To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts of the kinetic equations for the description of the torque at the rate of force and distance.
By definition the torque is given by,
where,
For the problem in question the mass of the trophy is 1.64Kg and the distance of the tropeo to the board (the shoulder) is 0.655m
PART A) For part A, the torque with the given mass and the stipulated torque in the horizontal plane must be calculated as well,
For Newton's second law
PART B) For part B there is an angle of 26 degrees with respect to the horizontal, therefore to know the net torque it is necessary to know the horizontal component to the formed angle, that is,
Answer:
1. The reason why nichrome wire is used in a heater is due to the properties of nichrome which makes it a material of choice for heating application including;
i) The cost of manufacture of nichrome is low
ii) Nichrome has both high mechanical and creep strength, and therefore is suitable for installation and use in a wide setting
iii) Nichrome has a high resistance to electron flow, making it a good electrical heating element
iv) Nichrome has a high resistance to oxidation, such that it can be reused several times as a heater
v) The high ductility of nichrome allows it to be stretched and drawn around different vessels with contents to which heat is to be supplied
2. Copper wire is not used in heaters because according to Joule's law, the heat produced from the flow of electric current, 'I', through a material having a resistance, 'R', for a time, 't', is proportional to I²·R·t, and copper has a very low resistance, 'R', to the flow of electric current, and therefore, will not produce sufficient heat required at a given current level
