Why is an abseiling rope tested beyond twice the maximum possible weight when in use

Physics
1 answer:
Elza [17]4 years ago
7 0

ANSWER:

Abseiling rope is tested beyond twice the maximum possible weight when in use because of safety purposes.

EXPLANATION:

Every rope has its elastic limit.Abseiling rope is used basically for climbing or descending purposes so this type of rope must be of quite good quality and  it must bear maximum possible weight. We test it  just to check the elastic limit of the rope so that the rope shouldnot increase its elastic limit and it doesnot break when we use it.

Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Distance travelled = 12 km.

2. Displacement = 8.6 km

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km

Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km

Total distance =?

Displacement =?

1. Determination of the distance travelled.

Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km

Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km

Total distance (dₜ) =?

dₜ = d₁ + d₂

dₜ = 7 + 5

dₜ = 12 km

2. Determination of the displacement.

In the attached photo, R is the displacement.

We can obtain the value of R by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

R² = 7² + 5²

R² = 49 + 25

R² = 74

Take the square root of both side

R = √74

R = 8.6 km

A 1,000 kg car is travelling at 6.5 m/s to the North. A 3,500 kg truck is travelling South at the same velocity. What is the tot
Molodets [167]

Answer:

16250 kgm/s due south

Explanation:

Applying,

M = mv................. Equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.

From the car,

Given: m = 1000 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M = 1000(6.5)

M = 6500 kgm/s

For the truck,

Given: m = 3500 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M' = 3500(6.5)

M' = 22750 kgm/s.

Assuming South to be negative direction,

From the question,

Total momentum of the two vehicles = (6500-22750)

Total momentum of the two vehicles = -16250 kgm/s

Hence the total momentum of the two vehicles is 16250 kgm/s due south

Answer:

 i = 0.477 10⁴ B

the current flows in the  counterclockwise

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the Ampere law

                    ∫ B . ds = μ₀ I

Where the path is closed

Let's start by locating the current vines that are parallel to the z-axis, so it must be exterminated along the x-axis and as the specific direction is not indicated, suppose it extends along the y-axis.

From BiotSavart's law, the field must be perpendicular to the direction of the current, so the magnetic field must go in the x direction.

We apply the law of Ampere the segment parallel to the x-axis is the one that contributes to the integral, since the other two have an angle of 90º with the magnetic field

Segment on the y axis

        L₀ = (y2-y1)

        L₀ = 3-0 = 3 cm

Segment on the point x = 2 cm

        L₁ = 3-0

        L₁ = 3cm

       B L = μ₀ I

       B 2L = μ₀ I

        i = 2 L B /μ₀

        i= 2 0.03 / 4π 10⁻⁷   B

        i = 4.77 10⁴  B

The current is perpendicular to the magnetic field whereby the current flows in the  counterclockwise
