The Hubble Space Telescope is stabilized to within an angle of about 2-millionths of a degree by means of a series of gyroscopes

that spin at 19,200 rpm. Although the structure of these gyroscopes is actually quite complex, we can model each of the gyroscopes as a thin-walled cylinder of mass 2.0 kg and diameter 5.0 cm, spinning about its central axis. How large a torque would it take to cause these gyroscopes to precess through an angle of 1.0×10−6 degree during a 5.0-hour exposure of a galaxy?

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The required torque that it would take to cause the gyroscopes to precess through an angle of 1.0×10−6 degree during a 5.0-hour exposure of a galaxy is 2.44 ×10⁻¹² N·m  

Explanation:

To solve the question we first resolve the units of the given quantities as follows

The gyroscopes spin at 19,200 rpm that is 19,200 revolutions per minute

1 revolution = 2π rad and

1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore 19,200 revolutions per minute = 2π×19,200÷60 rad/s

= 2010.619 rad/s

The angle of precess is given as 1.0×10⁻⁶ °. We convert the angle to radians as follows

360 ° = 2π radians

1 ° = \frac{\pi }{180} radians and

1.0×10⁻⁶ ° =  \frac{\pi }{180} radians × 1.0×10⁻⁶ ° = 1.745×10⁻⁸ rad

To find the torque we note that the torque is given by

Precession angular speed × The moment of inertia × angular velocity

The precession angular speed is given by \frac{Precession. Angle}{time}

The precession angle was determined in rad as 1.745×10⁻⁸ rad

The precession time is 5 hours which is equal to 5×60×60 = 18000 s

Therefore the precession velocity = \frac{1.745*10^{-8} rad}{18000 s} =  9.696×10⁻¹³ rad/s

The moment of inertia is given by

Formula for the moment of inertia of a thin walled cylinder I = m·r²

Where:

r = Radius of the gyroscope = Diameter/2 = 5.0 cm/2 = 2.5 cm = ‪0.025‬ m

m = Mass of each gyroscopes = 2.0 kg

Therefore I = m·r² = 2.0 kg × (0.025‬ m)² = 0.00125 kg·m²

Torque, τ = Ω·I·ω

Where:

Ω = Precession velocity = 9.696×10⁻¹³ rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 0.00125 kg·m²

ω = Angular speed = 2010.619 rad/s

τ = 9.696×10⁻¹³ rad/s × 0.00125 kg·m² × 2010.619 rad/s =

2.44 ×10⁻¹² kg·m²/ s² =   2.44 ×10⁻¹² N·m  

The required torque is 2.44 ×10⁻¹² N·m.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

steady state temperature =88.7deg C

t=time within  1 deg C of it steady state is 8.31s

Explanation:

A 1 m long wire of diameter 1mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature 25-degC. The wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 Ω/m. If a current of 100 A flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is 500W/m2K, what is the steady state temperature of the wire? From the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature within 1-degC of the steady state value? The density of the wire is 8,000kg/m3, its heat capacity is 500 J/kgK and its thermal condu

The diameter of the wire is known to be=1mm

properties=

The density of the wire is 8,000 kg/m3,

heat capacity is 500 J/kgK

themal conductivity is 20W/m.K

electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 Ω/m

from lump capavity method

B_{i} =\frac{hr/2}{k}

500*(2.5*10^-4)/20

0.006<0.1

we know also, to find steady state temperature

\piDh(T-Tinf)=I^{2} R_{e}

make T the subject of the equation , we have

T=25+\frac{100^2*0.01}{\pi*0.001*500 }

T=88.7 degC

rate of chnage in temperature

dT/dt=\frac{I^2*Re}{rho*c*\pi*D^2/4 } -\frac{4h}{rho*c*D} (T-Tinf)

at t=o and integrating both sides\frac{T-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh) }{Ti-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh } =exp\frac{-4ht}{rho*c*D}

we have

\frac{87.7-25-63.7}{25-25-63.7} =exp\frac{4*500t}{8000*500*0.001}

t=8.31s

steady state temperature =88.7deg C

t=time within  1 degC of it steady stae is 8.31s

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back. What is their displacement?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person swims to the other end of a 20m long pool and back.

We need to find his displacement.

Displacement = shortest path covered

He reaches at the same position as from where he has started. It means the shortest path covered is equal to 0 i.e. his displacement is zero.

A 0.73-m aluminum bar is held with its length parallel to the east-west direction and dropped from a bridge. Just before the bar
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A)  B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T, B) the positive side of the bar is to the West

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we must use the expression of Faraday's law for a moving body

            fem = -  \frac{d \phi }{dt}

            fem = - \frac{d (B l y}{dt}= - B l v- d (B l y) / dt = - B lv

            B = - \frac{fem}{l \ v}

we calculate

             B = - 7.9 10⁻⁴ /(0.73 20)

             B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T

B) to determine which side of the bar is positive, we must use the right hand rule

the thumb points in the direction of the rod movement to the south, the magnetic field points in the horizontal direction and the rod is in the east-west direction.

Therefore the force points in the direction perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field is in the east direction; therefore the positive side of the bar is to the West
