The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.
Answer:
200 N
Explanation:
Since Young's modulus for the metal, E = σ/ε where σ = stress = F/A where F = force on metal and A = cross-sectional area, and ε = strain = e/L where e = extension of metal = change in length and L = length of metal wire.
So, E = σ/ε = FL/eA
Now, since at break extension = e.
So making e subject of the formula, we have
e = FL/EA = FL/Eπr² where r = radius of metal wire
Now, when the radius and length are doubled, we have our extension as e' = F'L'/Eπr'² where F' = new force on metal wire, L' = new length = 2L and r' = new radius = 2r
So, e' = F'(2L)/Eπ(2r)²
e' = 2F'L/4Eπr²
e' = F'L/2Eπr²
Since at breakage, both extensions are the same, e = e'
So, FL/Eπr² = F'L/2Eπr²
F = F'/2
F' = 2F
Since F = 100 N,
F' = 2 × 100 N = 200 N
So, If the radius and length of the wire were both doubled then it would break when the tension reached 200 Newtons.
Answer: Explanation:
If the net force on an object is doubled, its acceleration will double If the mass of an object is doubled, the acceleration will be halved .
