A heavy-duty shock absorber is compressed 4 cm from its equilibrium position by a mass of 700nbspkg. How much work is required
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
A mass of 700 kg will exert a force of
700 x 9.8
= 6860 N.
Amount of compression x = 4 cm
= 4 x 10⁻² m
Force constant K = force of compression / compression
= 6860 / 4 x 10⁻²
= 1715 x 10² Nm⁻¹.
Let us take compression of r at any moment
Restoring force by spring
= k r
Force required to compress = kr
Let it is compressed by small length dr during which force will remain constant.
Work done
dW = Force x displacement
= -kr -dr
= kr dr
Work done to compress by length d
for it r ranges from 0 to -d
Integrating on both sides
W =
= [ kr²/2]₀^-4
= 1/2 kX16X10⁻⁴
= .5 x 1715 x 10² x 16 x 10⁻⁴
= 137.20 J

Answer:
the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW
Explanation:
Given that;
Volume flow rate of river v = 240 m³/s
Height above the lake surface a h = 50 m
Amount of power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled = ?
Now the collected water in the dam contains potential energy which is used for the power generation,
hence, total mechanical energy is due to potential energy alone.
= m(gh)
first we determine the mass flow rate of the fluid m
m = p×v
where p is density ( 1000 kg/m³
so we substitute
m = 1000kg/m³ × 240 m³/s
m = 240000 kg/s
so we plug in our values into ( = m(gh) kJ/kg )
= 240000 × 9.8 × 50
= 117600000 W
= 117.6 MW
Therefore, the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW
Answer:
x = 17.88[m]
Explanation:
We can find the components of the initial velocity:
We have to remember that the acceleration of gravity will be worked with negative sign, since it acts in the opposite direction to the movement in direction and the projectile upwards.
g = - 9.81[m/s^2]
Now we must find the time it takes for the projectile to hit the ground, as the problem mentions that it does not impact on the board.
With this time we can calculate the horizontal distance:
