A spiral staircase winds up to the top of a tower in an old castle. To measure the height of the tower, a rope is attached to th

e top of the tower and hung down the center of the staircase. However, nothing is available with which to measure the length of the rope. Therefore, at the bottom of the rope a small object is attached so as to form a simple pendulum that just clears the floor. The period of the pendulum is measured to be 5.94 s. What is the height of the tower?

Answer:

8.76762 m

Explanation:

T = Time period = 5.94 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of pendulum = Height of tower

Time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{g}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{5.94^2\times 9.81}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=8.76762\ m

The height of the tower is 8.76762 m

A wire 3.22 m long and 7.32 mm in diameter has a resistance of 11.9 mΩ. A potential difference of 33.7 V is applied between the
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(a) Current is 2831.93 A

(b) 8.40A/m^2

(c) \rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m

Explanation:

Length of wire l = 3.22 m

Diameter of wire d = 7.32 mm = 0.00732 m

Cross sectional area of wire

A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00366^2=4.20\times 10^{-5}m^2

Resistance R=11.9mohm=11.9\times 10^{-3}ohm

Potential difference V = 33.7 volt

(A) current is equal to

i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{33.7}{11.9\times 10^{-3}}=2831.93A

(B) Current density is equal to

J=\frac{i}{A}

J=\frac{2831.93}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}=8.40A/m^2

(c) Resistance is equal to

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

11.9\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\rho \times 3.22}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}

\rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m
