The resultant vector is zero.

Explanation:

When you add displacement vectors using the head to tail method, you follow this procedure:

- Draw the first vector

- Draw the second vector, with its tail starting from the head of the first vector

- Draw the third vector, with its tail starting from the head of the second vector

.. and so on.

The resultant of the all vectors will be the vector connecting the tail of the 1st vector to the head of the last vector.

In this problem, the vectors make a closed polygon: this means that the head of the last vector coincides with the tail of the first vector.

Therefore, this means that the length of the resultant vector is zero.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the continuity of fluids in a pipeline and apply Bernoulli's balance on the given speeds.

Our values are given as

$d_1 = 2.5cm \rightarrow r_1=1.25cm=1.25*10^{-2}m$

$d_2 = 1.2cm \rightarrow r_2 = 0.6cm = 0.6*10^{-2}m$

From the continuity equations in pipes we have to

$A_1V_1 = A_2 V_2$

Where,

$A_{1,2}$ = Cross sectional Area at each section

$V_{1,2}$ = Flow Velocity at each section

Then replacing we have,

$(\pi r_1^2) v_1 = (\pi r_2^2) v_2$

$(1.25*10^{-2})^2 v_1 = ( 0.06*10^{-2})^2 v_2$

$v_2 = \frac{(1.25*10^{-2})^2 }{0.6*10^{-2})^2} v_1$

From Bernoulli equation we have that the change in the pressure is

$\Delta P = \frac{1}{2} \rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$7.3*10^3 = \frac{1}{2} (1000)([ \frac{(1.25*10^{-2})^2 }{0.6*10^{-2})^2} v_1 ]^2-v_1^2)$

$7300= 8919.01 v_1^2$

$v_1 = 0.9m/s$

Therefore the speed of flow in the first tube is 0.9m/s

A box slides with uniform acceleration up an incline. The box has an initial speed of 9.0 m/s and rises vertically 2.60 m before

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: 0.58

Explanation:

First we need to get the acceleration of the body using equation of motion

v²=u²-2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is acceleration

s is the distance moved

0²=9²-2a(2.6)

-81=-5.2a

a=81/5.2

a= 15.6m/s²

Angle of inclination =30°

To get the coefficient of friction, we use the formula

Ff =nR

Ff is frictional force

n is coefficient of friction

R is normal reaction

n = Ff/R = Wsin30°/Wcos30°

n = tan30°

n = 0.58
