Answer:

The percentage of the weight supported by the front wheel is  A= 19.82 %

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The center of gravity of the plane to its nose  is  z = 2.58 m

    The distance of the front wheel of the plane to  its nose is l = 0.800\ m

     The distance of the main wheel of the plane to its nose is e =  3.02 \ m

At equilibrium  the Torque about the nose of the airplane is mathematically represented as

          mg (z- l) -  G_B *(e - l) = 0

Where m is the mass of the airplane

          G_B is the weight of the airplane supported by the main wheel  

       So  

             G_B =\frac{mg (z-l)}{(e - l)}

Substituting values

            G_B =\frac{mg (2.58 -0.8 )}{(3.02  - 0.80)}

           G_B = 0.8018 mg

Now the weight supported at the frontal wheel is mathematically evaluated as

           G_F = mg - G_B

Substituting values      

       G_F = mg - 0.8018mg    

      G_F = (1 - 0.8018) mg      

     G_F = 0.1982 mg    

Now the weight of the airplane is  =  mg

Thus percentage of this weight supported by the front wheel is  A = 0. 1982 *100 = 19.82 %

alexgriva [62]

Explanation:

d= 80km = 8000m

t = 45 min = 45/60 h

= 0.75 h

V= ?

we know that,

V = d /t

or,V= 80 km / 0.75 h

  1. or, V= 106.67 km/hr

or,V= 106.67×1000m / 3600 s

2. or, V= 29.63 m/s

How to does a circuit breaker works in steps?<br> Please help PLEASE Please
insens350 [35]

Explanation:

To understand how a differential switch works, you first need to know how an electrical circuit works. If we have a circuit where a current intensity enters, it travels through different loads that may be the electrical elements of the home, the intensity of the electric current coming out of the circuit is the same as the one I enter.

Intensity is lost if, for example, a person is electrocuted, as part of the circuit current is lost by ground. The differential switch compares through the magnetic fields produced, the current coming in and the current coming out of the circuit. Being magnetic fields produced by the same intensity but by currents with opposite direction, these are canceled. In the event that the intensities are different there is a result of magnetic field, which causes a knob that cuts the electrical circuit to move.
