Answer: Earth wire

Explanation: In the three-pronged plug , left pin is neutral and color of this pin wire is black, right pin is phase and color of this pin wire is red and third pin which is larger then other two is earth pin and color of this pin wire is green.

Third pin use for safety from the shock and to control high voltage of electricity.

So, the third wire in a three-pronged plug is called earth wire.

An overhead door is guided by wheels at a and b that roll in horizontal and vertical tracks. when θ = 40°, the velocity of wheel

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

I think the situation is modeled by the scenario in the attached image. Some specific values seem to be missing (like the height of door $d$ )...

The door forms a right triangles that satisfies

$\tan\theta=\dfrac ab\implies\sec^2\theta\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{b\frac{\mathrm da}{\mathrm dt}-a\frac{\mathrm db}{\mathrm dt}}{b^2}$

We also have

$\tan\theta=\dfrac ab\implies\cos\theta=\dfrac bd$

so if you happen to know the height of the door, you can solve for $b$ and $a$ .

$d$ is fixed, so

$a^2+b^2=d^2\implies2a\dfrac{\mathrm da}{\mathrm dt}+2b\dfrac{\mathrm db}{\mathrm dt}=0\implies\dfrac{\mathrm da}{\mathrm dt}=-\dfrac ba\dfrac{\mathrm db}{\mathrm dt}$

We can solve for the angular velocity $\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dt}$ :

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\theta}{\mathrm dt}=\cos^2\theta\dfrac{b\left(-\frac ba\frac{\mathrm db}{\mathrm dt}\right)-a\frac{\mathrm db}{\mathrm dt}}{b^2}=-\dfrac1a\dfrac{\mathrm db}{\mathrm dt}$
