Answer:

T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N

Explanation:

In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.

1. forces:

Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:

ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0

(1) T1 + T2 = 500N

2. torque around the center point of the beam:

τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0

(2) T1 - T2 = -240N

Solving both equations:

T1 = 130N

T2 = 370N

The circuit you should use to find the open-circuit voltage is
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Incomplete questions check attachment for circuit diagram.

Explanation:

We are going to use superposition

So, we will first open circuit the current source and find the voltage Voc.

So, check attachment for open circuit diagram.

From the diagram

We notice that R3 is in series with R4, so its equivalent is given below

Req(3-4) = R3 + R4

R(34) = 20+40 = 60 kΩ

Notice that R2 is parallel to the equivalent of R3 and R4, then, the equivalent of all this three resistor is

Req(2-3-4) = R2•R(34)/(R2+R(34))

R(234) = (100×60)/(100+60)

R(234) = 37.5 kΩ

We notice that R1 and R(234) are in series, then, we can apply voltage divider rule to find voltage in R(234)

Therefore

V(234) = R(234) / [R1 + R(234)] × V

V(234) = 37.5/(25+37.5) × 100

V(234) = 37.5/62.5 × 100

V(234) = 60V.

Note, this is the voltage in resistor R2, R3 and R4.

Note that, R2 is parallel to R3 and R4. Parallel resistor have the same voltage, then voltage across R2 equals voltage across R34

V(34) = 60V.

Now, we also know that R3 and R4 are in series,

So we can know the voltage across R4 which is the Voc we are looking for.

Using voltage divider

V4 = Voc = R4/(R4 + R(34)) × V(34)

Voc = 40/(40+60) × 60

Voc = 24V

This is the open circuit Voltage

Now, finding the short circuit voltage when we short circuit the voltage source

Check attachment for circuit diagram.

From the circuit we notice that R1 and R2 are in parallel, so it's equivalent becomes

Req(1-2) = R1•R2/(R1+R2)

R(12) = 25×100/(25+100)

R(12) = 20 kΩ

We also notice that the equivalent of Resistor R1 and R2 is in series to R3. Then, the equivalent resistance of the three resistor is

Req(1-2-3) = R(12) + R(3)

R(123) = 20 + 20

R(123) = 40 kΩ

We notice that, the equivalent resistance of the resistor R1, R2, and R3 is in series to resistor R4.

So using current divider rule to find the current in resistor R4.

I(4) = R(123) / [R4+R(123)] × I

I(4) = 40/(40+40) × 8

I(4) = 4mA

Then, using ohms law, we can find the voltage across the resistor 4 and the voltage is the required Voc

V = IR

V4 = Voc = I4 × R4

Voc = 4×10^-3 × 40×10^3

Voc = 160V

Then, the sum of the short circuit voltage and the open circuit voltage will give the required Voc

Voc = Voc(open circuit) + Voc(short circuit)

Voc = 24 + 160

Voc = 184V.

9. Calculate the distance (in km) that Charlie runs if he maintains the average
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

<u>Correct Question:</u>

Calculate the distance (in km) charlie runs if he maintains an average speed of 8 km/hr for 1 hour

<u>Answer:</u>

The total distance covered by Charlie is 8 km in 1 hour.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The average velocity as given in the question is,

v = 8 km/hr

Total time taken,

$t=1 hour

As we know the formula to evaluate the total distance d when the average velocity and time is given;

v=\frac{d}{t}

d=v \times t

d=8 \times 1

d=8 k m

Hence, the total distance covered by Charlie in 1 hour will be 8 km.

A 49-year-old female was referred for mammography, but she is very apprehensive after reading about the risk of ionizing radiati
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Mammography is the process in which low energy radiations are used to diagnose and screening. The purpose of this process is the early detection of the breast cancer. These low energy radiations may have some risks like damaging and burning of cells.  

In the current scenario, woman is apprehensive because she has read about the risks of using ionizing radiations. The radiographer should tell her the benefits of the mammography will outweigh its potential consequences. Screening, for instance, will let her know if she is suffering from breast cancer. Cancer is very dangerous disease as compare to very small burning.

In this way radiographer should handle the situation.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis
mixer [17]

Answer:

b. passes through the principal focal point.

Explanation:

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

A lens can be defined as a transparent optical instrument that refracts rays of light to produce a real image.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of lens and these includes;

I. Diverging (concave) lens.

II. Converging (convex) lens.

A converging lens refers to a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image. This type of lens is usually thin at the lower and upper edges and thick across the middle.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis passes through the principal focal point.

Calculate the Force required to give a bullet of mass 50 g an acceleration of 300 m/s2
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 15 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>Force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 50 g = 0.05 kg

acceleration = 300 m/s²

We have

force = 0.05 × 300

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
