A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires. Two of the wires make angles of theta1=60.0 degrees and th

eta2=40.0 degrees with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions of T1, T2, and T3.

The sketch of the system is: two strings, 1 and 2, are attached to the ceiling and to a third string, 3.The third string holds the bag of cement. 

The free body diagram of the weight with the string 3, drives to the tension T3 = weihgt => T3 = 325 N

The other free body diagram is around the joint of the three strings.

In this case, you can do the horizontal forces equilibrium equation as:

T1* cos(60) - T2*cos(40) = 0

And the vertical forces equilibrium equation:

Ti sin(60) + T2 sin(40) = T3 = 325 N

Then you have two equations with two unknown variables, T1 and T2

0.5 T1 - 0.766 T2 = 0

 0.866 T1 + 0.643T2 = 325

When you solve it you get, T1 = 252.8 N and T2 = 165 N

Answer: T1 = 252.8 N, T2 = 165N, and T3 = 325N

What method of separation would work best on a homogeneous mixture salt water?
Lera25 [3.4K]
The appropriate answer is c. evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes to a gas and in this case is the best way to remove the water from the homogenous mixture. The reaction can be sped up by heating the mixture. All the water will eventually evaporate leaving behind the sodium chloride crystals as a precipitate.
Filtration works best on mixtures that have precipitates and distillation is for separating liquids with different boiling points.

the resistivity of gold is 2.44×10−8Ω⋅m at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries a cur
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.03605 V/m is the electric field in the gold wire.

Explanation:

Resistivity of the gold = \rho = 2.44\times 10^{-8} \Omega.m

Length of the gold wire = L = 14 cm = 0.14 m ( 1 cm = 0.01 m)

Diameter of the wire = d = 0.9 mm

Radius of the wire = r = 0.5 d = 0.5 × 0.9 mm = 0.45 mm = 0.45\times 0.001 m

( 1mm = 0.001 m)

Area of the cross-section = A=\pi r^2=\pi r^(0.45\times 0.001 m)^2

Resistance of the wire = R

Current in the gold wire = 940 mA = 0.940 A ( 1 mA = 0.001 A)

R=\rho\times \frac{L}{A}

V(voltage)=I(current)\times R(Resistance) ( Ohm's law)

\frac{V}{I}=\rho\times \frac{L}{A}

We know, Electric field is given by :

E=\frac{dV}{dr}

E=\frac{V}{L}

E=\frac{V}{L}=\rho\times \frac{I}{A}

E=2.44\times 10^{-8} \Omega.m\times \frac{0.940 A}{\pi r^(0.45\times 0.001 m)^2}=0.03605 V/m

0.03605 V/m is the electric field in the gold wire.

Please help me give a summary for trees lessons as I (cody) have a quiz Tommorow
zysi [14]

Answer:

Conduction is heat transfer through stationary matter by physical contact. (The matter is stationary on a macroscopic scale—we know that thermal motion of the atoms and molecules occurs at any temperature above absolute zero.) Heat transferred from the burner of a stove through the bottom of a pan to food in the pan is transferred by conduction.

Convection is the heat transfer by the macroscopic movement of a fluid. This type of transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and in weather systems, for example.

Heat transfer by radiation occurs when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, or another form of electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An obvious example is the warming of Earth by the Sun. A less obvious example is thermal radiation from the human body.     I hope this helps you
