The 80.0-lb boy at a is suspended from the cable that passes over the quarter circular cliff rock. determine if it is possible f

or the 190-lb woman to hoist him up. the coefficient of static friction between the cable and the rock is μs = 0.2, and between the shoes of the woman and the ground μ′s= 0.8.

<span>Yes, it's possible to hoist the child up. Let's first determine the maximum amount of pull that the woman can exert. That will be the simple product of her weight and the coefficient of static friction with her shoes and the ground. So 0.8 * 190 = 152. So far, so good, since 152 is greater than the boy's 80 lbs. But the cable rubs at the cliff edge and that means that the lady has to pull harder. Let's see how much harder. There will be 80 lbs of tension on the cable, pressing against the cliff edge. So let's multiply by the coefficient of friction to get how much that is 0.2 * 80 = 16 So friction will take 16 lbs of effort to overcome. So the lady needs to pull with 80 + 16 = 96 lbs of force to move the boy. And since we've determined earlier that she can pull with up to 152 lbs of force, she can easily hoist the child up.</span>

A truck accidentally rolls down a driveway for 8.0\,\text m8.0m8, point, 0, start text, m, end text while a person pushes agains
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to work energy theorem

change in kinetic energy of truck = work done against it

work done against it = force x displacement

= - 850 x 8 = 6800 J

change in kinetic energy of truck = - 6800 J .

energy will be reduced by 6800 J

Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction. If the currents in the wires are 1A and 4A and the wires are 5 m apart.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

1.6\times 10^{-7} N

2.4\times 10^{-7} N

Explanation:

i_{1} = 1 A

i_{2} = 4 A

r = distance between the two wire = 5 m

F = Force per unit length acting between the two wires

Force per unit length acting between the two wires is given as

F = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i_{1}i_{2}}{r}

F = (10^{-7})\frac{2(1)(4)}{5}

F = 1.6\times 10^{-7} N

r'} = distance of each wire from the midpoint = 2.5 m

Magnetic field midway between the two wires is given as

B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \left \left ( \frac{2i_{2}}{r'} \right - \frac{2i_{1}}{r'} \right \right ))

B = (10^{-7}) \left \left ( \frac{2(4)}{2.5} \right - \frac{2(1)}{2.5} \right \right ))

B = 2.4\times 10^{-7}
