A tall, cylindrical chimney falls over when its base is ruptured. Treat the chimney as a thin rod of length 53.2 m. At the insta

nt it makes an angle of 34.1° with the vertical as it falls, what are (a) the radial acceleration of the top, and (b) the tangential acceleration of the top. (Hint: Use energy considerations, not a torque.) (c) At what angle θ is the tangential acceleration equal to g? Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.81 m/s2

From an energy balance, we can use this formula to solve for the angular speed of the chimney

ω^2 = 3g / h sin θ

Substituting the given values:
ω^2 = 3 (9.81) / 53.2 sin 34.1
ω^2 = 0.987 /s

The formula for radial acceleration is:
a = rω^2

So,
a = 53.2 (0.987) = 52.494 /s^2

The linear velocity is:
v^2 = ar
v^2 = 52.949 (53.2) = 2816.887

The tangential acceleration is:
a = r v^2
a = 53.2 (2816.887)
a = 149858.378 m/s^2

If the tangential acceleration is equal to g:
g = r^2 3g / sin θ
Solving for θ
θ = 67°

Why are circuit breakers and fuses important?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

A fuse and circuit breaker both serve to protect an overloaded electrical circuit by interrupting the continuity, or the flow of electricity. ... Fuses tend to be quicker to interrupt the flow of power, but must be replaced after they melt, while circuit breakers can usually simply be reset.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Kevin wants to make the firm private

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question in regards to the situation it seems that Kevin wants to make the firm private. Private Firms are companies that are owned by non-governmental entities or instead owned by  a single individual or a very small amount of shareholders. Which is what Kevin seems to be wanting to do since he wants to buy back all the shares of the company so that only his family owns the company.
