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.

You are designing a generator with a maximum emf 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030
shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.1 Hz

Explanation:

In a generator, the maximum induced emf is given by

\epsilon= 2\pi NAB f

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

A is the area of the coil

B is the magnetic field strength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

N = 200

A=0.030 m^2

\epsilon=8.0 V

B = 0.030 T

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the frequency of the generator:

f=\frac{\epsilon}{2\pi NAB}=\frac{8.0 V}{2\pi (200)(0.030 m^2)(0.030 T)}=7.1 Hz

Part B
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

A jet plane is launched from a catapult on an aircraft carrier. In 2.0 s it reaches a speed of 42 m/s at the end of the catapult
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time taken t=2\ s

Speed acquired in 2 sec v=42\ m/s

Here initial velocity is zero u=0

acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in a given time

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{42-0}{2}=21\ m/s^2

Distance travel in this time

s=ut+0.5at^2

where  

s=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

s=0+\0.5\times 21\times (2)^2

s=42\ m

so Jet Plane travels a distance of 42 m in 2 s
