Two spheres A and B of negligible dimensions and masses 1 kg and √3 kg respectively, are supported on the smooth circular surfac

e, fixed to the ground with a centre O and radius of 0.1m. The spheres are joined by the cord shown in length π/20 m; determine the angles α and β corresponding to the position of equilibrium of the spheres with respect to the vertical passing through O.

Answer:

α = π/3

β = π/6

Explanation:

Use arc length equation to find the sum of the angles.

s = rθ

π/20 m = (0.1 m) (α + β)

π/2 = α + β

Draw a free body diagram for each sphere.  Both spheres have three forces acting on them:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the surface,

and tension force T pulling tangential to the surface.

Sum of forces on A in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₁g sin α = 0

T = m₁g sin α

Sum of forces on B in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₂g sin β = 0

T = m₂g sin β

Substituting:

m₁g sin α = m₂g sin β

m₁ sin α = m₂ sin β

(1 kg) sin α = (√3 kg) sin (π/2 − α)

1 sin α = √3 cos α

tan α = √3

α = π/3

β = π/6

The components of vector A are:
Korvikt [17]

here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.

So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree

Now in order to find the value we can say that

tan\theta = \frac{opposite\: side}{adjacent\: side}

tan\theta = \frac{8.6}{6.1}

\theta = tan^{-1}1.41

\theta = 54.65^0

so it is inclined at above angle with X axis in fourth quadrant

Now if angle is to be measured counterclockwise then its magnitude will be

\theta = 360 - 54.65 = 305.3^0

so the correct answer will be 305 degree

How would you obtain a mean value for the specific heat<br> capacity of a material?
lidiya [134]
The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.

The diagram shows the movement of air as a result of convection currents. At which point is the air at its highest density?
stellarik [79]

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object.  The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal.  We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.  Heat is energy on the move.  

Units of heat are units of energy.  The SI unit of energy is Joule.  Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object.  Two objects of different temperature always interact.  There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another.  They are conduction, convection, and radiation.
