What is the magnitude and direction (right or left) of the
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 12 N to the right

Explanation:

If we calculate the net force acting on the box, we will have:

<u>In y-component:</u>

Fy_{net}=F_{n}+F_{g} (1)

Where F_{n}=12 N is the Normal force, directed upwards and F_{g}=-12 N is the weight of the box (gravity force), directed downwards.

Fy_{net}=12 N-12 N (2)

Fy_{net}=0 N (3) Hence the net force in the vertical component is zero

<u>In x-component:</u>

Fx_{net}=F_{left}+F_{right} (4)

Where F_{left}=-3 N and F_{right}= 15 N

Fx_{net}=-3 N + 15 N (5)

Fx_{net}=12 N (6) This is the net force in the horizontal component

Therefore, the total net force acting on the box is 12 N directed to the right

As a moon follows its orbit around a planet, the maximum grav- itational force exerted on the moon by the planet exceeds the min
Mars2501 [29]
The gravitational force exerted on the moon by the planet when the moon is at maximum distance r_{max} is
F_{min}=G \frac{Mm}{r_{max}^2}
where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the planet and moon masses, respectively. This is the minimum force, because the planet and the moon are at maximum distance.

Similary, the gravitational force at minimum distance is
F_{max}=G \frac{Mm}{r_{min}^2}
And this is the maximum force, since the distance between planet and moon is minimum.

The problem says that F_{max} exceeds F_{min} by 11%. We can rewrite this as
F_{max}=(1+0.11)F_{min}=1.11 F_{min}

Substituing the formulas of Fmin and Fmax, this equation translates into
\frac{1}{r_{min}^2}=1.11  \frac{1}{r_{max}^2}
and so, the ratio between the maximum and the minimum distance is
\frac{r_{max}}{r_{min}}= \sqrt{ 1.11 }=1.05

An infinite conducting cylindrical shell of outer radius r1 = 0.10 m and inner radius r2 = 0.08 m initially carries a surface ch
irinina [24]

Answer:

a) \sigma_{\rm in} = -2.18~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

b) \sigma_{\rm out}= 1.12~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

c) E = \frac{\sigma(r_1 + r_2)}{\epsilon_0 r}

Explanation:

Before the wire is inserted, the total charge on the inner and outer surface of the cylindrical shell is as follows:

Q_{\rm in} = \sigma A_{\rm in} = \sigma(2\pi r_1 h) = (-0.35)(2\pi (0.08) h) = -0.175h~{\rm \mu C}

Q_{\rm out} = \sigma A_{\rm out} = \sigma(2\pi r_2 h) = (-0.35)(2\pi (0.1) h) = -0.22h~{\rm \mu C}

Here, 'h' denotes the length of the cylinder. The total charge of the cylindrical shell is -0.395h μC.

When the thin wire is inserted, the positive charge of the wire attracts the same amount of negative charge on the inner surface of the shell.

Q_{\rm wire} = \lambda h = 1.1h~{\rm \mu C}

a) The new charge on the inner shell is -1.1h μC. Therefore, the new surface charge density of the inner shell can be calculated as follows:

\sigma_2 = \frac{Q_{\rm in}}{2\pi r_1h} = \frac{-1.1h}{2\pi r_1 h} = \frac{-1.1}{2\pi(0.08)} = -2.18~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

b) The new charge on the outer shell is equal to the total charge minus the inner charge. Therefore, the new charge on the outer shell is +0.705 μC.

The new surface charge density can be calculated as follows:

\sigma_{\rm out}= \frac{Q_{\rm out}}{2\pi r_2h} = \frac{0.705h}{2\pi r_2 h} = \frac{0.705}{2\pi(0.1)} = 1.12~{\rm \mu C/m^2}

c) The electric field outside the cylinder can be found by Gauss' Law:

\int{\vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}

We will draw an imaginary cylindrical shell with radius r > r2. The integral in the left-hand side will be equal to the area of the imaginary surface multiplied by the E-field.

E(2\pi r h) = \frac{Q_{\rm enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi rh = \frac{\sigma 2\pi (r_1 + r_2)h}{\epsilon_0}\\E = \frac{\sigma(r_1 + r_2)}{\epsilon_0 r}

In a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston of circular cross section having a radi
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

(a) 1,569.63 N

(b)  195,933.99 Pa

(c) As pressure and volume are equal for each piston, workdone must also be equal

(d) 1,647.47 kg

Explanation:

Let the cross-sectional  area (CSA) of small piston = A₁

Let the  cross-sectional  area (CSA) of the bigger piston  = A₂

Let the Force applied at the smaller piston  = F₁

Let the Force applied at the bigger piston  = F₂

The principle of hydraulic lift  assumes the that the fluid is in-compressible, resulting to a constant pressure system.

F₁/A₁ =F₂/A₂----------------------------------------------------------- (1)

(a)  F₁=  F₂ xA₁ /A₂

F₂  = 13,300 N

A₁ = π r₁²

    =π x (0.0505)²

   =  0.008011 m²

A₂= π r₂²

    =π x (0.147)²

   =  0.06788 m²

Substituting into (1)

F₁ = 13,300 x  0.008011/0.06788

   = 1,569.6272

   ≈ 1,569.63 N

(b)   Air pressure = Force/Area

                            =  F₁/A₁

                            = 1,569.6272/ 0.008011

                            =   195,933.99 Pa

(c) The pressure is constant for both pistons according to Pascal Law.

Workdone = force x distance----------------------------------------- (2)

force = pressure × area

distance = volume/area from

Substituting into (2)

Workdone = pressure × volume.

As pressure and volume are equal for each piston, work must also be equal

(d)  F₂  =  F₁ x  A₂/ A₁---------------------------------------------------- (3)

A₁ = π r₁²

    =π x (0.079)²

   =  0.01960 m²

A₂= π r₂²

    =π x (0.353)²

   =  0.3914 m²

Substituting into (2)

F₂= 825 x  0.3914/ 0.01960

   = 16,474.7448

   ≈ 16,474.74 N

  = 1,647.47 kg
