Two long, parallel wires are separated by a distance of 2.60 cm. The force per unit length that each wire exerts on the other is

4.30×10^−5 N/m, and the wires repel each other. The current in one wire is 0.520 A.Required:a. What is the current in the second wire? b. Are the two currents in the same direction or in opposite directions?

Answer:

<em>10.75 A</em>

<em>The current is in opposite direction since it causes a repulsion force between the wires</em>

Explanation:

Force per unit length on the wires = 4.30×10^−5 N/m

distance between wires = 2.6 cm = 0.026 m

current through one wire = 0.52 A

current on the other wire = ?

Recall that the force per unit length of two wires conducting and lying parallel and close to each other is given as

F/l = \frac{u_{0}I_{1} I_{2}  }{2\pi r }

where F/l is the force per unit length on the wires

u_{0} = permeability of vacuum = 4π × 10^−7 T-m/A

I_{1} = current on the first wire = 0.520 A

I_{2} = current on the other wire = ?

r = the distance between the two wire = 0.026 m

substituting the value into the equation, we have

4.30×10^−5 = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}*0.520*I_{2}  }{2\pi *0.026} =  \frac{ 2*10^{-7}*0.520*I_{2}  }{0.026}

4.30×10^−5 = 4 x 10^-6 I_{2}

I_{2} = (4.30×10^-5)/(4 x 10^-6) = <em>10.75 A</em>

<em>The current is in opposite direction since it causes a repulsion force between the wires.</em>

g A 1.45-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 860 N/m). The coefficient of static friction betwe
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The minimum compression is  x= 0.046m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

              The mass of the block is m_b = 1.45 kg

               The spring constant is  k = 860 N/m

               The coefficient of static friction is  \mu = 0.36

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the  horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

     Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

                   F_y = m_b*g

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is  force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

                   F_x = k *x * \mu

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

        Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

                      x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}

substituting values we have

                     x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}

                        x= 0.046m

The period P of a pendulum depend on its length , mass as well as the acceleration due to gravity . Use dimensional analysis to
Savatey [412]

Explanation:

Period P has units of seconds (s).

Length has units of meters (m).

Mass has units of kilograms (kg).

Acceleration has units of meters per second squared (m/s²).

Dimensional analysis:

s = √(m / (m/s²))

Therefore:

P = k √(L/g)

where k is a dimensionless constant.
