A chain lying on the ground is 11 meters long and its mass is 95 kilograms. The chain is threaded through a pulley, which is fix

ed to the ground, and pulled directly up so that it forms the shape of an L. How much work is required to raise one end of the chain to a height of 7 meters?

Answer: 296.1 J or 6.98 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Length of chain, l = 11 m

Mass of chain, m = 95 kg

It is worthy of note that chain has two ends. So this depends which of the two ends should end up at

the given height of 7 m.

Scenario 1. If it is the leading end:

Weight of chain raised

W = mg/l

W = 9.8×95/11

W = 84.6 N

Height raised = ½ m (which is the height of the centre of gravity of the raised portion).

Work done = 84.6 × 1/2 * 7 = 296.1 Joules

Scenario 2. If it is the trailing end:

Weight of chain raised = 9.8×95 = 931 N.

Height raised (average) = 12.5 m (5.5 m for the chain midpoint + 7 m off the ground)

Work done = 931 × 7.5 = 6.98 kJoules

Thus, the work required is either of 296.1 J or 6.98 kJ

The drum of a washing machine spins at 200 rpm the drum had a radius of 0.5m what will the centripetal force experienced by a to
miskamm [114]

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

The given parameters;

  • angular speed of the washing machine, ω = 200 rpm
  • radius of the machine' drum, r = 0.5 m
  • mass of the towel, m = 0.25 kg

The centripetal force experienced by the towel spinning along the walls of the drum is calculated as follows;

Fc = mrω²

where;

<em>Fc is the centripetal force</em>

<em>ω is angular speed in rad/s</em>

The angular speed in rad/s is calculate as;

\omega = \frac{200 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \\\\\omega = 20.95 \ rad/s

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is calculated as;

F_c = mr\omega ^2\\\\F_c = 0.25 \times 0.5 \times (20.95)^2\\\\F_c = 54.9 \ N \ \approx 55 \ N

Thus, the centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

The transfer of thermal energy is a major aspect of which branch of physics?
scZoUnD [109]
Mechanics is dealing with forces that are effecting some body, electrostatics is about electrical fields of not moving bodies, and quantum mechanics is dealing with quantum states of atoms. 

Thermodynamics as the word say, is dealing with thermal energy that is moving (transferring from one body to another or even better from one medium to another).
