A rope passes over a fixed sheave with both ends hanging straight down. The coefficient of friction between the rope and sheave

is 0.4. What is the largest ratio of tensile forces between the two ends of the rope before the rope starts to slide over the sheave?

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction \mu =0.4

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of d\theta

Normal Force=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}

N=T\cdot d\theta

Friction f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction

f=\mu \cdot N

and T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta

dT=\mu Td\theta

\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta

\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }

\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51

A system of releases 125kJ of heat while 104kJ of work is done in the system. Calcilate the change om imternal energy (in kJ)
artcher [175]

Answer:

DU = 21 KJ

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of heat = 125 KJ

Work = 104 KJ

To find the change in internal energy;

Mathematically, the change in internal energy of a system is given by the formula;

DU = Q - W

Where;

DU is the change in internal energy.

Q is the quantity of energy.

W is the work done.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

DU = 125 - 104

DU = 21 KJ

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 16 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?
zzz [600]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n=9.98\times 10^{19}

Explanation:

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 16 C to Earth, q = 16 C

We need to find the number of electrons that transferred. Let there are n electrons transferred. It is given by using quantization of electric charge as :

q = ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

e is elemental charge

n=\dfrac{16}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}

n=9.98\times 10^{19}

So, there are 9.98\times 10^{19} electrons that gets transferred. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 60 cm diameter wheel accelerates from rest at a rate of 7 rad/s2. After the wheel has undergone 14 rotations, what is the radi
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a=368.97\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular velocity, \omega=0

Acceleration of the wheel, \alpha =7\ rad/s^2

Rotation, \theta=14\ rotation=14\times 2\pi =87.96\ rad

Let t is the time. Using second equation of kinematics can be calculated using time.

\theta=\omega_it+\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\theta}{\alpha }} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 87.96}{7}} \\\\t=5.01\ s

Let \omega_f is the final angular velocity and a is the radial component of acceleration.

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\\\omega_f=0+7\times 5.01\\\\\omega_f=35.07\ rad/s

Radial component of acceleration,

a=\omega_f^2r\\\\a=(35.07)^2\times 0.3\\\\a=368.97\ m/s^2

So, the required acceleration on the edge of the wheel is 368.97\ m/s^2.

Why do all planets rotate around the sun in the ssame direction
Nutka1998 [239]
This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side
