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

A student attaches a rope to his
erastova [34]

The choices are:

a. Normal Force

b. Gravity Force

c. Applied Force

d. Friction Force

e. Tension Force

​f. Air Resistance Force

Answer:

The answer is letter e, Tension Force.

Explanation:

Force refers to the "push" and "pull" of an object, provided that the object has mass. This results to acceleration or a change in velocity. There are many types of forces such as <em>Normal Force, Gravity Force, Applied Force, Friction Force, Tension Force and Air Resistance Force.</em>

The situation above is an example of a "tension force." This is considered the force that is being applied to an object by strings or ropes. This is a type force that allows the body to be pulled and not pushed, since ropes are not capable of it. In the situation above, the tension force of the rope is acting on the bag and this allows the bag to be pulled.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit. F=95(C)+32 On February 9, 1934,
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Buffalo, NY

Explanation:

Temperature in Buffalo, NY = -29°C

In order to compare the temperatures we need to convert them to the same scale.

F=\dfrac{9}{5}C+32\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{9}{5}\times -29+32\\\Rightarrow F=-20.2

So, the temperature in Buffalo, NY was -20.2°F and the temperature in Anchorage, AL was 19°F.

Hence, it was colder in Buffalo, NY than in Anchorage, AL.
