Answer:

Tension in the supporting cable is = 4,866 N ≅4.9 KN

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand that tension is a force, so the motion law

F = Ma applies perfectly.

From Newtons third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. This means that the force experienced by the elevator, is equal to the tension experienced by the spring.

Parameters given:

Mass of load = 1650 kg

Acceleration of load = ?

The acceleration of the load can be obtained by diving the change in velocity by the time taken. But we need to know the time taken for the motion to 41 m.

Time taken = distance covered / velocity

= \frac{41m}{11m/s} = 3.73 seconds

∴Acceleration = ( initial velocity - final velocity )/ time taken

Note: Final velocity is = 0 since the body came to a rest.

Acceleration = \frac{11 - 0 m/s}{3.73s} = 2.95m/s^{2}

Force acting on the cable = mass of elevator × acceleration of elevator

= 1650 × 2.95 = 4869.5 kg ≅ 4.9 KN

Estimate how far apart the rays of deepest red and deepest violet light are as they exit the bottom surface. assume nred = 1.57
Harlamova29_29 [7]
We begin by noting that the angle of incidence is the one that's taken with respect to the normal to the surface in question. In this case the angle of incidence is 30. The material is Flint Glass according to the original question. The refractive indez of air n1=1, the refractive index of red in flint glass is nred=1.57, finally for violet in the glass medium is nviolet=1.60. Snell's Law dictates:
n_1sin(\theta_1)=n_2sin(\theta_2)
Where \theta_2 differs for each wavelenght, that means violet and red will have different refractive indices in the glass.
In the second figure provided details are given on which are the angles in question, \Delta x is the distance between both rays.
\theta_{2red}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.57})\approx 18.5705
\theta_{2violet}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.60})\approx 18.21
At what distance d from the incidence normal will the beams land at the bottom?
For violet we have:
d_{violet}=h.tan(\theta_{2violet})\approx 0.0132m
For red we have:
d_{red}=h.tan(\theta_{2red})\approx 0.0134m
We finally have:
\Delta x=d_{red}-d_{violet}\approx2.8\times10^{-4}m

leonid [27]

155Ω

Explanation:

R = R ref ( 1 + ∝ ( T - Tref)  

where R = conduction resistance at temperature T

R ref = conductor resistance at reference temperature

∝ = temperature coefficient of resistance for conductor

T = conduction temperature in degrees Celsius

T ref = reference temperature that ∝ is specified at for the conductor material

T = 600 k - 273 k = 327 °C

Tref = 300 - 273 K = 27 °C

R = 50 Ω ( 1 + 0.007 ( 327 - 27) )

R = 155Ω

Mass of 23.94kg and volume 2.10 cubic centimeters. Calculate the density of the copper wire in si units (ų/mm cubic)
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Density = 1.14 kg/mm³

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume = 2.10 cm³ to mm = 2.10 * 10 = 21 mm³

Mass = 23.94kg

To find the density;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Density = \frac{23.94}{21}

Density = 1.14 kg/mm³
