Assume the population of a large city like New York City is about 4 × 10^6 people, with about 1.97 people per household. Approxi

mately 1 household in 16.1 has a piano. The piano keyboard has about 64 notes (8 octaves) with about 2 strings per note. A piano should be tuned once per year (365.25 days). A piano tuner can tune about 3 pianos per day. And, finally, pianos tuners work 250 days per year. How many pianos tuners are there in New York City?

So here are the given information:

4 x 10^6 people 

1.97 people = 1 household 

16.1 households = 1 piano 


1 piano = 1 tuning/year 

1 tuner = 3 tunings/working day 

<span>1 year = 250  working days </span>


Multiplying everything: 

4 x 10^6 people x (1 household/1.97 people) x (1 piano/16.1 households) = 126115.33 pianos in NYC 

126115.33 pianos x (1 (tuning/year)/1 piano) x (1 year/250 working days) x (1 working day/3 pianos/tuner) = 168.15 tuners 


<span>Therefore about 168 piano tuners in NYC.</span>

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 68.7 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) F = 78.606\,N, b) F = 88.911\,N

Explanation:

a) Let consider two equations of equilibrium, the first parallel to ski slope and the second perpendicular to that. The equations are, respectively:

\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = 0\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0

The force on the skier is:

F = m \cdot g \cdot \sin \theta

F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree}

F = 78.606\,N

b) The equations of equilibrium are the following:

\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot a\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0

The force on the skier is:

F = m\cdot (a + g \cdot \sin \theta)

F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree})

F = 88.911\,N

NEED IT ASAP PLEASE 3 examples of how we use physics in our everyday life. Please explain throughly.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

  1. Alarm Clock. The buzzing sound of an alarm clock helps you wake up in the morning as per your schedule. The sound is something that you can’t see, but hear or experience.
  2. Cell Phones Cellphones have become like Oxygen gas in modern social life. Hardly, anyone would have been untouched by the effects of a cell phone. Whether conveying any urgent message or doing incessant gossips, cellphones are everywhere. But do you know how does a cell phone work? It works on the principle of electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, undulating patterns of electricity and magnetism.
  3. Walking.Now, when you get ready for your office/school, whatever medium of commutation is, you certainly have to walk up to a certain distance. You can easily walk is just because of Physics. While you have a walk in a park or on a tar road, you have a good grip without slipping because of a sort of roughness or resistance between the soles of your shoes and the surface of the road.

Explanation:

physical is related to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.

Describe the gravity and magnetic separation technique using sand as an example​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Gravity separation is an industrial method of separating two components, either a suspension, or dry granular mixture where separating the components with gravity is sufficiently practical: i.e. the components of the mixture have different specific materials and Magnetic separations take advantages of natural magnetic properties between minerals in feed. The separation is between economic ore constituents, noneconomic contaminants and gangue. and saw dust can be separated by gravity separation method. The process can be used for separating insoluble substances which are heavier than liquid by allowing them to settle down on their own due to gravity. The mixture of sand and iron can be separated from each other by using a magnet. Iron gets attracted towards a magnet leaving behind the sand.
