NeX [460]

Answer:

The transverse displacement is   y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m    

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

     The generally equation for the mechanical wave is

                    y(x,t) = Acos (kx -wt)

     The speed of the transverse wave is v = 8.25 \ m/s

     The amplitude of the transverse wave is A = 5.50 *10^{-2} m

     The wavelength of the transverse wave is \lambda = 0540 m

      At t= 0.150s , x = 1.51 m

 The angular frequency of the wave is mathematically represented as

          w = vk

Substituting values  

         w = 8.25 * 11.64

        w = 96.03 \ rad/s

The propagation constant k is mathematically represented as

                  k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}

Substituting values

                  k = \frac{2 * 3.142}{0. 540}

                   k =11.64 m^{-1}

Substituting values into the equation for mechanical waves

      y(1.51 , 0.150) = (5.50*10^{-2} ) cos ((11.64 * 1.151 ) - (96.03  * 0.150))

       y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

Which process produces the energy radiated by the star when it becomes a main sequence star?
inysia [295]
The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
