A ball A is thrown vertically upward from the top of a 30-m-high building with an initial velocity of 5 m>s. At the same inst

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

s= 20.4 m

Explanation:

First lets write down equations for each ball:

s=so+vo*t+1/2a_c*t^2

for ball A:

s_a=30+5*t+1/2*9.81*t^2

for ball B:

s_b=20*t-1/2*9.81*t^2

to find time deeded to pass we just put that

s_a = s_b

30+5*t-4.91*t^2=20*t-4.9*t^2

t=2 s

now we just have to put that time in any of those equations an get distance from the ground:

s = 30 + 5*2 -1/2*9.81 *2^2

s= 20.4 m

A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to blocks A and B, which move freely in the guides shown. The blocks are connected by

gregori [183]

Answer:

(a) T = W/2(1-tanθ) (b) 39.81°

Explanation:

(a) The equation for tension (T) can be derived by considering the summation of moment in the clockwise direction. Thus:

Summation of moment in clockwise direction is equivalent to zero. Therefore,

T*l*(sinθ) + W*(l/2)*cosθ - T*l*cosθ = 0

T*l*(cosθ - sinθ) = W*(l/2)*cosθ

T = W*cosθ/2(cosθ - sinθ)

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by cosθ, we have:

T = [W*cosθ/cosθ]/2[(cosθ - sinθ)/cosθ] = W/2(1-tanθ)

(b) If T = 3W, then:

3W = W/2(1-tanθ),

Further simplification and rearrangement lead to:

1 - tanθ = 1/6

tanθ = 1 - (1/6) = 5/6

θ = tan^(-1) 5/6 = 39.81°

A rectangular block of material with shear modulus G= 620 MPa is fixed to rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. Thelower

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

γ $_{xy}$ =0.01, P=248 kN

Explanation:

Given Data:

displacement = 2mm ;

height = 200mm ;

l = 400mm ;

w = 100 ;

G = 620 MPa = 620 N//mm²; 1MPa = 1N//mm²

a. Average Shear Strain:

The average shear strain can be determined by dividing the total displacement of plate by height

γ $_{xy}$ = displacement / total height

= 2/200 = 0.01

b. Force P on upper plate:

Now, as we know that force per unit area equals to stress

τ = P/A

Also, τ = Gγ $_{xy}$

By comapring both equations, we get

P/A = Gγ $_{xy}$ ------------ eq(1)

First we need to calculate total area,

A = l*w = 400 * 100= 4*10^4mm²

By putting the values in equation 1, we get

P/40000 = 620 * 0.01

P = 248000 N or 2.48 *10^5 N or 248 kN

Answer: c) they have low genetic variability among them.

When a plant is grown for several generations of offspring of a plant, then there are some common things which are to be noted which are found similar in the offspring and in the parent of the offspring. The flowers and fruits and the time or season they come in are absolutely the same.
