A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The

center of gravity of the refrigerator is 67.0 cm above the midpoint of the base.
What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator doesn't tip over? (The static friction between the truck and the refrigerator is very large.)

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a<br> distance2.5m from a 100-W light bulb?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the intensity included as the power transferred per unit area, where the area is the perpendicular plane in the direction of energy propagation.

Since the propagation occurs in an area of spherical figure we will have to

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Replacing with the given power of the Bulb of 100W and the radius of 2.5m we have that

$I = \frac{100}{4\pi (2.5)^2}$

$I = 1.2738W/m^2$

The relation between intensity I and $E_{max}$

$I = \frac{E_max^2}{2\mu_0 c}$

Here,

$\mu_0$ = Permeability constant

c = Speed of light

Rearranging for the Maximum Energy and substituting we have then,

$E_{max}^2 = 2I\mu_0 c$

$E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu_0 c }$

$E_{max} = 2(1.2738)(4\pi*10^{-7})(3*10^8)$

$E_{max} = 30.982 V/m$

Finally the maximum magnetic field is given as the change in the Energy per light speed, that is,

$B_{max} = \frac{E_{max}}{c}$

$B_{max} = \frac{30.982 V /m}{3*10^8}$

$B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T$

Therefore the maximum value of the magnetic field is $B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T$

aleksley [76]

Answer:

0.023 Ohms

Explanation:

Given data

Length= 2.8m

radius= 1.03mm

current I= 1.35 A

voltage V= 0.032V

We know that from Ohm's law

V= IR

Now R= V/I

Substitute

R= 0.032/1.35

R= 0.023 Ohms

Hence the resistance is 0.023 Ohms
