Answer: a) io=233.28 A ( initial current); b) τ=R*C= 22.31 ms; c) 81.7 ms
Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use, the formule for the variation of the current in a RC circuit:
I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ)
and also we consider that io=V/R=(1.5/6.43*10^3)
=233.28 A
then the time constant for the RC circuit is τ=R*C=6.43*10^3*3.47*10^-6
=22.31 ms
Finally the time to reduce the current to 2.57% of its initial value is obtained from:
I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ) for I(t)/io=0.0257=Exp(-t/τ) then
ln(0.0257)*τ =-t
t=-ln(0.0257)*τ=81.68 ms
Answer:
T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N
Explanation:
In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.
1. forces:
Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:
ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0
(1) T1 + T2 = 500N
2. torque around the center point of the beam:
τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0
(2) T1 - T2 = -240N
Solving both equations:
T1 = 130N
T2 = 370N
Answer:
2156 J
Explanation:
From the question,
Work done = Combined mass of the bucket and water×height×gravity.
W = (M+m)hg............................. Equation 1
Where M = mass of water, m = mass of the bucket, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: M = 20 kg, m = 2 kg, h = 10 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these value into equation 1
W = (20+2)×10×9.8
W = 22×98
W = 2156 J
Answer:
f = 931.1 Hz
Explanation:
Given,
Mass of the wire, m = 0.325 g
Length of the stretch, L = 57.7 cm = 0.577 m
Tension in the wire, T = 650 N
Frequency for the first harmonic = ?
we know,

μ is the mass per unit length
μ = 0.325 x 10⁻³/ 0.577
μ = 0.563 x 10⁻³ Kg/m
now,

v = 1074.49 m/s
The wire is fixed at both ends. Nodes occur at fixed ends.
For First harmonic when there is a node at each end and the longest possible wavelength will have condition
λ=2 L
λ=2 x 0.577 = 1.154 m
we now,
v = f λ


f = 931.1 Hz
The frequency for first harmonic is equal to f = 931.1 Hz
