A lightweight string is wrapped several times around the rim of a small hoop. If the free end of the string is held in place and

the hoop is released from rest, the string unwinds and the hoop descends. How does the tension in the string (T) compare to the weight of the hoop

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension

For linear motion of hoop downwards

mg -T = ma , m is mass of the hoop . a is linear acceleration of CG of hoop .

For rotational motion of hoop

Torque by tension

T x R ,      R is radius of hoop.

Angular acceleration be α,

Linear acceleration a = α R

So TR = I  α

= I  a / R

a = TR² / I

Putting this value in earlier relation

mg -T = m TR² / I

mg = T ( 1 + m R² / I )

T = mg / ( 1 + m R² / I )

mg / ( 1 + R² / k² )

Tension is less than mg or weight because denominator of the expression is more than 1.

Find the GCF 12, 18, and 84
ahrayia [7]
To find the answer, plot down the factors for every number.

12:   1, 2 ,3 ,4, 6, 12

18:   1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

84:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12

If you noticed, the number that was common to the 3 numbers, were 1, 2, 3, and 6
And 6 is the bigger number
So 6 is your GCF

Marianna [84]

Answer:

972 J

Explanation:

At the bottom, all the gravitational potential energy was converted into kinetic energy. If you calculate the GPE, its value will be the same that the KE at the bottom. The GPE can be calculated this way:

GPE = mass×gravity×heigth

GPE = 2.2×9.8×45.08 ≈ 972

Russell bradley carried 207 kg of bricks 3.65 m up a ladder. If the amount of work required to perform that task is used to comp
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in carrying bricks

mgh

= 207 x 9.8 x 3.65

-= 7404.4 J

Work done in compressing gas

PΔV

Pressure x change in volume

1.8 x 10⁶ ΔV = 7404.4

ΔV  = 7404.4  / 1.8 x 10⁶m³

= 4113.33 x 10⁻⁶ m³

= 4113.33 cc
