A wire is hung between two towers and has a length of 208 m. A current of 154 A exists in the wire, and the potential difference

between the ends of the wire is 0.245 V. The density of the wire material is 3610 kg/m3 and its resistivity is 4.23 x 10-8Ω·m. Find the mass of the wire.

Answer:

Mass = 4152kg

Explanation:

Given

L = 208m

I = 154A

V = 0.245V

Density = 3610 kg/m3

ρ = 4.23 x 10-8Ω·m = resistivity of wire

Resistance R = ρL/ A

R = voltage / current = V/I = 0.245/154 = 1.59×10-³ohms

1.59×10-³ = 4.23 x 10-⁸×208/A

Rearranging,

A = 4.23 x 10-⁸×208/1.59×10-³

A = 5.53×10-³m²

Mass = density × volume

Volume = L×A = 208×5.53×10-³m³= 1.15m³

Mass = 3610×1.15 = 4152kg

Given Information:

Length of wire = L = 208 m

Current in wire = I = 154 A

Voltage across wire = V = 0.245 V

Resistivity of wire= ρ = 4.23x10⁻⁸ Ω.m

Density of wire = d = 3610 kg/m³

Required Information:

Mass of wire = m = ?

Answer:

Mass of wire = 4152.36 kg

Explanation:

The mass of wire can be found using

m = dAL

where d is the density of wire, A is the area of wire and L is the length of wire.

First we need to find area A, we know that resistivity of wire is given by

ρ = RA/L

A = ρL/R

First we need to find R, we know know that resistance is given by

R = V/I

R = 0.245/154

R = 0.00159 Ω

So the area becomes,

A = ρL/R

A = (4.23x10⁻⁸*208)/0.00159

A = 0.00553 m²

Finally, the mass of wire is

m = dAL

m = 3610*0.00553*208

m = 4152.36 kg

Therefore, the mass of wire is 4152.36 kg

Object 1 has a momentum of 10 kg m/s and Object 2 has a momentum of 25 kg m/s. Will it be easier to change the direction of move
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

I think its object 1

Explanation:

Because the object that has more weight has a greater momentum and the lightest object that has a less momentum will be easier to change because its lighter.

After clearing the bar on a high jump, you land softly on a giant mattress. landing on a mattress is more comfortable than landi
madam [21]

Answer:

The right approach is Option b (the force..................exert on you).

Explanation:

  • Even before you fall on something like a soft object, users eventually slow to a halt. You are still giving away all the downward momentum, but progressively although with small powers, you are doing so.  
  • Although you can get injured by massive powers, this gradual displacement is a positive thing. And that is why you have a mattress you would like to settle on.  

The other options given are not connected to the situation described. So, the solution here was the right one.
