Spin cycles of washing machines remove water from clothes by producing a large radial acceleration at the rim of the cylindrical

tub that holds the water and clothes. Suppose that the diameter of the tub in a typical home washing machine is 50 cm.
1.What is the rotation rate, in rev/min, of the tub during the spin cycle if the radial acceleration of points on the tub wall is 3g?
2.At this rotation rate, what is the tangential speed in m/s of a point on the tub wall?

Given Information:

Diameter of the cylindrical tub = d = 50 cm = 0.50 m  

Acceleration = α = 3g

Required Information:

1. Rotation rate in rev/min = ω = ?

2. Tangential speed in m/s = v = ?

Answer:

1. ω = 103.5 rev/min

2. v = 2.71 m/s

Explanation:

We know that centripetal acceleration is given by

α = ω²r

Where ω is the angular speed or rotation rate and r is the radius.

The relation between diameter and radius is given by

r = D/2

r = 0.50/2

r = 0.25 m

Since it is given that the acceleration is equal to 3g where g is the gravitational acceleration 9.81 m/s².

α = ω²r

3g = ω²r

ω² = 3g/r

ω = √(3g/r)

ω = √(3*9.81/0.25)

ω = 10.84 rad/s

To convert rad/s into rev/s divide it by 2π

ω = 10.84/2π

ω = 1.752 rev/s

To convert rev/s into rev/min multiple it by 60

ω = 1.752*60

ω = 103.5 rev/min

Therefore, the rotation rate is 103.5 rev/min

2. The tangential speed can be found using

v = ωr

Where ω is the rotation rate in rad/s and r is the radius.

v = 10.84*0.25

v = 2.71 m/s

Therefore, the tangential speed is 2.71 m/s

In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.362 μm and density 0.888 g/cm3 is suspended in chamber C when a downward-point
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The charge on the oil drop is 3e

Explanation:

F = qE

Where;

F is the applied force in Newton

E is the electric field potential N/C

q is charge in C

Given;

Radius, r = 1.362 μm = 1.362 X 10⁻⁶ m

density, ρ = 0.888 g/cm³ = 0.888 X 10³ kg/m³

Electric field potential = 1.92 ✕ 10⁵ N/C

F =mg

mass of the oil drop = density, ρ  X volume of the oil drop

volume of the oil drop (spherical) =  (4/3)πr³ = 1.3333π(1.362 X 10⁻⁶)³

⇒ volume of the oil drop = 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ m³

mass of the oil drop = 0.888 X 10³ (kg/m³) X 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ (m³)

⇒ mass of the oil drop = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg

⇒ F =mg = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg X 9.8 = 9.21 X10⁻¹⁴ N

F = qE

q = F/E

q = (9.21 X10⁻¹⁴)/(1.92 ✕ 10⁵) = 4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

In terms of e

1e = 1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C

=  (4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C) = 3e

Therefore, the charge on the oil drop is 3e

Why is the weight of the ruler not include in the calculation of moment?​
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Since the distance between the pivot and its weight is zero, the moment of its weight about the pivot (= weight × 0) is zero. Hence, the weight of the ruler can be ignored.

Hope this helps:)

Two engineering students, John with a weight of 92 kg and Mary with a weight of 46 kg, are 30 m apart. Suppose each has a 0.04%
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

F = 6.27 x 10 ¹⁹ N

Explanation:

Given

m₁ = 92 kg, m₂ = 46 kg, % = 0.04% N = 6.022 x 10²³ Z = 18, e = 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ C, M = 0.018 kg/mol

q₁ = % * [m * N * A * e / M ]  

q₁ = 0.0004 * [ ( 92 kg * 6.022 x 10²³ * 18 * 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ ) / (0.018 kg/mol ) ]

q₁ = 3.54 x 10⁶ C

q₂ = 0.0004 * [ ( 46 kg * 6.022 x 10²³ * 18 * 1.6 x 10 ⁻¹⁹ ) / (0.018 kg/mol ) ]

q₂ = 1.773 x 10⁶ C

Now to determine the electrostatic force con use the equation

F = K * q₁ * q₂ / d²

K = 8.99 x 10 ⁹

F = 8.99 x 10 ⁹ * 3.54 x 10⁶ C * 1.773 x 10⁶ C / (30m)²

F = 6.27 x 10 ¹⁹ N
