Answer:

136.27 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The velocity of the pulse is given as

v = L/t................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the pulse, L = total length of the pulse, t = time.

Given: L = 4×2×6.48 (as the pulse makes four tips down and back) = 51.84 m, t = 0.877 s.

substitute into equation 1

v = 51.84/0.877

v = 59.11 m/s.

Using,

But,

v = √(T/m')................... Equation 2

Where T  tension in the cord, m' = mass per unit length of the cord.

make T the subject of the equation

T = v²m'.................... Equation 3

Given: v = 59.11 m/s, m' = 0.253/6.48 = 0.039 kg/m

Substitute into equation 3

T = 59.11²(0.039)

T = 136.27 N

Hence the tension in the cord = 136.27 N

Answer:

The maximum volume is 1417.87 inch^3

Explanation:

<u>Optimization Using Derivatives</u>

We have a 24x30 inch piece of metal and we need to make a rectangular box by cutting a square from each corner of the piece and bending up the sides. The width of the piece is 24 inches and its length is 30 inches

When we cut a square of each corner of side x, the base of the box (after bending up the sides) will be (24-2x) and (30-2x), width and length respectively. The volume of the box is

V=(24-2x)(30-2x)x

Operating

V=4x^3-108x^2+720x

To find the maximum value of V, we compute the first derivative and equate it to zero

V'=12x^2-216x+720=0

Simplifying by 12

x^2-18x+60=0

Completing squares

x^2-18x+81-81+60=0

(x-9)^2=21

We have two values for x

x=9+\sqrt{21}=13.58\ inch

x=9-\sqrt{21}=4.42\ inch

The first value is not feasible because it will produce a negative width (24-2(13.58))=-6.16

We'll keep only the solution

x=4.42\ inch

The width is

w=(24-2(4.42))=15.16\ inch

The length is

l=(30-2(4.42))=21.16\ inch

And the height

x=4.42\ inch

The maximum volume is

V=(15.16)(21.16)(4.42)=1417.87\ inch^3

A step index fiber has a numerical aperture of NA = 0.1. The refractive index of its cladding is 1.465. What is the largest core
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

diameter = 9.951 × 10^{-6} m

Explanation:

given data

NA = 0.1

refractive index = 1.465

wavelength = 1.3 μm

to find out

What is the largest core diameter for which the fiber remains single-mode

solution

we know that for single mode v number is

V ≤ 2.405

and v = \frac{2*\pi *r}{ wavelength} NA

here r is radius    

so we can say

\frac{2*\pi *r}{ wavelength} NA    = 2.405

put here value

\frac{2*\pi *r}{1.3*10^{-6}} 0.1    = 2.405

solve it we get r

r = 4.975979 × x^{-6} m

so diameter is = 2  ×  4.975979 × 10^{-6} m

diameter = 9.951 × 10^{-6} m

Choose the option that best answers the question. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 16 ft longer than the length of the shor
FrozenT [24]

Answer: The hypotenuse is 26 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: Let's call the shorter leg of the triangle x. The hypotenuse would be x + 16 and the other leg is y.

As the area is 120, we know that x.y/2 = 120 (because it's a right triangle).

This way, y = 240/x

we know that in a right triangle, we have a² = b² + c²

(x + 16)² = x² + y²

(x + 16)² = x² + (240/2)²

x² + 32x + 256 = x² + 57600/x²

32x + 256 = 57600/x²

32x³ + 256x² = 57600 (÷ 32)

x³ + 8x² = 1800

x = 10

∴

x + 16 = 26

y = 240/10 = 24
