Answer : Weight of the truck = 9408 N

Explanation :

Given that,

Length = 6.0 m

Width = 4.0 m

Depth = 4.00 cm

we know that,

weight of the truck = weight of the displaced water

weight of the truck = $m_{water}\times g$

we know that,

density $\rho = \dfrac{mass}{volume}$

mass = density X volume

weight of the truck = $\rho_{w}\times V_{w}\times g$

Now, the volume = length X width X depth

$V = 6.0\ m\times 4.0\ m \times 0.04\ m$

$V = 0.96\ m^{3}$

Weight of the truck $= 1000\ kg/m^{3}\times 0.96\ m^{3}\times 9.8\ m/s^{2}$

Weight of the truck = $= 9408\ kg- m/s^{2}$

Weight of the truck = 9408 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

A common method to measure thermal conductivity of a biomaterial is to insert a long metallic probe axially into the center of a

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that thermal conduction is uniform and one-dimensional, the conduction heat transfer ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in watts, in the hollow cylinder is:

$\dot Q = \frac{2\cdot k\cdot L}{\ln \left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)}\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})$

Where:

$k$ - Thermal conductivity, measured in watts per meter-Celsius.

$L$ - Length of the cylinder, measured in meters.

$D_{i}$ - Inner diameter, measured in meters.

$D_{o}$ - Outer diameter, measured in meters.

$T_{i}$ - Temperature at inner surface, measured in Celsius.

$T_{o}$ - Temperature at outer surface, measured in Celsius.

Now we clear the thermal conductivity in the equation:

$k = \frac{\dot Q}{2\cdot L\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})}\cdot \ln\left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)$

If we know that $\dot Q = 40.8\,W$ , $L = 0.6\,m$ , $T_{i} = 50\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C$ , $D_{i} = 0.01\,m$ and $D_{o} = 0.04\,m$ , the thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is:

$k = \left[\frac{40.8\,W}{2\cdot (0.6\,m)\cdot (50\,^{\circ}C-20\,^{\circ}C)}\right]\cdot \ln \left(\frac{0.04\,m}{0.01\,m} \right)$

$k \approx 1.571\,\frac{W}{m\cdot ^{\circ}C}$

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

At what point in its motion is the KE of a pendulum bob a maximum? 1. The KE does not change. 2. at the lowest point 3. at the h

Andrew [12]

Answer:

2. at the lowest point

Explanation:

The motion of the pendulum is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE). This is because the mechanical energy of the pendulum, which is sum of KE and GPE, is constant:

E = KE + GPE = const.

Therefore, when KE is maximum, GPE is minimum, and viceversa.

So, the point of the motion where the KE is maximum is where the GPE is minimum: and since the GPE is directly proportional to the heigth of the bob:

$GPE=mgh$

we see that GPE is minimum when the bob is at the lowest point,so the correct answer is

2. at the lowest point
