A square metal block with mass (m) is suspended by five wires with the same length. One of these wires is made of iron at the ce

nter of the block and has a radius (1.2 mm) while the other four wires have the same cross-sectional area and they are made of copper at the block corners. If the tension in the iron wire equals (0.3 mg), find the radius of a copper wire. (Take Yiron = 2×1011, Ycopper =1. 2×1011 N/m2 )

Answer:

1.18 mm

Explanation:

The mass of the block is m, so the weight of the block is mg.  If the tension in the iron wire is 0.3 mg, then the total tension in the 4 copper wires is 0.7 mg.  So the tension in each copper wire is 0.175 mg.

For each wire:

ΔL/L = F / (EA)

where ΔL is the change in length,

L is the initial length,

F is the force,

E is Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity),

and A is the cross sectional area.

The five wires have the same initial length, and stretch by the same amount.

ΔL/L = ΔL/L

F / (EA) = F / (EA)

(0.3 mg) / (2×10¹¹ Pa × π(1.2 mm)²) = (0.175 mg) / (1.2×10¹¹ Pa × πr²)

0.3 / (2 (1.2 mm)²) = 0.175 / (1.2 r²)

0.36 r² = 0.504 mm²

r = 1.18 mm

In what direction does centripetal force act on an object that is traveling in a circular path?
Setler [38]

According to Newton's first law of motion, it is the natural tendency of all moving objects to continue in motion in the same direction that they are moving ... unless some form of unbalanced force acts upon the object to deviate its motion from its straight-line path.

Hope this helped, have a great day!

A car company wants to ensure its newest model can stop in less than 450 ft when traveling at 60 mph. If we assume constant dece
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Determine the COP. for this thermodynamic refrigerator
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The efficiency of a refrigerator is defined in the terms of coefficient of performance (COP).

The ratio of amount of heat in cold reservoir to the work done is termed as the COP.

COP = QL / W

COP = T2 / (T1 - T2)

Where, T1 be the temperature of hot reservoir, T2 be the temperature of cold reservoir.
