A 51.0-kg woman wearing high-heeled shoes is invited into a home in which the kitchen has vinyl floor covering. The heel on each

shoe is circular and has a radius of 0.400 cm. If the woman balances on one heel, what pressure does she exert on the floor?

Answer:

Pressure = 9.94 x 10⁶ Pascals

Explanation:

given data

mass = 51 kg

radius = 0.400 cm

solution

we know Pressure that is express as here

Pressure = total force on an area ÷ the area of the area .................1

and

Force is the woman's weight so weight will be

Weight = mass × gravity .................2

put here value

Weight = 51 × 9.8 m/s²

Weight = 499.8 Newtons

and

Area of a circle of bottom of the heel = (π) × (radius)² ...................3

put here value

Area = (π) × (0.40 cm)²

Area = 0.502654 cm²

Area = 0.0000502654 m²

and

now we put value in equation 1 we get

Pressure = force ÷ area

Pressure = 499.8 ÷ 0.0000502654

Pressure = 9943221.381 N/m²

Pressure = 9.94 x 10⁶ Pascals

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a

Solid Wire $I = 0.01237 \ A$

Stranded Wire $I_2 = 0.00978 \ A$

b

Solid Wire $R = 0.0149 \ \Omega$

Stranded Wire $R_1 = 0.0189 \ \Omega$

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

The radius of the first wire is $r_1 = 1.53 mm = 0.0015 \ m$

The radius of each strand is $r_0 = 0.306 \ mm = 0.000306 \ m$

The current density in both wires is $J = 1750 \ A/m^2$

Considering the first wire

The cross-sectional area of the first wire is

$A = \pi r^2$

= > $A = 3.142 * (0.0015)^2$

= > $A = 7.0695 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

Generally the current in the first wire is

$I = J*A$

=> $I = 1750*7.0695 *10^{-6}$

=> $I = 0.01237 \ A$

Considering the second wire wire

The cross-sectional area of the second wire is

$A_1 = 19 * \pi r^2$

=> $A_1 = 19 *3.142 * (0.000306)^2$

=> $A_1 = 5.5899 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

Generally the current is

$I_2 = J * A_1$

=> $I_2 = 1750 * 5.5899 *10^{-6}$

=> $I_2 = 0.00978 \ A$

Considering question two

From the question we are told that

Resistivity is $\rho = 1.69* 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$

The length of each wire is $l = 6.25 \ m$

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

$R = \frac{\rho * l }{A}$

=> $R = \frac{ 1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{ 7.0695 *10^{-6} }$

=> $R = 0.0149 \ \Omega$

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

$R_1 = \frac{\rho * l }{A_1}$

=> $R_1 = \frac{ 1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{5.5899 *10^{-6} }$

=> $R_1 = 0.0189 \ \Omega$

Sort the items based on whether they are simple machines or compound machines.

Tom [10]

Answer:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

Explanation:

Simple machine is the simplest device to use mechanical advantages. It has simplest mechanism to multiply the magnitude of force.

So, pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow are the example of simple machine because their mechanism is simplest.

Compound machine is a device that is made up of more than one simple machine.

so, sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane are example of compound machine because these devices shows more than one machine in it.

Thus, classification is as follows:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

A small box of mass m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L. The board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is $\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}$

Explanation:

The Newton’s second law states that the net force on an object is the product of mass of the object and final acceleration of the object. The expression of newton’s second law is,

$\sum {F = ma}$

Here, is the sum of all the forces on the object, mm is mass of the object, and aa is the acceleration of the object.

The expression for static friction over a horizontal surface is,

$F_{\rm{f}}} \leq {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg$

Here, ${\mu _{\rm{s}}}$ is the coefficient of static friction, mm is mass of the object, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the expression of static friction and solve for maximum static friction for box of mass ${m_1}$

Substitute for in the expression of maximum static friction ${F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg$

${F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g$

Use the Newton’s second law for small box and solve for minimum acceleration aa to pull the box out.

Substitute for , [/tex]{m_1}[/tex] for in the equation .

${F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a$

Substitute ${\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g$ for ${F_{\rm{f}}}$ in the equation ${F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a$

${\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g = {m_1}a$

Rearrange for a.

$a = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}g$

The minimum acceleration of the system of two masses at which box starts sliding can be calculated by equating the pseudo force on the mass with the maximum static friction force.

The pseudo force acts on in the direction opposite to the motion of the board and the static friction force on this mass acts in the direction opposite to the pseudo force. If these two forces are cancelled each other (balanced), then the box starts sliding.

Use the Newton’s second law for the system of box and the board.

Substitute for for in the equation .

${F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)a$

Substitute for in the above equation .

${F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g$

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is $\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g$

There is no friction between the board and the surface. So, the force required to accelerate the system with the minimum acceleration to slide the box over the board is equal to total mass of the board and box multiplied by the acceleration of the system.
