A wagon wheel consists of 8 spokes of uniform diameter, each of mass ms and length L cm. The outer ring has a mass mring. What i

just olya [345]

Answer:

The moment of inertial of the wheel, $I = 8(\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2 ) + M_rL^2$

Explanation:

Given;

8 spokes of uniform diameter

mass of each spoke, = $M_s$

length of each spoke, = L

mass of outer ring, = $M_r$

The moment of inertial of the wheel will be calculated as;

$I = 8I_{spoke} + I_{ring}$

where;

$I_{spoke$ is the moment of inertia of each spoke

$I_{ring$ is the moment of inertia of the rim

Moment of inertia of each spoke $=\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2$

Moment of inertial of the wheel

$I = 8(\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2 ) + M_rL^2$

You want the current amplitude through a inductor with an inductance of 4.70 mH (part of the circuitry for a radio receiver) to

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

f = 1.69*10^5 Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the frequency of the sinusoidal voltage, you use the following formula:

$V_L=\omega iL=2\pi f i L$ (1)

V_L: voltage = 12.0V

i: current = 2.40mA = 2.40*10^-3 A

L: inductance = 4.70mH = 4.70*10^-3 H

f: frequency = ?

you solve the equation (1) for f and replace the values of the other parameters:

$f=\frac{V_L}{2\pi iL}=\frac{12.0V}{2\pi (2.4*10^{-3}A)(4.70*10^{-3}H)}=1.69*10^5Hz$

The frequency of the sinusoidal voltage is f

A grain silo is shown below:grain silo formed by cylinder with radius 5 feet and height 175 feet and a half sphere on the topwha

nekit [7.7K]

Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3
