Answer:7.67

Explanation:

Given

Weight of Cathy W_1=460\ N

Force exerted by rope F=60\ N

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of load by Pulling effort      

M.A.=\frac{Load}{Pulling\ effort}

M.A.=\frac{460}{60}

M.A.=7.67\ N

What is the current in a wire of radius R = 2.02 mm if the magnitude of the current density is given by (a) Ja = J0r/R and (b) J
Sloan [31]

Explanation:

For this problem we have to take into account the expression

J = I/area = I/(π*r^(2))

By taking I we have

I = π*r^(2)*J

(a)

For Ja = J0r/R the current is not constant in the wire. Hence

I(r) = \pi r^{2} J(r) = \pi r^{2} J_{0}r/R = \pi r^{3} (3.74*10^{4}A/m^{2})/(2.02*10^{-3}m)

and on the surface the current is

I(R) = \pi r^{2} J(R) = \pi r^{2} J_{0}R/R = \pi(2.02*10^{-3})^{2} (3.74*10^{4}) = 0.47 A

(b)

For Jb = J0(1 - r/R)

I(r)=\pi r^{2}J(r) =\pi r^{2} J_{0}(1 - r/R)=\pi r^{2}J_{0}(1-\frac{r}{2.02*10^{-3}} )

and on the surface

I(R)=\pi r^{2}J_{0}(1-R/R)=\pi r^{2}J_{0}(1-1)= 0

(c)

Ja maximizes the current density near the wire's surface

Additional point

The total current in the wire is obtained by integrating

I_{T}=\pi\int\limits^R_0 {r^{2}Ja(r)} \, dr = \pi \frac{J_{0}}{R}\int\limits^R_0 {r^{3}} \ dr =\pi  \frac{J_{0}R^{4}}{4R}=\frac{1}{4}\pi J_{0}R^{3}=2.42*10^{-4} A

and in a simmilar way for Jb

I_{T}=\pi J_{0} \int\limits^R_0 {r^{2}(1-r/R)} \, dr = \pi   J_{0}[\frac{R^{3}}{3}-\frac{R^{2}}{2R}]=\pi J_{0}[\frac{R^{3}}{3}-\frac{R^{2}}{2}]

And it is only necessary to replace J0 and R.

I hope this is useful for you

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract
larisa86 [58]

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, what we must do is to follow the following steps:

1) Find the element in the periodic table.

2) Find the atomic number of the element. The atomic number is the number of protons of a single atom of that element.

3) Find the atomic weight of the element.

4) Finally, we look for the number of neutrons. For this, we follow the following relationship:

Atomic weight - number of protons = number of neutrons.

Answer:

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract:

B.) atomic number from mass number
