Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Surface area A= 17m²

The speed at the top v" = 66m/s

Speed beneath is v' =40 m/s

The density of air p =1.29kg/m³

Weight of plane?

Assuming that,

the height difference between the top and bottom of the wind is negligible and we can ignore any change in gravitational potential energy of the fluid.

Using Bernoulli equation

P'+ ½pv'²+ pgh' = P'' + ½pv''² + pgh''

Where

P' is pressure at the bottom in N/m²

P" is pressure at the top in N/m²

v' is velocity at the bottom in m/s

v" is velocity at the top in m/s

Then, Bernoulli equation becomes

P'+ ½pv'² = P'' + ½pv''²

Rearranging

P' — P'' = ½pv"² —½pv'²

P'—P" = ½p ( v"² —v'²)

P'—P" = ½ × 1.29 × (66²-40²)

P'—P" = 1777.62 N/m²

Lift force can be found from

Pressure = force/Area

Force = ∆P ×A

Force = (P' —P")×A

Since we already have (P'—P")

Then, F=W = (P' —P")×A

W = 1777.62 × 17

W = 30,219.54 N

The weight of the plane is 30.22 KN

Answer:

Weight of plane ; W = 30219.54 N

Explanation:

For us to determine the lift force of the system, let's multiply the pressure difference with the effective wing surface area given that the area is obtained by Bernoulli equation. Thus,

P_b + (1/2)ρ(v_b)² + ρg(y_b) = P_t + (1/2)ρ(v_t)² + ρg(y_t)

Now, since the flight is level, the height is constant.

Thus, (y_b) = (y_t)

So, we now have;

P_b + (1/2)ρ(v_b)² = P_t + (1/2)ρ(v_t)²

Rearranging, we have ;

P_b - P_t = (1/2)ρ(v_t)² - (1/2)ρ(v_b)²

P_b - P_t = (1/2)ρ[(v_t)² - (v_b)²]

Now, weight is given by the formula;

W = (P_b - P_t) •A

Thus,

W = (1/2)ρ[(v_t)² - (v_b)²] •A

From the question,

Density; ρ = 1.29 kg/m³

Velocity over top of wings; v_t = 66 m/s

Velocity beneath the wings; v_b = 40 m/s

Surface Area; A = 17 m²

Thus;

W = (1/2)1.29[(66)² - (40)²] •17

W = (1/2)•1.29•17[2756]

W = 30219.54 N

A force of 100 newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the
valentina_108 [34]


work is distance * force so 15*100=1500

and to find time you know power = diastance * force / time

so 25=15*100/t

25=1500/t

25/1500=t

.016=time

three condensers are connected in series across a 150 volt supply. The voltages across them are 40,50 and 60 volts respectively,
ioda

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltages across them are 40,50 and 60 volts respectively, and the charge on each condenser is 6×10⁻⁸ C.

(a) Capacitance of capacitor 1,

C_1=\dfrac{Q}{V_1}\\\\C_1=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{40}\\\\C_1=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_1=1.5\ nF

Capacitance of capacitor 2,

C_2=\dfrac{Q}{V_2}\\\\C_2=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{50}\\\\C_2=1.2\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_2=1.2\ nF

Capacitance of capacitor 3,

C_3=\dfrac{Q}{V_3}\\\\C_3=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{60}\\\\C_3=1\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_3=1\ nF

(b) The equivalent capacitance in series combination is :

\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{C_1}+\dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}\\\\\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{1}\\\\C=0.4\ nF

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team’s members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

a)  a = - 0.106 m/s^2  (←)

b) T = 12215.1064 N

Explanation:

If

F₁ = 9*1350 N = 12150 N   (→)

F₂ = 9*1365 N = 12285 N  (←)

∑Fx = M*a = (M₁  +M₂)*a           (→)

F₁ - F₂ = (M₁  +M₂)*a        

→       a = (F₁ - F₂) / (M₁  +M₂ ) = (12150-12285)N/(9*68+9*73)Kg

→       a = - 0.106 m/s^2            (←)

(b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?

If we apply  ∑Fx = M*a   for the team 1

F₁ - T = - M₁*a  ⇒   T = F₁ + M₁*a  

⇒   T = 12150 N + (9 * 68 Kg)*(0.106 m/s^2)

⇒ T = 12215.1064 N

If we choose the team 2 we get

- F₂ + T = - M₂*a  ⇒   T = F₂ - M₂*a  

⇒   T = 12285 N - (9 * 73 Kg)*(0.106 m/s^2)

⇒ T = 12215.1064 N
