Answer:

The force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of oil, γ = 0.75

Volumetric flow rate, V 3.2 Ft³/s = 0.0906 m³/s

\gamma =\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}

where;

\rho_o is the density of oil

\rho_w is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

∴density of oil (\rho_o) = γ × density of water(\rho_w)

                               = 0.75 × 1000 kg/m³

                                = 750kg/m³

Buoyant Force = ρVg

                         = 750 × 0.0906 × 9.8

                         = 665.91 N ↑

This force acts upward or opposite gravitational force.

Therefore, the force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Force → F = ( − 8.0 N ) ˆ i + ( 6.0 N ) ˆ j acts on a particle with position vector → r = ( 3.0 m ) ˆ i + ( 4.0 m ) ˆ j . What a
andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force, F=(-8\ N)i+(6\ N)j

Position vector, r=(3i+4j)\ m

(a) The torque on the particle about the origin is given by :

\tau=F\times r\\\\\tau=(-8i+6j)\times (3i+4j)\\\\\tau=(-50k)\ N-m

(b) To find the angle between r and F use dot product formula as :

F{\cdot} r=|F||r|\ \cos\theta\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\cdot} r}{|F| |r|}\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{(-8i+6j){\cdot} (3i+4j)}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+24}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=0\\\\\theta=90^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
