A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at

the other end as shown. The cable is attached at a height H=1.70 m above the pivot and the plank's CM is located a distance d=0.700 m from the pivot.
Calculate the tension in the cable.

The tension in the cable is 23.2 N

<h3>What is the tension in the string?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be resolved into horizontal and vertical forces Tcosθ and Tsinθ respectively.

Tcosθ, is acting perpendicularly, Tcosθ = 0

Taking moments about the pivot:

Tsinθ * 2.2 = 4 * 9.8 * 0.7

Solving for θ;

θ = tan⁻¹(1.4/2.2) = 32.5°

T = 27.44/(sin 32.5 * 2.2)

T = 23.2 N

In conclusion, the tension in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot.

It is strong elastic and light .it is lutrous and easy to wash. so it become very popular for making clothes
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Nylon fibres

Explanation:

Nylon fibres are synthetic polymers made of repeating units linked by amide links. It is a thermoplastic silky material which can be remoulded in any shape.

Nylon fibres have the property of strong elastic and light in weight that is why used for making ropes,  combat uniforms, and parachutes. Nylon Fibres are also lustrous and easy to wash so widely used in textile industry for making swimwear, track pants, shorts, and draperies.

Hence, the correct answer is "Nylon fibres".

Consider a skateboarder who starts from rest at the top of ramp that is inclined at an angle of 18.0 ∘ to the horizontal.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

v= u + at

v is final velocity , u is initial velocity . a is acceleration and t is time

Initial velocity u = 0 . Putting the given values in the equation

v = 0 + g sin 18 x 3.5

= 10.6 m /s

uniform electric field exists between two parallel plates separated by 2.0 cm. The intensity of the field is 15 kN/C. What is th
adoni [48]

Answer:

potential difference V= 300 volts

Explanation:

Given:

d= 2.0 cm = 0.02m

E = 15 kN/C = 15 × 10³ N/C

For a uniform field between two plates, the Electric Filed Intensity (E) is proportional to the potential difference (V) and inversely  proportional to distance between the plates.

E= V/d

⇒ V= E×d = 15 × 10³ N/C × 0.02 m = 300 volts  (∴1 Nm/C = 1 J/C= 1 volts)

The magnitude​ R, measured on the Richter​ scale, of an earthquake of intensity I is defined as Requalslog StartFraction Upper I
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

R = 6.8

Explanation:

Given data:

Richter scaleR = log(\frac{I}{I_o})

where R - magnitude of earthquake of Richter scale

I - quake's intensity =  10^{6.8} \times I_o

I_o - minimum intensity earthquake

Plugging all information in the equation to get Richter's scale

R = log(\frac{10^{6.8} \times I_o}{I_o})

R = log(10^{6.8})

R = 6.8
