Before we could discuss this in any specific detail, I think we would have to
know the angles.  A generic discussion without actual numbers for the angles
would be just plain too confusing.

The general approach is that the vertical components of both tensions
add up to 20N, and the horizontal components are equal but in opposite
directions.  That's the only way that the mass is hanging motionless.

You have to find the horizontal and vertical components of the tensions
by using the angles and maybe the lengths of the ropes.

Can anyone help me with this please​
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1270 J

Explanation:

Recall that the mechanical energy of a system is the addition of the Potential energy and the Kinetic energy at any given time.

As the skier descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, but the total mechanical energy should remain the same.

We see that it is not the case, so that difference is what has gone into thermal energy;  19500 J - 18230 J = 1270 J

Musya8 [376]

Answer: 3.12 * 10^12 F ( 3.12 pF)

Explanation: To calculate this capacitor of two hollow, coaxial, iron cylinders, we have to determine the potental differente between them and afeter that to use C=Q/ΔV

The electric field in th eregion rinner<r<router

By using the Gaussian law

∫E*ds=Q inside/εo

E*2*π*rinner^2*L= Q /εo

E=Q/(2*π*εo*r^2)

[Vab]=\int\limits^a_b {E} \, dr

where a and b are the inner and outer radii.

Then we have:

ΔV= 2*k*(Q/L)* ln (b/a)

replacing the values and using that C=Q/ΔV

we have:

C= L/(2*k*ln(b/a)=0.17/(2*9*10^9*3.023)=3.12 pF
