A 331 N stoplight is hanging in equilibrium from cables as shown. The tension in the right cable is 550 N, and it makes an angle

of 12 degrees with the horizontal. What is the force of tension exerted by the cable on the left side? 114 N 217 N 538 N 580 N

Let
F=tension of cable on the left
x=angle of left cable makes with the horizontal

Resolve forces vertically (y-direction)
331=550sin(12)+Fsin(x) =>
Fsin(x)=331-550sin(12)=216.649..........(1)

Resolve forces horizontally (x-direction)
Fcos(x)=550cos(12) =>
Fcos(x)=537.981............................(2)

Divide (1) by (2)
tan(x)=Fsin(x)/Fcos(x)=0.40271
x=atan(0.40271) = 21.935 °

From (2),
F=537.981/cos(x)=537.981/0.92761 = 579.965 N

Check:
Fsin(x)+550sin(12)=579.965*sin(21.935)+550*sin(12) = 331.000  ok
Fcos(x)=537.981
550sin(12)=537.981   ok

In forced convection, the fluid is forced to move by external means such as a fan, pump, or the wind. You must provide an answer
Grace [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Convection simply means the transfer of heat resulting from the movement of the molecules of fluid, which can be liquid or gas.

Convection can either be natural or forced. natural convection occurs by a natural means ,such as the difference in density of warm air and cool air. This occurs when the cooler air falls and the warmer air rises.

However in forced convection, the fluid is agitated by an external force eg a fan or pump.

Collect information about working of Geyser and prepare a report
ikadub [295]
A geyser is actually a devise that coverts electrical energy into heat energy for heating up water. The heating element that is inside the geyser actually gets heated up and then in turn it heats the water in contact with it within the geyser. There is also a thermostat device within the geyser that cuts off the heating when the water temperature reaches the desired level. This helps in stopping of electrical energy loss. One inlet brings in cold water while another outlet gets rid of the hot water. When the temperature of the water falls below the desired level the heating is again started by the thermostat.
