The figure shows a crane whose weight is 12.5 kN and center of gravity in G. (a) If the crane needs to suspend the 2.5kN drum, determine the reactions on the wheel in A and B when the boom is in the position shown.(b) Considering the same situation illustrated, what is the value of the maximum weight that the crane can suspend without tipping over?
Answers
Answer:
(a) Ra = 9.25 kN; Rb = 5.75 kN
(b) 26.7 kN
Explanation:
(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the crane. There are four forces:
Reaction Ra pushing up at A,
Reaction Rb pushing up at B,
Weight force 12.5 kN pulling down at G,
and weight force 2.5 kN pulling down at F.
Sum of moments about B in the counterclockwise direction:
∑τ = Iα
-Ra (0.66 m + 0.42 m + 2.52 m) + 12.5 kN (2.52 m + 0.42 m) − 2.5 kN ((3.6 m + 0.9 m) cos 30° − 2.52 m) = 0
-Ra (3.6 m) + 12.5 kN (2.94 m) − 2.5 kN (1.38 m) = 0
Ra = 9.25 kN
Sum of moments about A in the counterclockwise direction:
∑τ = Iα
Rb (0.66 m + 0.42 m + 2.52 m) − 12.5 kN (0.66 m) − 2.5 kN ((3.6 m + 0.9 m) cos 30° + 0.66 m + 0.42 m) = 0
Rb (3.6 m) − 12.5 kN (0.66 m) − 2.5 kN (4.98 m) = 0
Rb = 5.75 kN
Alternatively, you can use sum of the forces in the y direction as your second equation.
∑F = ma
Ra + Rb − 12.5 kN − 2.5 kN = 0
Ra + Rb = 15 kN
9.25 kN + Rb = 15 kN
Rb = 5.75 kN
However, you must be careful. If you make a mistake in the first equation, it will carry over to this equation.
(b) At the maximum weight, Ra = 0.
Sum of the moments about B in the counterclockwise direction:
∑τ = Iα
12.5 kN (2.52 m + 0.42 m) − F ((3.6 m + 0.9 m) cos 30° − 2.52 m) = 0
12.5 kN (2.94 m) − F (1.38 m) = 0
F = 26.7 kN

E. The left wire repels the right wire and exerts half the force as the right wire does.
F. The left wire repels the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.
Answers
Answer:
C. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.
Explanation:
To know what is the answer you first take into account the magnetic field generated by each current, for a distance of d:
[tex]B_1=\frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi d}=\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi d}(1A)\\\\B_2=\frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi d}=\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi d}(2A)=2B_1\\\\[/tex]
Next, you use the formula for the magnetic force produced by the wires:
[tex]\vec{F_B}=I\vec{L}\ X \vec{B}[/tex]
if the direction of the L vector is in +k direction, the first wire produced a magnetic field with direction +y, that is, +j and the second wire produced magnetic field with direction -y, that is, -j (this because the direction of the magnetic field is obtained by suing the right hand rule). Hence, the direction of the magnetic force on each wire, produced by the other one is:
[tex]\vec{F_{B1}}=I_1L\hat{k}\ X\ B_2(-\hat{j})=I_1LB_2\hat{i}=(2A^2)\frac{L\mu_o}{2\pi d}\hat{i}\\\\\vec{F_{B2}}=I_2L\hat{k}\ X\ B_2(\hat{j})=I_2LB_1\hat{i}=-(2A^2)\frac{L\mu_o}{2\pi d}\hat{i}[/tex]
Hence, due to this result you have that:
C. The left wire attracts the right wire and exerts as much force as the right wire does.

Answers
Answer:
Mass
Explanation:
Mass is the measure of amount of matter contained within any substance and hence mass determines the weight. Unit of mass is kilogram as per ISI system of units.
Mass is measured through a balance. The more is the mass of an object, the more the balance tilts towards the object side.
Weight is equal to product of mass and the gravitational constant i.e 9.8m/s^2
A 200.0 g block rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. It is pressed against a horizontal spring with spring constant 4500.0 N/m (assume that the spring is massless). The block is held in position such that the spring is compressed 4.00 cm shorter than its undisturbed length. The block is suddenly released and allowed to slide away on the frictionless surface. Find the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring.
Answers
Answer:
6 m/s
Explanation:
Given that :
mass of the block m = 200.0 g = 200 × 10⁻³ kg
the horizontal spring constant k = 4500.0 N/m
position of the block (distance x) = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m
To determine the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring; we applying the work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) with the kinetic energy.
i.e [tex]\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
[tex]kx^2 = mv^2[/tex]
[tex]4500* 0.04^2 = 200*10^{-3} *v^2[/tex]
[tex]7.2 =200*10^{-3}*v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v^{2} =\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}[/tex]
[tex]v =\sqrt{\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}}[/tex]
v = 6 m/s
Hence,the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring is 6 m/s
A steam engine takes in superheated steam at 270 °C and discharges condensed steam from its cylinder at 50 °C. The engine has an efficiency of 30%, and taken in 50 kJ from the hot steam per cycle. If a Carnot engine takes in the same amount of heat per cycle and operates at these temperatures, the work it can turn into is most likely to be:a) 15 kJ. b) 20 kJ. c) 10 kJ. d) 50 kJ.
Answers
Answer:
b) 20 kJ
Explanation:
Efficiency of carnot engine = (T₁ - T₂ ) / T₁ Where T₁ is temperature of hot source and T₂ is temperature of sink .
T₁ = 270 + 273 = 543K
T₂ = 50 + 273 = 323 K
Putting the given values of temperatures
efficiency = (543 - 323) / 543
= .405
heat input = 50 KJ
efficiency = output work / input heat energy
.405 = output work / 50
output work = 20.25 KJ.
= 20 KJ .

Answers
Answer:
The angular acceleration of CD player is [tex]13.93\ rad/s^2[/tex].
Explanation:
Initial angular speed of a CD player is 0 and final angular speed is 41.8 rad/s. Time to change the angular speed is 3 s.
It is required to find the angular acceleration. The change in angular speed of the CD player divided by time taken is called its angular acceleration. It can be given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{41.8-0}{3}\\\\a=13.94\ rad/s^2[/tex]

A cylindrical specimen of some metal alloy having an elastic modulus of 108 GPa and an original cross-sectional diameter of 3.7 mm will experience only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 1890 N is applied. Calculate the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.45 mm.
Answers
Answer:
L= 276.4 mm
Explanation:
Given that
E= 180 GPa
d= 3.7 mm
F= 1890 N
ΔL= 0.45 mm
We know that ,elongation due to load F in a cylindrical bar is given as follows
[tex]\Delta L =\dfrac{FL}{AE}[/tex]
[tex]L=\dfrac{\Delta L\times AE}{F}[/tex]
Now by putting the values in the above equation we get
[tex]L=\dfrac{0.45\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (3.7\times 10^{-3})^2\times 108\times 10^9}{1890}\ m[/tex]
L=0.2764 m
L= 276.4 mm

Explanation:
The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line is v(t) = ate−6t, where the speed v is measured in meters per second, the time t is measured in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant a is measured in meters per second squared. What is its maximum speed, expressed as a multiple of a? (Do not include units in your answer.)
Answers
Answer:
v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a
Explanation:
You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:
[tex]v(t)=ate^{-6t}[/tex] (1)
To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:
[tex]\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))][/tex] (2)
where you have use the derivative of a product.
Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:
[tex]a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.
Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):
[tex]v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a[/tex]
hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a
Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of its surroundings. Suppose that the temperature of a cup of coffee obeys Newton's law of cooling. If the coffee has a temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit when freshly poured, and 2.5 minutes later has cooled to 191 degrees in a room at 64 degrees, determine when the coffee reaches a temperature of 156 degrees.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The problem is based on Newton's law of cooling .
According to Newton's law
dQ / dt = k ( T - T₀ ) ,
dT / dt = k' ( T - T₀ ) ; dT / dt is rate of fall of temperature.
T is average temperature of hot body , T₀ is temperature of surrounding .
In the first case rate of fall of temperature = (210 - 191) / 2.5
= 7.6 degree / s
average temperature T = (210 + 191) /2
= 200.5
Putting in the equation
7.6 = k' ( 200.5 - 64 )
k' = 7.6 / 136.5
= .055677
In the second case :---
In the second case, rate of fall of temperature = (191 - 156) / t
= 35 / t , t is time required.
average temperature T = (156 + 191) /2
= 173.5
Putting in the equation
35 / t = .05567 ( 173.5 - 64 )
t = 5.74 minute .
A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical axle) that has a radius 14.9 cm, rotational inertia 5.92 x 10-3 kg·m2, and frictionless bearings. The cockroach's speed (relative to the ground) is 2.92 m/s, and the lazy Susan turns clockwise with angular velocity ω0 = 3.89 rad/s. The cockroach finds a bread crumb on the rim and, of course, stops. (a) What is the angular speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops? (b) Is mechanical energy conserved as it stops?
Answers
Answer:
-7.23 rad/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg
Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m
Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²
Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s
Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s
The initial angular momentum of rim is
Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89
Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s
The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is
L = -mvr
L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149
L = -0.068 kgm²/s
This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together
2.3*10^-2 + -0.068
L' = -0.045 kgm²/s
After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is
I(f) = I + mr²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²
I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3
I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²
Final angular momentum of the disk is
L'' = I(f).w(f)
L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)
Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have
-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0
w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3
w(f) = -7.23 rad/s
Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed
b)
The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops

Answer:

D. i. 6.3 × 10⁻¹ J
ii. 1.4 × 10⁻² W
iii. 1.57 × 10³ Curie
E. 0.129 Ω
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
Mass of tumor = 0.20 kg
Activity of Cobalt-60 = 2.60 × 10⁻⁴ Ci
Photon energy = 1.25 MeV
(i) The energy, E, delivered to the tumor is given by the relation;
[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\left (Number \, of \, decay / seconds \right )\times \left (Energy \, of \, photon \right )[/tex]
[tex]E = \frac{1}{2}\left (2.6\times 10^{-4}Ci )\times \left (\frac{3.70\times 10^{10}decays/s}{1 Ci} \right )\times 1.25\times 10^{6}eV\times \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}J}{1eV}[/tex]
E = 9.62 × 10⁻⁷ J/s
(ii) The equation for absorbed dose is given as follows;
Absorbed dose, D, in Grays Gy = (Energy Absorbed Joules J)/Mass kg
Therefore, absorbed dose = (9.62 × 10⁻⁷ J/s)/( kg) = 4.81 × 10⁻⁶ Gy
1 Gray = 100 rad
4.81 × 10⁻⁷ Gy = 100 × 4.81 × 10⁻⁶ = 4.81 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s
(iii) Equivalent dose, H, is given by the relation;
H = D × Radiation factor, [tex]w_R[/tex]
∴ H = 0.7 × 4.81 × 10⁻⁴ rad/s = 3.37 × 10⁻⁴ Sv = 3.37 × 10⁻⁴ rem/s
(iv) The exposure time required for an equivalent dose of 200 rem is given as follows;
[tex]\dot{H} = \dfrac{H}{t}[/tex]
Therefore;
[tex]t= \dfrac{200}{{3.37 \times 10^{-4}} } = 593471.81 \, s[/tex]
∴ t = 6.9 days
B. The number of electrons ejected is given by the relation;
[tex]N = \frac{P}{E} = \frac{P \times \lambda}{hc}[/tex]
[tex]N = \dfrac{2.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 400 \times 10^{-9}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8} = 4.025 \times 10^{15}/s[/tex]
(ii) The power carried by the electron
The energy carried away by the electrons is given by the relation;
[tex]KE_e = hv - \Phi[/tex]
[tex]KE_e = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{400 \times 10^{-9}} - 2.31 \times \frac{1.6 \times 10 ^{-19} }{1}[/tex]
[tex]KE_e = 4.9695 \times 10^{-19} - 3.696 \times 10 ^{-19} = 1.2735 \times 10^{-19} J[/tex]
Power, P[tex]_e[/tex], carried away by the electron = 4.025 × 10¹⁵ × 1.2735 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 0.512 mW
C. The given parameters are;
d = 1.19 mm, ∴ r = 1.19/2 = 0.595 × 10⁻³ m
l = 50 mm = 5 × 10⁻³ m
V = 500 ml = 5 × 10⁻⁴ m³
η = 0.0027 Pa
p = 1,900 Pa.
[tex]\dfrac{V}{t} = \dfrac{\pi }{8} \times \dfrac{P/l}{\eta } \times r^4[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{8\times \eta\times V\times l }{\pi \times P \times r^4}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{8\times 0.0027 \times 5 \times 10^{-4} \times 5 \times 10^{-2} }{\pi \times 1900 \times (0.595 \times 10^{-4} )^4}[/tex]
t = 7218092.2 seconds
D) i. Energy absorbed is given by the relation;
E = m×D
Where:
D = 35 Gray = 35 J/kg
m = 18 g = 18 × 10⁻³ kg
∴ E = 35 × 18 × 10⁻³ = 6.3 × 10⁻¹ J
ii. Total time for treatment = 15 × 5 = 75 minutes
Energy absorbed = 6.3 × 10⁻¹ × 100 = 63 J
Power = Energy(in Joules)/Time (in seconds)
∴ Power = 63/(75×60) = 1.4 × 10⁻² W
iii. Whereby the power is provided by 0.5% of the photons emitted by the source, we have;
[tex]P_{source}= \frac{P_{beam}}{0.005} =\frac{0.0014}{0.005} =0.28 \, W[/tex]
1 MeV = 1.60218 × 10⁻¹³ J
0.03 MeV = 0.03 × 1.60218 × 10⁻¹³ J = 4.80654 × 10⁻¹⁵ J/photon
Therefore, the number of disintegration per second = 0.28 J/s ÷ 4.80654 × 10⁻¹⁵ J/photon = 5.83 × 10¹³ disintegrations per second
1 Curie = 3.7 × 10¹⁰ disintegrations per second
Hence, 5.83 × 10¹³ disintegrations per second = (5.83 × 10¹³)/(3.7 × 10¹⁰) Curie
= 1.57 × 10³ Curie
E. The parameters given are;
Density of water = 1000 kg/m³
Volume of water = 250 ml = 0.00025 m³
Initial temperature, T₁, = 25°C
Final temperature, T₂, = 100°C
Change in temperature, ΔT = 100 - 25 = 75°
Specific heat capacity of the water = 4200 J/kg/°C
Mass of water = Density × Volume = 1000 × 0.00025 = 0.25 kg
∴ Heat supplied = 4200 × 0.25 × 75 = 78,750 J
Time to heat the water = 45.0 sec
Therefore, power = Energy/time = 78750/45 = 1750 W
The formula for electrical power = I²R =VI = V²/R
Therefore, where V = 15.0 V, we have;
15²/R = 1750
R = 15²/1750 = 0.129 Ω.
The resistance of the heater = 0.129 Ω.
If Jim could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 440 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long (in millions of years, in 106 years) would he take to drive to a nearby star that is 12.0 light-years away? Use 9.461 × 1012 km/light-year and 8766 hours per year (365.25 days).
Answers
Answer:
t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years
Explanation:
The equation used in the case of constant speed is:
s = vt
t = s/v
where,
s = distance = 12 light years
s = (12 light years)(9.461 x 10¹² km/light year) = 113.532 x 10¹² km
v = speed = 440 km/hr
t = time passed = ?
Therefore,
t = (113.532 x 10¹² km)/(440 km/hr)
t = 2.58 x 10¹¹ hr
Now, converting it to years:
t = (2.58 x 10¹¹ hr)(1 year/8766 hr)
t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years
To understand thermal linear expansion in solid materials. Most materials expand when their temperatures increase. Such thermal expansion, which is explained by the increase in the average distance between the constituent molecules, plays an important role in engineering. In fact, as the temperature increases or decreases, the changes in the dimensions of various parts of bridges, machines, etc., may be significant enough to cause trouble if not taken into account. That is why power lines are always sagging and parts of metal bridges fit loosely together, allowing for some movement. It turns out that for relatively small changes in temperature, the linear dimensions change in direct proportion to the temperature.
For instance, if a rod has length L0 at a certain temperature T0 and length L at a higher temperature T, then the change in length of the rod is proportional to the change in temperature and to the initial length of the rod: L - L0 = αL0(T - T0),
or
ΔL = αL0ΔT.
Here, α is a constant called the coefficient of linear expansion; its value depends on the material. A large value of α means that the material expands substantially as the temperature increases; smaller values of α indicate that the material tends to retain its dimensions. For instance, quartz does not expand much; aluminum expands a lot. The value of α for aluminum is about 60 times that of quartz!
