A 15-ft beam weighing 570 lb is lowered by means of two cables unwinding from overhead cranes. As the beam approaches the ground

, the crane operators apply brakes to slow the unwinding motion. Knowing that the deceleration of cable A is 20 ft/s2 and the deceleration of cable B is 2 ft/s2, determine the tension in each cable.

Answer:

I. Tension (cable A) ≈ 6939 lbf

II. Tension (cable B) ≈ 17199 lbf

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the data that we were given:

mass of beam (m) = 570 lb, deceleration (cable A) = -20 ft/s², deceleration (cable B) = -2 ft/s²,

g = 32.17405 ft/s²

The tension on an object is given by the product of mass of the object by gravitational force plus/minus the product of mass by acceleration.

Mathematically represented thus:

T = mg + ma

where:

T = tension, m = mass, g = gravitational force,

a = acceleration

I. For Cable A, we have:

T = mg + ma = (570 * 32.17405) + [570 * (-20)]

T = 18339.2085 - 11400 = 6939.2085

T ≈ 6939 lbf

II. For Cable B, we have:

T = mg + ma = (570 * 32.17405) + [570 * (-2)]

T = 18339.2085 - 1140 = 17199.2085

T ≈ 17199 lbf

The lattice constant of a simple cubic lattice is a0.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

A)The sketches for the required planes were drawn in the first attachment.

B)The sketches for the required directions were drawn in the second attachment.

To draw a plane in a simple cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- the cube has 3 main directions called "a", "b" and "c" (as shown in the first attachment)

2- The coordinates of that plane are written as: π:(1/a₀ 1/b₀ 1/c₀) (if one of the coordinates is 0, for example (1 1 0), c₀ is ∞, therefore that plane never cross the direction c).

3- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ at the plane that crosses this main directions and point them in the cubic cell.

4- Join the points.

To draw a direction in a simple cubic lattice, you have to follow these instructions:

1- Identify the points a₀, b₀, and c₀ in the cubic cell.

2- Draw the direction as a vector-like (a₀ b₀ c₀).

What other ways could a wildfire be contained, extinguished, or slowed down?
galben [10]
Back burning, starting fires infront of the main fire to prevent the fire from spreading and depleting fuel for the fire, digging trenches so the fire has no where to go, dropping water from planes or helicopters.

What’s a pigtail when wiring
Levart [38]

Answer:

A pigtail when wiring is technique that is used in connecting a lot of wires together.

Explanation:

A pigtail is a wire that is short in length. It has two ends. One end has a connector while the other end has other wires connected to it.

Pigtail when wiring is the connection of more than one wire in a circuit to another device. Pigtail when wiring helps to extend the length of the wire in a circuit if the wire used it short).

Pigtail when wiring is a technique what helps to keep the circuit organised because it prevents the wires from getting tangled.
