A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to blocks A and B, which move freely in the guides shown. The blocks are connected by

an elastic cord that passes over a pulley at C. (a) Express the tension in the cord in terms of W and theta. (b) Determine the value of theta for which the tension in the cord is equal to 3W.

Answer:

(a) T = W/2(1-tanθ)  (b) 39.81°

Explanation:

(a) The equation for tension (T) can be derived by considering the summation of moment in the clockwise direction. Thus:

Summation of moment in clockwise direction is equivalent to zero. Therefore,

T*l*(sinθ) + W*(l/2)*cosθ - T*l*cosθ = 0

T*l*(cosθ - sinθ) = W*(l/2)*cosθ

T = W*cosθ/2(cosθ - sinθ)

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by cosθ, we have:

T = [W*cosθ/cosθ]/2[(cosθ - sinθ)/cosθ] = W/2(1-tanθ)

(b) If T = 3W, then:

3W = W/2(1-tanθ),

Further simplification and rearrangement lead to:

1 - tanθ = 1/6

tanθ = 1 - (1/6) = 5/6

θ = tan^(-1) 5/6 = 39.81°

<u>Software Development and Client Needs</u>

In Incremental method of software development customers who do not have a basic idea of the development process are being carried along on like other methods that will relegate them to the background until a product is ready.

With this model and structure in place, when softwares/ products are built from several stages e.g prototype, testing, and when new features are added customers are always carried along with their valuable feedback and suggested greatly considered to achieve the customers satisfactions

This model will work well for the customers/clients who does not have a clear idea on the systems needed for their operations.

In summary the incremental model combines features from the waterfall and prototyping model.

There are 22 gloves in a drawer: 5 pairs of red gloves, 4 pairs of yellow, and 2 pairs of green. You select the gloves in the da
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Best case = 2 gloves

Given Information:

Red gloves = 5 pairs

Yellow gloves = 4 pairs

Green gloves = 2 pairs

smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair in the best case = ?

Explanation:

How many gloves do you need to make one matching pair?

2

Yes, you are right. 2 gloves makes a matching pair and it is the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair.

But what about worst case?

lets say

you tried all 5 red gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 4 yellow gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 2 green gloves either all of them were left or right

Now all the left or right gloves are tried (5 + 4 + 2 = 11) and the 12th one will definitely be either matching red, yellow or green.

Therefore, in the worst case scenario, the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair is 12.
