The atmospheric pressure on the top of the Engineering Sciences Building (ESB) is 97.6 kPa, while that in Room G39-ESB (ground f

loor) is 98.2 kPa.
Determine the height of the building if the air density is assumed to be independent of the height, being 1.16 kg/m³, while the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 N/kg.

Answer:

Δ h = 52.78 m

Explanation:

given,

Atmospheric pressure at the top of building = 97.6 kPa

Atmospheric pressure at the bottom of building = 98.2 kPa

Density of air = 1.16 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

height of the building = ?

We know,

Δ P = ρ g Δ h

(98.2-97.6) x 10³ = 1.16 x 9.8 x Δ h

11.368 Δ h = 600

Δ h = 52.78 m

Hence, the height of the building is equal to 52.78 m.

Forces of 2 newtons and 3 newtons are acting on an object as shown in the drawing below. Calculate the resultant force in newton
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Hey mate

Your answer will be <u>5 N</u><u> </u><u>Upwards</u><u>.</u><u> </u>

I will explain this to you.

In the attachment we can see that there are two forces acting on the object from the same side. And we know that when force acts from the same direction. Then the total force

=> sum of all the forces in that particular direction.

I hope you got it :)

A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 4.4 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) a =0.53 m/s²

b) μ=0.054

c) μ = 0.068

Explanation:

a) If we assume that the turntable is rotating at a constant speed, the only force acting on the seed parallel to the surface, which keeps it  from following a straight line trajectory, is the centripetal force.

So, we can apply Newton's 2nd Law to the seed in this way:

Fnet = m*a = m*ac = m*ω²*r

We have the value of the angular speed, ω, in rev/min, so it is advisable to convert it to rad/sec, as follows:

ω = 33 rev/min*(1 min/60 sec)*(2*π rad/ 1 rev) = 11/10*π rad/sec

So, replacing in (1), we can solve for ac, as follows:

ac = ω²*r = (11/10)²*π²*0.044 m = 0.53 m/s²

b) Now, the centripetal force that we found above, is not a new type of force, it must be a force that explains the behavior of the seed.

As the seed does not slip, the only force acting  on it parallel to the surface, is the static  friction force, which has a maximum value, as follows:

Ff = μ*N

As there is no movement in the vertical direction, this means that the normal force must be equal and opposite to Fg, so we can write the expression for Ff as follows:

Ff = μ*m*g

Now, this force is no other than centripetal force, so we can write this equation:

Ff  = Fc ⇒ μ*m*g = m*ac

⇒ μ*g = ac

Solving for μ:

μ = ac/g = 0.53 m/s² / 9.8 m/s² = 0.054

c) During the acceleration period, added to the centripetal acceleration, as the angular speed is not constant, we will have also an angular acceleration, γ , which we can get as follows:

γ = Δω/Δt = (11/10)*π / 0.37 s = 9.34 rad/sec²

By definition of angular acceleration, there exists a fixed  relationship between the angular acceleration and the tangential acceleration (same as the one between angular and tangential speed), as follows:

at = γ*r = 9.34 rad/sec²*0.044 m = 0.41 m/s

When the turntable has reached to its maximum angular velocity, it will have also the maximum value of the centripetal acceleration, which we have just found out.

So, the magnitude of the total acceleration (at the moment of maximum acceleration) as they are perpendicular each  other) , is given by the following expression:

a = √(ac)²+(at)² = 0.67 m/s²

Now, as friction force opposes to the relative movement between surfaces (the seed and the turntable), it shall be larger than the product of the mass times the total acceleration, acting along  the same action line, so we can say:

Ffmin = μ*m*g = m*a

⇒ μmin = a/g = 0.67 m/s²/9.8 m/s² = 0.068

The two equal strong kids are having a tug a war. What do you expect to happen to the ball in this situation
borishaifa [10]

Answer:as per as Newtons second law, The forces exerted on the rope create tension.

As such,The tension is equal to the applied force.The tension is trasmitted to the opposite side and of the rope delivering the applied force.

Hope this helps.. :)

A rock has a mass of 25kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s and the height of the rock is 42 m. Find the potential energ
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Explanation:

 Mass of rock = 25 kg

 Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

 Height = 42 m

 Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

 PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN
