A tool chest has 950 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

The surface has a coefficient of friction of 0.3. Determine the value of the horizontal force P necessary to cause motion of the chest to the right, and determine if the motion is sliding or tipping. The value of P is N. The motion is .

Answer:

P > 142.5 N  (→)

the motion sliding

Explanation:

Given

W = 959 N

μs = 0.3

If we apply

∑ Fy = 0 (+↑)

Ay + By = W

If  Ay = By

2*By = W

By = W / 2

By = 950 N / 2

By = 475 N (↑)

Then  we can get F (the force of friction) as follows

F = μs*N = μs*By

F = 0.3*475 N

F = 142.5 N (←)

we can apply

P - F  > 0

P  > 142.5 N (→)

Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. On the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per
kirill [66]

Solution :

Given :

$V_1 = 7 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_1$ = 3000 hours per year

$V_2 = 10 \ m/s$

Operation time, $T_2$ = 2000 hours per year

The density, ρ = $1.25 \ kg/m^3$

The wind blows steadily. So, the K.E. = $(0.5 \dot{m} V^2)$

                                                             $= \dot{m} \times 0.5 V^2$

The power generation is the time rate of the kinetic energy which can be calculated as follows:

Power = $\Delta \ \dot{K.E.} = \dot{m} \frac{V^2}{2}$

Regarding that $\dot m \propto V$. Then,

Power $ \propto V^3$ → Power = constant x $V^3$

Since, $\rho_a$ is constant for both the sites and the area is the same as same winf turbine is used.

For the first site,

Power, $P_1= \text{const.} \times V_1^3$

            $P_1 = \text{const.} \times 343 \ W$

For the second site,

Power, $P_2 = \text{const.} \times V_2^3 \ W$

           $P_2 = \text{const.} \times 1000 \ W$

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Tech A

Explanation:

The amount of energy required to apply the same force with a 1:1 ratio is divided into 4, so you can apply 4 times as much force than a 1:1 ratio. efficiency and speed come into play here, but assuming the machine powering the gear can run at a unlimited RPM, 4:1 will have more force and a slower output speed than a 2:1 ratio.

Wewaii [24]
When a psychologist simply records the relationship between two variables without manipulating them, it is called a correlational study.

The observed relationship does not by itself reveal which variable causes the other. This is the directionally problem. Also, the relationship may be due to a third variable controlling both of the observed variables.

What was the first prototype of the artificial tree like?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

An artificial Christmas tree is an artificial pine or fir tree manufactured for the specific purpose of use as a Christmas tree. The earliest artificial Christmas trees were wooden, tree-shaped pyramids or feather trees, both developed by Germans. Most modern trees are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) but many other types of trees have been and are available, including aluminum Christmas trees and fiber-optic illuminated Christmas trees.
