Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 0.7255kN

Explanation:

The elevator floor acts on the person with a force that is due to the gravitational acceleration less the downward acceleration of the elevator:

(force of floor F) = (mass of person m) x [ (grav. acceleration g) - (elevator acceleration a) ]

in other words, considering the elevator floor as a reference frame in the Earth's gravitational field, the person's weight decreases due to the downward acceleration, as follows:

F = m\cdot(g-a)

We are given the person's weight at rest, 0.9kN, from which the mass can be determined as:

900 N = m\cdot g \implies m = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}

So

F = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}\cdot(9.8-1.9)\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 725.5N=0.7255kN

A conical container of radius 6 ft and height 24 ft is filled to a height of 19 ft of a liquid weighing 64.4 lb divided by ft cu
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Part (i) work required to pump the contents to the​ rim is 281,913.733 lb.ft

Part (ii) work required to pump the liquid to a level of 5ft above the​ cone's rim is 426,484.878 lb.ft

Explanation:

The center of mass of a uniform solid right circular cone of height h lies on the axis of symmetry at a distance of h/4 from the base and 3h/4 from the top.

Center mass of the liquid Z = (24-19)ft + 19/4 = 5ft + 4.75ft = 9.75 ft

Mass of liquid in the cone = volume × density (ρ) =  ¹/₃.π.r².h.ρ

where;

r is the radius of the liquid surface = [6*(19/24)]ft = 4.75ft

ρ is the density of liquid = 64.4 lb/ft³

h is the height of the liquid = 19 ft

Mass of liquid in the cone = ¹/₃ × π × (4.75)² × 19 × 64.4 = 28,914.229 lbs

Part (i)  work required to pump the contents to the​ rim

Work required = 28,914.229 lbs × 9.75 ft = 281,913.733 lb.ft

Part (ii) work required to pump the liquid to a level of 5 ft above the​ cone's rim

Extra work required = 28,914.229 lb ×  5ft = 144571.145 lb.ft

Total work required = (281,913.733 +  144571.145) lb.ft

                                 = 426,484.878 lb.ft

Four long wires are each carrying 6.0 A. The wires are located
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field, you use the following formula for the calculation of the magnetic field generated by a current in a wire:

B=\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

I: current = 6.0 A

r: distance to the wire in which magnetic field is measured

In this case, you have four wires at corners of a square of length 9.0cm = 0.09m

You calculate the magnetic field in one corner. Then, you have to sum the contribution of all magnetic field generated by the other three wires, in the other corners. Furthermore, you have to take into account the direction of such magnetic fields. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand side rule.

If you assume that the magnetic field is measured in the up-right corner of the square, the wire to the left generates a magnetic field (in the corner in which you measure B) with direction upward (+ j), the wire down (down-right) generates a magnetic field with direction to the left (- i)  and the third wire generates a magnetic field with a direction that is 45° over the horizontal in the left direction (you can notice that in the image attached below). The total magnetic field will be:

B_T=B_1+B_2+B_3\\\\B_{T}=\frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r_1}\hat{j}-\frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r_2}\hat{i}+\frac{\mu_o I_3}{2\pi r_3}[-cos45\hat{i}+sin45\hat{j}]

I1 = I2 = I3 = 6.0A

r1 = 0.09m

r2 = 0.09m

r_3=\sqrt{(0.09)^2+(0.09)^2}m=0.127m

Then you have:

B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{r_2}-\frac{cos45}{r_3})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{sin45}{r_3})\hat{j}}]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{0.09m}-\frac{cos45}{0.127m})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{0.09m}+\frac{sin45}{0.127m})]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[-16.67\hat{i}+16.67\hat{j}]\\\\B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T

What is the relationship of human beings to time ?
aalyn [17]

The Relationship with Time: When you focus on time and you focus on something you can't control, it creates stress. When you focus on time and you focus on something you can't control, it creates stress. We need to focus on the things that we can control and then we bring our best energy.

A 85.0 cm wire of mass 9.40 g is tied at both ends and adjusted to a tension of 39.0 N . When it is vibrating in its second over
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

frequency = 104.80 Hz

wavelength = 0.567 m

frequency = 104.80 Hz

wavelength = 3.27 m

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 9.4 g = 9.4 ×10^{-3} m

length L = 85 cm = 0.85 m

tension  T = 39 N

to find out

frequency and wavelength

solution

first we find frequency for second overtone

f = 3 /2L × √(T/μ)   .............1

put here all value and

here μ = m/L = 9.4 ×10^{-3} / 0.85 = 1.10588 ×10^{-2} kg/m

f = 3 /2(0.85) × √(39/1.10588 ×10^{-2})

f = 104.80 Hz

and

wavelength is 2L/3

wavelength = 2(0.85) / 3

wavelength = 0.567 m

and

frequency = 104.80 Hz

and

wavelength by speed of sound i.e 343 m/s

wavelength = speed / f

wavelength = 343 / 104.80

wavelength = 3.27 m
