Under what conditions would a rope remain in equilibrium during a tug of war

Physics

<h3>Answer;</h3>

B)  When the net force acting on the rope is zero.  

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>Equilibrium refers to a state of balance where there is no net force. The forces acting at point in equilibrium are opposite and equal.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Therefore, for a body at equilibrium the vector sum of all the forces acting on that body must be zero and also the vector sum of torques on the body must be zero</em></u>.
  • <em><u>In a tug of war for example, the equilibrium will be achieved if the two teams involved on either side apply equal forces in opposite direction, such that there will be no net force on the rope, that is the net force on the rope is zero.</u></em>

When the teams on each end of the rope exert exactly the
same force ... in opposite directions ... the net force on the
rope is zero, and it doesn't accelerate in either direction.

What are the factor that affect the efficiency of a pulley​
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Tension in the chains - In a chain drive, technically, you have a closed-chain (which has no end) going around 2 pulley or gears; looking closely you have 2 parallel chains going in opposite direction. If kept in horizontal direction, the one below the other is the slack side and the other the tight side. The tension on the upper or tight side is more than the slack side. So you need to keep in mind to keep your chain drive tight so that there is no loss or rotation or lags.

Sizes of the pulley/gear - The chain will be warped around a pair of pulley or gear. The sizes of these pulley/gear will also determine the efficiency of the chain drive (consider one big and one small)

Number of pulley/gear - If the number of pulley/gear is more and chain wrapped on it with little complexity will result in decrease in efficiency because of extra tension.

Length of the chain drive - You cannot have much too long chain drive. It will make your slack side more heavy because the end are further away. You have to apply more power and possibilities of lag increases decreasing efficiency. In an ideal situation, this won't happen, but this world isn't ideal.

Friction between chains & pulley/gear - If you have studied gears (involving its teeth), you will come to know that there is friction offered on the two meeting surfaces.

Angle of contact - This would have been explained better with a diagram. Although, if you are familiar with the terms you won't have difficulty understanding. Angle of contact is the angle the chain forms with the pulley/gear at the point of contact with the center of the pulley. The angle of contact should not be too small, or else the things will be slippery.

With a bit of algebraic reasoning find your gravitational acceleration toward any planet of mass M a distance d from its center.
grandymaker [24]

The acceleration due to gravity is given as:

                             g = GM/r²

<h3>Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to Newton's law of gravity,

F<em>g </em>= GMm/(r + h)²

F<em>g = </em>gravitational force

From Newton's second law of motion,

F<em>g </em>= ma

a = F<em>g</em>/m

We can refer to "a" as "g"

a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²

g = GM/(r + h)²

When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,

g = GM/r²

A force of 100N is applied to move an object a horizontal distance of 20m to the right. The work done by this force on the objec
horsena [70]
WORKDONE = FORCE * DISPLACEMENT
W=F*S
HERE, THE FORCE = 100N AND DISTANCE = 20M
WORKDONE = 100*20
WORKDONE=2000
ITS S.I UNIT IS JOULE OR J
SO, 2000J

Use V=Voe^-t/RC and T=RC to derive T1/2=Tln2
Ksju [112]
Enclosed is some guidance algebra.I find this q a little confusing. It quotes "RC" which usually makes me think of electrical circuits and time constants based on converting calculating RC value and equating that to t for one time constant then 2RC for two time constants etc. The theory being that after 5 time constants - 5RC - a circuit is stable. BUT, this q then goes on to mention HALF LIFE. The curves for both half life and time constant are both exponential, as in the number e to the power of something, but the algebra is slightly different. I hope my algebra is ok.
