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

What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.
