Consider two masses that hang from an overhead beam. The first mass of 50.5 kg is attached to the beam using an ideal rope. The

second mass of 16.9 kg is attached to the first mass with an ideal rope and hangs directly under the first mass.
(a) Find the tension in the lower rope.


(b) Find the tension in the upper rope.

Answer:

a) 165.79 N

b) 661.19 N

Explanation:

Given

First mass of mass, m1 = 50.5 kg

Second mass of mass, m2 = 16.9 kg

The tension in the lower rope balances the weight of the second mass, so that we have

T(lower) = 16.9 kg * 9.81 N/kg = 165.79 N

The tension in the upper rope would then balance the weight of the both the upper and lower masses together (if we assume the ropes to be ideal, then we can neglect their own masses), so that

T(upper) = (50.5 kg + 16.9 kg) * 9.81 N/kg

T(upper) = 67.4 kg * 9.81 N/kg

T(upper) = 661.19 N

Therefore, the tension in the lower rope is 165.79 N and that in the upper rope is 661.19 N

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

32 °C.

Explanation:

Hola.

En este caso, debemos entender que la relación entre el calor y la temperatura viene dada por:

Q=mCp\Delta T

De este modo, dado que estamos estudiando la misma sustancia (agua) con masa constante, la relación calor-temperatura es lineal y directamente proporcional, por tal razón, si se duplica el calor suministrado, la temperatura también será duplicada, de modo que:

\Delta T_{nuevo}=2*16\°C\\\\\Delta T_{nuevo}=32\°C

¡Saludos!

1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.

Visually, how can you distinguish between an ac and dc power supply?
Temka [501]

Answer:

By the use of slow motion camera.

Explanation:

Visually, it is very hard to differentiate between an ac and dc power supply. But Since, we that In Ac supply polarity changes 100 times in a second ( because frequency of ac supply is 50 Hz generally). Whereas, Dc gives a steady power supply. So, in slow motion camera we can easily capture the flickering light tubes which won't happen in case of dc supply.

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit
Margaret [11]

Let  us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are  separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as -  F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }   where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Let the orbital radius of planet  A is r_{1}  = r and mass of planet is m_{1}.

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A  is f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }

For planet B the orbital radius  r_{2} =2r_{1} and mass m_{2} = 3 m_{1}

Hence the gravitational force f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }

                                                 f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }

                                                 = \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }

Hence the ratio is  \frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2}  }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }

                                      =\frac{3}{4}     [ ans]

a liquid reactant is pumped through a horizontal, cylindrical, catalytic bed. The catalyst particles are spherical, 2mm in diame
natulia [17]

Answer:

The upper limit on the flow rate = 39.46 ft³/hr

Explanation:

Using Ergun Equation to calculate the pressure drop across packed bed;

we have:

\frac{\delta P}{L}= \frac{150 \mu_oU(1- \epsilon )^2}{d^2p \epsilon^3} + \frac{1.75 \rho U^2(1-\epsilon)}{dp \epsilon^3}

where;

L = length of the bed

\mu = viscosity

U = superficial velocity

\epsilon = void fraction

dp = equivalent spherical diameter of bed material (m)

\rho = liquid density (kg/m³)

However, since U ∝ Q and all parameters are constant ; we can write our equation to be :

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

where;

ΔP = pressure drop

Q = flow rate

Given that:

9.6 = A12 + B12²

Then

12A + 144B = 9.6       --------------   equation (1)

24A + 576B = 24.1    ---------------  equation (2)

Using elimination methos; from equation (1); we first multiply it by 2 and then subtract it from equation 2 afterwards ; So

288 B = 4.9

       B = 0.017014

From equation (1)

12A + 144B  = 9.6

12A + 144(0.017014) = 9.6

12 A = 9.6 - 144(0.017014)

A = \frac{9.6 -144(0.017014}{12}

A = 0.5958

Thus;

ΔP = AQ + BQ²

Given that ΔP = 50 psi

Then

50 = 0.5958 Q + 0.017014 Q²

Dividing by the smallest value and then rearranging to a form of quadratic equation; we have;

Q² + 35.02Q - 2938.8 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation and taking consideration of the positive value for the upper limit of the flow rate ;

Q = 39.46 ft³/hr
