The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False

1 answer:

8 0

True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
$F=mg$
where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
$F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N$

A 54 kg person stands on a uniform 20 kg, 4.1 m long ladder resting against a frictionless wall.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) Force of the wall on the ladder: 186.3 N

B) Normal force of the ground on the ladder: 725.2 N

C) Minimum value of the coefficient of friction: 0.257

D) Minimum absolute value of the coefficient of friction: 0.332

Explanation:

The free-body diagram of the problem is in attachment (please rotate the picture 90 degrees clockwise). We have the following forces:

$W=mg$ : weight of the ladder, with m = 20 kg (mass) and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

$W_M=Mg$ : weight of the person, with M = 54 kg (mass)

$N_1$ : normal reaction exerted by the wall on the ladder

$N_2$ : normal reaction exerted by the floor on the ladder

$F_f = \mu N_2$ : force of friction between the floor and the ladder, with $\mu$ (coefficient of friction)

Also we have:

L = 4.1 m (length of the ladder)

d = 3.0 m (distance of the man from point A)

Taking the equilibrium of moments about point A:

$W\frac{L}{2}sin 21^{\circ}+W_M dsin 21^{\circ} = N_1 Lsin 69^{\circ}$

where

$Wsin 21^{\circ}$ is the component of the weight of the ladder perpendicular to the ladder

$W_M sin 21^{\circ}$ is the component of the weight of the man perpendicular to the ladder

$N_1 sin 69^{\circ}$ is the component of the normal force perpendicular to the ladder

And solving for $N_1$ , we find the force exerted by the wall on the ladder:

$N_1 = \frac{W}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+W_M \frac{d}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=\frac{mg}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+Mg\frac{d}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=\frac{(20)(9.8)}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+(54)(9.8)\frac{3.0}{4.1}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=186.3 N$

Here we want to find the magnitude of the normal force of the ground on the ladder, therefore the magnitude of $N_2$ .

We can do it by writing the equation of equilibrium of the forces along the vertical direction: in fact, since the ladder is in equilibrium the sum of all the forces acting in the vertical direction must be zero.

Therefore, we have:

$\sum F_y = 0\\N_2 - W - W_M =0$

And substituting and solving for N2, we find:

$N_2 = W+W_M = mg+Mg=(20)(9.8)+(54)(9.8)=725.2 N$

Here we have to find the minimum value of the coefficient of friction so that the ladder does not slip.

The ladder does not slip if there is equilibrium in the horizontal direction also: that means, if the sum of the forces acting in the horizontal direction is zero.

Therefore, we can write:

$\sum F_x = 0\\F_f - N_1 = 0$

And re-writing the equation,

$\mu N_2 -N_1 = 0\\\mu = \frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{186.3}{725.2}=0.257$

So, the minimum value of the coefficient of friction is 0.257.

Here we want to find the minimum coefficient of friction so the ladder does not slip for any location of the person on the ladder.

From part C), we saw that the coefficient of friction can be written as

$\mu = \frac{N_1}{N_2}$

This ratio is maximum when N1 is maximum. From part A), we see that the expression for N1 was

$N_1 = \frac{W}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+W_M \frac{d}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}$

We see that this quantity is maximum when d is maximum, so when

d = L

Which corresponds to the case in which the man stands at point B, causing the maximum torque about point A. In this case, the value of N1 is:

$N_1 = \frac{W}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+W_M \frac{L}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}(\frac{W}{2}+W_M)$

And substituting, we get

$N_1=\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}(\frac{(20)(9.8)}{2}+(54)(9.8))=240.8 N$

And therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction in order for the ladder not to slip is

$\mu=\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{240.8}{725.2}=0.332$

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000V/s?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$I=2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A$

Explanation:

A 6.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor has a 0.46 mm gap.

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000V/s?

Let given is,

The diameter of a parallel plate capacitor is 6 cm or 0.06 m

Separation between plates, d = 0.046 mm

The potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s

We need to find the displacement current in the capacitor. Capacitance for parallel plate capacitor is given by :

$C=\dfrac{A\epsilon_o}{d}\\\\C=\dfrac{\pi r^2\epsilon_o}{d}$ , r is radius

Let I is the displacement current. It is given by :

$I=C\dfrac{dV}{dt}$

Here, $\dfrac{dV}{dt}$ is rate of increasing potential difference

$I=\dfrac{\pi r^2\epsilon_o}{d}\times \dfrac{dV}{dt}\\\\I=\dfrac{\pi (0.03)^2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{0.46\times 10^{-3}}\times 500000\\\\I=2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A$

So, the value of displacement current is $2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A$ .
