The safe load, L, of a wooden beam supported at both ends varies jointly as the width, w, the square of the depth, d, and invers

ely as the length, l. A wooden beam 3in. wide, 6in. deep, and 11ft long holds up 1213lb. What load would a beam 6in. wide, 3in. deep and 12ft long of the same material support? (Round off your answer to the nearest pound.)

Answer:

L' = 555.95 lb

Explanation:

Analyzing the given conditions in the question, we get

The safe load, L is directly proportional to width (w) and square of depth (d²)

 also,

L is inversely proportional length (l) i.e L = k/l

combining the above conditions, we get an equation as:

 L = k(wd²/l)

 now, for the first case we have been given

w = 3 in

d = 6 in

l = 11 ft

L = 1213 lbs

 thus,

1213 lb = k ((3 × 6²)/11)

or

k = 123.54 lbs/(ft.in³)  

Now,

Using the calculated value of k to calculate the value of L in the second case  

in the second case, we have

w = 6 in

d =3 in

l = 12 ft

Final Safe load L' =  123.54 × (6 × 3²/12)

or

L' = 555.95 lb

Evaporating water produces gaseous water. What has occurred during this process?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Heat has accelerated water atoms enough to break the surface tension which leads the liquid to turn into a gas

Explanation:

The state of a substance depends on the distribution of its atoms, therefore any atmosphere change (in this case heat) enough to change the atoms Distribution results in a change of state.

What help in reversing direction of current of current​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

<em>To reverse the direction of an electric current, we simply reverse the voltage either automatically with the help of some switching circuitry or manually by changing the voltage source terminals connection.  </em>

Explanation:

For electric current to flow, there must be a potential difference, usually referred to as the voltage. The electric current flow is analogous to the flow of water under the action of a pump, through a series of pipe connections. The voltage is similar to the driving action of the pump, and current flows the same way water flows. The resistance due to drag on the pipe wall is equivalent to electric resistance. For current to flow in the reverse direction, the voltage or rather, the potential difference is changed, causing the current to flow in the opposite direction. This can be done by switching the terminals of the voltage source, or by automatic means. The automatic switching can be done with a transistor based circuitry.

When waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes what form of interference is that
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Constructive Interference

Explanation:

Constructive Interference occurs when two waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes.

In constructive interference, the crests of one wave fall on the crests of second wave and the amplitudes add up. The amplitude of the resultant wave is equal to sum of the amplitude of the individual waves. Similarly, the trough of first wave falls on the trough of other wave and they superimpose to create the trough of the resultant wave.

For Example, In the attachment, two waves A and B superimpose and demonstrate Constructive interference to create the wave C.

If you lift the front wheel of a poorly maintained bicycle off the ground and then start it spinning at 0.69 rev/s , friction in
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

magnitude of the frictional torque is 0.11 Nm

Explanation:

Moment of inertia I = 0.33 kg⋅m2

Initial angular velocity w° = 0.69 rev/s = 2 x 3.142 x 0.69 = 4.34 rad/s

Final angular velocity w = 0 (since it stops)

Time t = 13 secs

Using w = w° + §t

Where § is angular acceleration

O = 4.34 + 13§

§ = -4.34/13 = -0.33 rad/s2

The negative sign implies it's a negative acceleration.

Frictional torque that brought it to rest must be equal to the original torque.

Torqu = I x §

T = 0.33 x 0.33 = 0.11 Nm
