If you have charged an electroscope by contact with a positively charged object, describe how you could use it to determine the

charge of other objects. Specifically, what would the leaves of the electroscope do if other charged objects were brought near its knob?

Explanation:

  • When we have a pre-charged electroscope that is charged using a positive object then we observe that the leaves of the electroscope are spread wide in the diverging position due to the like charges of positive nature on the two leaves.
  • As we know that the charges can only travel through the conductors hence the assembly of the electroscope from the contact knob to the leaves is made of conductor. So the charges spread uniformly on this conductor.
  • Now we can use this as a tester of the other charges. When we bring a negatively charged object near the knob of the electroscope then the opposite charges i.e. positive charges accumulate near the knob due to attraction and the leaves of the electroscope go unstrained and get closer naturally.
  • Contrarily when a positive charge is brought near the knob of the electroscope then the the uniformly distributed charges move away from the knob and accumulate at the farthest point and more deviation is observed on the leaves.

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower
liq [111]

initial speed of the stuntman is given as

v = 28 m/s

angle of inclination is given as

\theta = 15 degree

now the components of the velocity is given as

v_x = 28 cos15 = 27.04 m/s

v_y = 28 sin15 = 7.25 m/s

here it is given that the ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower than the ramp from which she will leave.

So the displacement in vertical direction is given as

\delta y = -25 m

\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

-25 = 7.25 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2

by solving above equation we have

t = 3.12 s

Now in the above interval of time the horizontal distance moved by it is given by

d_x = v_x * t

d_x = 27.04 * 3.12 = 84.4 m

since the canyon width is 77 m which is less than the horizontal distance covered by the stuntman so here we can say that stuntman will cross the canyon.

A block of 250-mm length and 48 × 40-mm cross section is to support a centric compressive load P. The material to be used is a b
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

153.6 kN

Explanation:

The elastic constant k of the block is

k = E * A/l

k = 95*10^9 * 0.048*0.04/0.25 = 729.6 MN/m

0.12% of the original length is:

0.0012 * 0.25 m = 0.0003  m

Hooke's law:

F = x * k

Where x is the change in length

F = 0.0003 * 729.6*10^6 = 218.88 kN (maximum force admissible by deformation)

The compressive load will generate a stress of

σ = F / A

F = σ * A

F = 80*10^6 * 0.048 * 0.04 = 153.6 kN

The smallest admisible load is 153.6 kN
