<span>If there isn't any force then the normal contact force will be 


N=m*g=7.5*9.81=73.58N 

which is 73.58-23=50.58N less 

so, there the person must pull at 23 degree upward 

break down the tension in two components, vertical and horizontal. 


vertical tension= 50.58=T*sin23 

T=50.58/sin23=129.45N</span>

Answer:

Total tension in the person's arm = 58.82 N

Explanation:

Normal Contact Force: Normal contact force is the vertical  component of the contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object makes contact with.

As shown in fig.1 in the diagram on the attached file below.

The Normal contact force (R) = Tsinθ = The vertical component of T

Where T = Total tension in the person's arm (N), θ = angle of inclination to the horizontal.

∴ R = Tsinθ

T = R/sinθ where R= 23N, θ =23°

T = 23/sin23° = 23/0.391

T = 58.82 N

∴ Total tension in the person's arm = 58.52 N

An insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of H2O in the form of a saturated mixture of liquid and vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

change in entropy is 1.44 kJ/ K

Explanation:

from steam tables

At 150 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001053 m^3/kg

vg = 1.1594 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.4337 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.789 kJ/kg

initial specific volume is calculated as

v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

      = 0.001053 + 0.25(1.1594 - 0.001053)

v_1 = 0.20964  m^3/kg

s_1 = Sf + x(Sfg)

     = 1.4337 + 0.25 \times 5.7894 = 2.88 kJ/kg K

FROM STEAM Table

at 200 kPa

specific volume

Vf = 0.001061 m^3/kg

vg = 0.88578 m^3/kg

specific entropy values are

Sf = 1.5302 kJ/kg K

Sfg = 5.5698 kJ/kg

constant volume  sov_1 -  v_2  = 0.29064 m^3/kg

v_2 = v_1 = vf + x(vg - vf)

       =0.29064 = x_2(0.88578 - 0.001061)

x_2 = 0.327

s_2 = 1.5302 + 0.32 \times 5.5968 = 3.36035 kJ/kg K

Change in entropy \Delta s = m(s_2 - s_1)

              =3( 3.36035 - 2.88) =  1.44 kJ/kg

A 24 cm radius aluminum ball is immersed in water. Calculate the thrust you suffer and the force. Knowing that the density of al
Illusion [34]

Answer:

W =1562.53 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the aluminium ball, r = 24 cm = 0.24 m

The density of Aluminium, d=2698.4\ kg/m^3

We need to find the thrust and the force. The mass of the liquid displaced is given by :

m=dV

V is volume

Weight of the displaced liquid

W = mg

W=dVg

So,

W=dg\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\W=2698.4\times 10\times \dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times (0.24)^3\\\\W=1562.53\ N

So, the thrust and the force is 1562.53 N.

After a great many contacts with the charged ball, how is the charge on the rod arranged (when the charged ball is far away)?
faust18 [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.

Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.

Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oF. The air undergoes a process to a state where the
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The work and heat transfer for this process is = 270.588 kJ

Explanation:

Take properties of air from an ideal gas table.  R = 0.287 kJ/kg-k

The Pressure-Volume relation is <em>PV</em> = <em>C</em>

<em>T = C </em> for isothermal process

Calculating for the work done in isothermal process

<em>W</em> = <em>P</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]

   = <em>mRT</em>₁ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]      [∵<em>pV</em> = <em>mRT</em>]

   = (5) (0.287) (272.039) ln[\frac{2.0}{1.0}]

   = 270.588 kJ

Since the process is isothermal, Internal energy change is zero

Δ<em>U</em> = mc_{v}(T_{2}  - T_{1} ) = 0

From 1st law of thermodynamics

Q = Δ<em>U  </em>+ <em>W</em>

   = 0 + 270.588

   = 270.588 kJ
