A woman walks into a carpet store wearing high-heeled shoes with a circular heel of diameter 0.987 cm. To the dismay of the stor

e manager, she balances on one heel on an expensive carpet sample. If she has a mass of 53.0 kg, determine the pressure she exerts on the carpet sample.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Pressure which describes the amount of Force made on an area unit.

Its mathematical expression can be defined as

P = \frac{F}{A}

Where,

F= Force

A = Area

Our values are given as

d = 0.987*10^{-2}m

With the diameter we can find the Area of the circular heel, that is

A = \pi (\frac{0.987*10^{-2}}{2})^2

A = 7.6511*10^{-5}m^2

To find the force by weight we need to apply the Newton's second Law

F = mg

F = 53*9.8

F = 519.4N

Finally the pressure would be

P = \frac{F}{A}

P = \frac{519.4}{7.6511*10^{-5}}

P = 6788566.35Pa

P = 6.788MPa

Therefore the pressure that she exerts on the carpet sample is 6.788Mpa

Harman [31]

Answer:

The answer is given here would be a simplified equation, seeing as there are some missing variables in the question.

<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>

Explanation:

<em>Note: Once we have the mass of the second object and/or acceleration of the cord, we can solve for the force of the ground acting on the box.</em>

To calculate the force caused by gravity on the basic pulley system we use the following equation:

F2 = M2 x g; where g= gravitational acceleration (a constant equal to 9.8 m/s²). The mass M2 = 10.5 lb = 4762.72g

∴ F2 = 4762.72g x 9.8 m/s²

= 46, 674.656 gm/s² or 46, 674.656 N

But since this F2 is acting in a downlowrd direction, it would be negative.

Tension of the cord, T = Mass, x × acceleration. ( x is in the pulley diagram)

⇒ F1 = T - F2

<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>

A sound wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 1.8 m. What is the wave speed of the sound wave? Question 1 options:
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 \frac{m}{s}.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation velocity is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation: v = f * λ.

In this case:

  • f= 500 Hz
  • λ= 1.8 m

Replacing:

v= 500 Hz* 1.8 m

v= 900 \frac{m}{s}

<u><em>The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 </em></u>\frac{m}{s}<u><em>.</em></u>
