How do contact forces such as friction differ from gravitational and magnetic forces?

1 answer:

Sloan [31]2 years ago

"Contact" means "touching". A contact force can't act on an object unless
they're touching. Friction is a contact force.

Gravitational forces pull masses together even if they're not touching.
Magnetic forces pull a piece of iron toward a magnet even if they're not touching.

Gravitational and magnetic forces are "non-contact" forces.

The index of refraction for a certain type of glass is 1.641 for blue light and 1.603 for red light. When a beam of white light

exis [7]

Answer:

The angle between the emergent blue and red light is $0.566^{o}$

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

$n_{1}sin(\theta _{i})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{r})$

Since medium from which light enter's is air thus $n_{1}=1$

Thus for blue incident light we have

$1\times sin(40.05)=1.641\times sin(\theta _{rb})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rb}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.64})\\\\\theta _{rb}=23.10$

Similarly using the same procedure for red light we have

$1\times sin(40.05)=1.603\times sin(\theta _{rr})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rr}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.603})\\\\\theta _{rr}=23.66^{o}$

Thus the absolute value of angle between the refracted blue and red light is

$|23.66-23.10|=0.566^{o}$

A right-circular cylindrical tank of height 8 ft and radius 4 ft is laying horizontally and is full of fuel weighing 52 lb/ft3

tresset_1 [31]

Given:

Height of tank = 8 ft

and we need to pump fuel weighing 52 lb/ $ft^{3}$ to a height of 13 ft above the tank top

Solution:

Total height = 8+13 =21 ft

pumping dist = 21 - y

Area of cross-section = $\pi r^{2}$ = $\pi 4^{2}$ =16 $\pi$ $ft^{2}$

Now,

Work done required = $\int_{0}^{8} 52\times 16\pi (21 - y)dy$

= $832\pi \int_{0}^{8} (21 - y)dy$

= 832 $\pi($ $[ 21y ]_{0}^{8} - [\frac{y^{2}}{2}]_{0}^{8}\\$ )

= 113152 $\pi$ = 355477 ft-lb

Therefore work required to pump the fuel is 355477 ft-lb
