Two blocks of masses M 1 and M 2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M

2 , which has a mass of 13.5 kg , rests on a long ramp of angle θ = 35.5 ∘ . Friction can be ignored in this problem. Find the value of the mass M 1 for which the two blocks are in equilibrium (i.e., not accelerating).

The mass M1 is 7.8 kg

Explanation:

Block M1 is hanging on the string while block M2 is on the frictionless ramp.

We have to write the equations of motion for the two blocks.

- For M1, the only two forces acting on it are the force of gravity M_1 g (downward) and the tension in the string T (upward). So we can write

M_1 g - T = M_1 a

where

M_1 is the mass of the block

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a is the acceleration of the system

- For M2, the only two forces acting on it are the tension in the string T (acting up along the ramp) and the component of the gravity acting down along the ramp, M_2 g sin \theta. So the equation of motion is

T-M_2 g sin \theta = M_2 a

where

M_2 = 13.5 kg is the mass of the 2nd block

\theta=35.5^{\circ} is the angle of the ramp

In order for the two blocks to be in equilibrium, the acceleration must be zero:

a=0

So the two equations become:

M_1 g - T=0\\T-M_2 g sin \theta = 0

Isolating T from the 1st equation,

T=M_1 g

And substituting into the 2nd equation, we can find the value of the mass M_1:

M_1 g - M_2 g sin \theta = 0\\M_1 = M_2 sin \theta = (13.5)(sin 35.5^{\circ})=7.8 kg

A small office experiences frequent power outages. Users at the location reports that after rebooting their Windows workstations
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

Usually office's networks works using the TCP/IP protocol, this mean that each workstation has an assigned IP. This IP are the directions gave to each computer on the network,

This IP are usually asigned by a DHCP Server. Servers every time a new device connect to the Network, assigns to it an IP, this way every Computer will know how to send or request information from that Computer.

In the TCP/IP protocol is not posibble for two computer to have the same IP. This causes what it call IP Conflict, IP Conflict make imposible the comunications between those devices and the Network.

On Power outages all the Computer are turn off, because of this they disconnect from the Network and need to requests IP one more time to gain comunication,

We this in mind, we can predict that frequent power outages can cause for all the Computer in the Network to request new IPs very frequently this will cause IP Conflict in several units, disconnecting them from the network and making them no longer able to find files on the network. To fix this, what can be done it to establish Static IP to every workstation, this way we they request a new IP, the DHCP Serve will assign them the same IP form every session.

This way, the IP Conficlt can end. Another option is to make the DHCP to assign new IP to every unit one more time, eliminating the machines with same IP.

What causes atoms to bond together<br> ?!?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

electrostatic attraction

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms when there's an electrostatic attraction between them. This attraction results from the properties and characteristics of the atoms' outermost electrons, which are known as valence electrons.
