Given Information:  

Resistance = R = 250 Ω

Voltage = V = 3 V

Tolerance =   ±5%

Required Information:  

Maximum current = Imax = ?

Minimum current = Imin = ?

Answer:  

Imax = 12.6 uA

Imin = 11.4 uA

Explanation:  

As we know from Ohm's law

I = V/R

The current will be maximum when R is minimum and the current will be minimum when R is maximum

Rmax = 250,000 + 0.05*250,000

Rmax = 250,000 + 12500

Rmax = 262500 Ω

Rmin = 250,000 - 0.05*250,000

Rmin = 250,000 - 12500

Rmin = 237500 Ω

Imax = V/Rmin

Imax = 3/237500

Imax = 12.6 uA

Imin = V/Rmax

Imin = 3/262500

Imin = 11.4 uA

A 55.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300. What h
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

161.86 N

Explanation:

mass of box m= 55.0 kg

weight of the box, mg= 55×9.81

g here is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/sec^2

coefficient of friction between the box and the surface μ= 0.3

the friction force F_s= μmg= 0.3×55×9.81

=161.86 N

to move the ball horizontal force required is 161.86 N

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of the following free body diagram.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Explanation:

First, we must calculate the resultant force (\vec F), in newtons, by vectorial sum:

\vec F = [(-200\,N)\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}+(400\,N)\cdot \cos 45^{\circ}+300\,N]\,\hat{i} + [(200\,N)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ} + (400\,N)\cdot \sin 45^{\circ}-100\,N]\,\hat{j} (1)

\vec F = 182.843\,\hat{i} + 356.048\,\hat{j}

Second, we calculate the magnitude of the resultant force by Pythagorean Theorem:

\|\vec F\| = \sqrt{(482.843\,N)^{2}+(356.048\,N)^{2}}

\|\vec F\| \approx 599.923\,N

Let suppose that direction of the resultant force is an standard angle. According to (1), the resultant force is set in the first quadrant:

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{356.048\,N}{482.843\,N} \right)

Where \theta is the direction of the resultant force, in sexagesimal degrees.

\theta \approx 36.405^{\circ}

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas
SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity
