacitor network, W = 1/2C'V² where C' = equivalent capacitance = 3C and V = voltage = 15.0 V

W = 1/2C'V²

W = 1/2(3C)V²

W = 3CV²/2

since C = 24.2 μF = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F

W = 3CV²/2

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F (15.0 V)²/2

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F × 225 V²/2

W = 16335/2 × 10⁻⁶ FV²

W = 8167.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

W = 8.1675 × 10⁻³ J

W = 8.1675 mJ

W ≅ 8.168 mJ

Answer:

Displacement current flows in the dielectric material(insulated region)

Explanation:

Firstly a capacitor stores charge when a capacitor is charging (or discharging), current flows in the circuit. Also, there is no charge transfer in the dielectric material in the capacitor which is contradictory to the flow of current. Hence, displacement current is the current in the insulated region due to the changing electric flux.

A standard bathroom scale is placed on an elevator. A 28 kg boy enters the elevator on the first floor and steps on the scale. What will the scale read (in newtons) when the elevator begins to accelerate upward at 0.5 m/s2

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law is pretty much the standard for all motion that involves a force. It applies to gravitational force and torque and friction and weight on an elevator. The main formula for force is

F = ma. We have to adjust that to take into account that when the elevator is moving up, that "surge" of acceleration weighs down a bit on the scale, causing it to read higher than the actual weight until the acceleration evens out and there is no acceleration at all (no acceleration simply means that the velocity is constant; acceleration by definition is a change in velocity, and if there is no change in velocity, there is 0 acceleration). The force equation then becomes

[tex]F_n-w=ma[/tex]  where [tex]F_n[/tex] is normal force. This is what the scale will read, which is what we are looking for in this problem (our unknown). Since we are looking for [tex]F_n[/tex], that is what we will solve this literal equation for:

[tex]F_n=ma+w[/tex] .  m is the mass of the boy, a is the acceleration of the elevator (which is going up so we will call that acceleration positive), and w is weight. We have everything but the unknown and the weight of the boy. We find the weight:

w = mg so

w = 28(9.8) and

w = 274.4 N BUT rounding to the correct number of significance we have that the weight is actually

w = 270 N.

Filling in the elevator equation:

[tex]F_n=28(.50)+270[/tex] and according to the rules of significant digits, we have to multiply the 28(.50) {notice that I did add a 0 there for greater significance; if not that added 0 we are only looking at 1 significant digit which is pretty much useless}, round that to 2 sig fig's, and then add to 170:

[tex]F_n=14+270[/tex] and adding, by the rules, requires that we round to the tens place to get, finally:

[tex]F_n=280N[/tex]  So you see that the surge in acceleration did in fact add a tiny bit to the weight read by the scale; conversely, if he were to have moved down at that same rate, the scale would have read a bit less than his actual weight). Isn't physics like the coolest thing ever!?

A man is pulling a 20 kg box with a rope that makes an angle of 60 with the horizontal.If he applies a force of 150 N and a frictional force of 15 N is present, calculate the acceleration of the box.​

Answers

F (horizontal) = (150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N = (20 kg) a

==>   a = ((150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N)/(20 kg) = 3 m/s²

To calculate the acceleration of the box, we need to consider the net force acting on it. So, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s².

The net force is the vector sum of the applied force and the force of friction. First, let's find the horizontal and vertical components of the applied force:

Horizontal component of the applied force (F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex]) = F[tex]_{applied}[/tex] × cos(θ)

F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] = 150 N × cos(60°)

F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] = 150 N × 0.5

F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] = 75 N

Vertical component of the applied force (F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex]) = F[tex]_{applied}[/tex] × sin(θ)

F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex] = 150 N × sin(60°)

F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex] = 150 N × (√3 / 2)

F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex] ≈ 129.9 N

Now, let's calculate the net force in the horizontal direction:

Net Force in the horizontal direction (F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex]) = F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] - F[tex]_{friction}[/tex]

F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex] = 75 N - 15 N

F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex] = 60 N

Now, we can calculate the acceleration (a) using Newton's second law of motion, F = ma:

F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex] = m × a

60 N = 20 kg × a

Now, solve for acceleration (a):

a = 60 N / 20 kg

a = 3 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s².

Suppose your actual height is 5 feet and 5.2 inches. A tape measure which can be read tothe nearest 1/8 of an inch gives your height as 65 3/8 inches. The laser device at the clinic that givesreadings to the nearest hundredth of an inch says you are 65.31 inches.

Required:
a. Which measuring device is more accurate?
b. Which measuring device is more precise?

Answers

Answer:

a) The laser device

b) The tape

Explanation:

First, there is a need to understand what accuracy and precision mean.

Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to its true (pre-determined) value.

Precision is the closeness of repeated measurements to each other.

Since 1 feet = 12 inches, then, 5 feet and 5.2 inches would be equivalent to 65.2 inches. This value represents the true value of my height.

The tape measured the height as 65 3/8, which is equivalent to 65.375 inches.

The laser device measured the height as 65.31.

Error = true value - measured value

Absolute error from the tape = 65.2 - 65.375

                                       = -0.175 inches

Absolute error from laser device = 65.2 - 65.31

                                 = -0.11

a) The magnitude of error from the tape is more than that of the laser device. Hence, the laser device is said to be more accurate.

b) Even though there were just single readings from both instruments, the tape can be read to the nearest 1/8 of an inch and as such, can give more precisive measurements than the laser device.
