A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 620 m and diameter 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to th
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) 89 m/s

(b) 11000 N

Explanation:

Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.

(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

v=\dfrac{2\times 620 \text{ m}}{14\text{ s}} = \dfrac{1240\text{ m}}{14\text{ s}}=88.571428\ldots \text{ m/s}= 89\text{ m/s}

(b) The tension, T, is given by

v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

where v is the speed, T is the tension and \mu is the mass per unit length.

Hence,

T = \mu\cdot v^{2}

To determine \mu, we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

where m is the mass and V is the volume.

m=\rho\cdot V

If the length is denoted by l, then

\mu = \dfrac{m}{l} = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l}

T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot V}{l} v^{2}

The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3

The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is

V = \pi \dfrac{d^{2}}{4} l

T = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2 l}{4l}v^2 = \dfrac{\rho\cdot\pi d^2}{4}v^2

T = \dfrac{8050\times\pi\times0.015^2}{4} \times 88.57^2

T = 11159.4186\ldots \text{ N} = 11000 \text{ N}

What is the weight of a 1-kilogram brick resting on a table?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The weight if the block is 10Newtons

Explanation:

The weight of any object is quantity of matter the object contains and it is always acting downwards on such body. This shows that the object is under the influence of gravity.

The weight of an object is calculated as mass of the object × its acceleration due to gravity

W = mg

Give the mass of the brick to be 1kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Weight of the object = 1 × 10

= 10kgm/s² or 10Newtons
