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

Suppose we hang a heavy ball with a mass 13 kg (so the weight is ) from a steel wire 3.9 m long that is 3.1 mm in diameter (radi
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

1.635×10^-3m

Explanation:

Young modulus is the ratio of the tensile stress of a material to its tensile strain.

Young modulus = Tensile stress/tensile strain

Tensile stress = Force/Area

Given force = 130N

Area = Πr² = Π×(1.55×10^-3)²

Area = 4.87×10^-6m²

Tensile stress = 130/4.87×10^-6 = 8.39×10^7N/m²

Tensile strain = extension/original length

Tensile strain = e/3.9

Substituting in the young modulus formula given young modulus to be 2×10¹¹N/m²

2×10¹¹N/m² = 8.39×10^7/{e/3.9)}

2×10¹¹ = (8.39×10^7×3.9)/e

2×10¹¹e = 3.27×10^8

e = 3.27×10^8/2×10¹¹

e = 1.635×10^-3m

The stretch of the steel wire will be

1.635×10^-3m

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c
frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

How fast is a 180 kg motorcycle traveling if it has 36000 J of kinetic energy??
leva [86]

Answer:

20 ms⁻¹

360 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object solely due to its motion.

You can get the K.E. of an object using the equation,

K.E. =  (1/2)mv² where all terms in usual meaning

So you get,

K.E. = 36000 =  (1/2)×180×v²

v = 20 ms⁻¹

Also,

K.E. =  (1/2)×80×3² = 360 J
