A 10 m long clothesline is strung so that it is perfectly horizontal. when a shirt is hung in the exact center the line sags to

create an angle that is 1 degree below the horizontal on each end. how far below the original height of the line is the center of the clothesline

Answer:

x = 0.0873 m

Explanation:

given,

length of clothesline = 10 m

the line sags to create an angle that is 1 degree below the horizontal on each end.

As mass is hang at the center the angle made let the deflection be 'x'

as the shirt is hang at the center distance will be equal to 5 m.

now

tan \theta = \dfrac{d_e}{d}

tan \theta = \dfrac{x}{5}

tan 1^0 = \dfrac{W}{5}

W = 5 \times 0.0175

x = 0.0873 m

Hence, the cloth line will be x = 0.0873 m from the original length of the clothesline.

Fed [463]

Answer:

The 10-meter long rod of an SR-71 airplane expands 0.02 meters (2 centimeters) when plane flies at 3 times the speed of sound.

Explanation:

From Physics we get that expansion of the rod portion is found by this formula:

\Delta l = \alpha\cdot l_{o}\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o}) (Eq. 1)

Where:

\Delta l - Expansion of the rod portion, measured in meters.

\alpha - Linear coefficient of expansion for titanium, measured in \frac{1}{^{\circ}C}.

l_{o} - Initial length of the rod portion, measured in meters.

T_{o} - Initial temperature of the rod portion, measured in Celsius.

T_{f} - Final temperature of the rod portion, measured in Celsius.

If we know that \alpha = 5\times 10^{-6}\,\frac{1}{^{\circ}C}, l_{o} = 10\,m, T_{o} = 0\,^{\circ}C and T_{f} = 400\,^{\circ}C, the expansion experimented by the rod portion is:

\Delta l = \left(5\times 10^{-6}\,\frac{1}{^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (10\,m)\cdot (400\,^{\circ}C-0\,^{\circ}C)

\Delta l = 0.02\,m

The 10-meter long rod of an SR-71 airplane expands 0.02 meters (2 centimeters) when plane flies at 3 times the speed of sound.

Explain in detail what information can be learn about atoms of different elements by examining the periodic table . For the Maxi
raketka [301]

Answer:

We know the information about atomic size, energy, electronic configuration etc. of atom from the periodic table.    

Explanation:

  • Periodic table is the arrangement of elements that are arranged according to their properties and electronic configuration.
  • In periodic table, on furthest right side of the periodic table, noble gases like He, Ne, Ar etc are arranged.
  • The atomic number of element increases while moving from left towards right in the periodic table.
  • The metallic character of element decreases as we proceed the table towards right.
  • They readily accept electron to fill the valence shell hence becoming more metallic in character.

A steel beam that is 6.50 m long weighs 336 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When beam is balanced and not rotating with Suki standing on it , let reaction force on the supports be R₁ and R₂. Then

R₁ +R₂ = 336 + 590

= 929

Now the moment beam begins to tip , reaction on distant support R₁ = 0

only R₂ will exists on the support near to Suki.

Taking torque about this support of weight of beam acting from the middle point and weight of suki of 590N ,who is x distance from the support towards the other end.

336 x 1.5 = 590 x

x = .85 m

ie , from second support , Suki can not go beyond a distance of .85 m towards the second end.

on a Powerline birds can enjoy sitting from one live wire to the other. However,if a person touches it,then the person will die
Alika [10]

Answer:

Due to potential difference (elaborated in explanation)

Explanation:

When a bird sits on a power line, its whole body is in contact with the power line. It does not have any contact with the ground or anything at a lower potential. Hence, the current does not flow through the bird's body, because there is no potential difference available as a driving force.

Now, when a person touches the power line his hand is at a higher potential provided by the power line, while the rest of his body is connected to the ground, usually through legs. The current always looks for a path from high potential to low potential. Therefore, the body of the person serves as the path for the current. Heavy current flows through the body and the person dies within split seconds.
