Answer:

d = 2.69 mm

Explanation:

Assuming the cable is rated with a factor of safety of 1.

The stress on the cable is:

σ = P/A

Where

σ = normal stress

P: load

A: cross section

The section area of a circle is:

A = π/4 * d^2

Then:

σ = 4*P / (π*d^2)

Rearranging:

d^2 = 4*P / (π*σ)

d = \sqrt{4*P / (\pi*\sigma)}

Replacing:

d = \sqrt{4*800 / (\pi*\90000)} = 0.106 inches

0.106 inches = 2.69 mm

Tahir travel twice as far as ahmed, but onley one third as fast. Ahmed starts travel on tuesday at noon at point x to point z 30
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

6:00 pm the next day

Explanation:

Given that

Tahir traveled twice as far as Ahmed. We say,

Ahmed traveled a distance, D

Tahir would travel a distan, 2D

Tahir traveled 1/3 as fast as Ahmed, so we say

Ahmed traveled at a speed, S

Tahir would travel at a speed, S/3

If Ahmed starts travel on tuesday at noon at point x to point z 300km, by 9:00pm,

Time taken by Ahmed to travel is

9:00 pm - 12:00 pm = 9 hours

Ahmed, traveled 300 km in 9 hours, meaning he traveled at 33.3 km in an hour.

Speed, S that Ahmed traveled with is 33.3 km/h

Remember, we stated that Tahir travels at a speed of S/3, that is, The speed of Tahir is

33.3/3 = 11.1 km/h.

300 km would then be traveled in 300 km/11.1 km/h = 27 hours.

Tahir started traveling, 3 hours after Ahmed, that is 12:00 pm + 3:00 hrs = 3:00 pm, and if he's to spend 27 hours on the journey he would reach destination z at 6:00 pm the next day
