the spring will be compressed by 0.3072 m

Explanation:

acceleration of elevator=3 m/s²

mass of student= 60 Kg

spring constant=2.5 x 10³ N/m

the force on the student is given by F = m ( g +a)

F=60 (9.8+3)

F=768 N

now the formula for spring force is given by

F= k x

768= 2.5 x 10³ (x)

x=0.3072 m

Answer: 12.0 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let \alpha be the angular acceleration of the end of the rod

Taking torque about the link, we have:

\tau = W \times OM\\ or\\ \tau = mg\times \left(\dfrac{L}{2}\right)\sin 55^\circ ....(i)

Torque is also given in terms of moment of inertia of the rod and its angular acceleration i.e.

\tau = I_{rod}\ \alpha......(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii) we have:

mg\times \left(\frac{L}{2}\right)\sin 55^\circ = \left(\frac{mL^2}{3}\right)\alpha\ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because I_{rod} = \dfrac{mL^2}{3}) \\ \\ \alpha = \left(\frac{3g}{2L}\right)\sin 55^\circ\\ \\ \alpha = \left(\frac{3\times 9.8}{2\times 2.4}\right)\sin 55^\circ\\ \\ \boxed{\alpha = 5.02\ rad/s^2} }

The acceleration of the end of the rod farthest from the link is given by:

a = L\alpha\\ \\ a = (2.4\ m)(5.02\ rad/s^2)\\ \\ \boxed{a = 12.0\ m/s^2}

A Carnot engine absorbs 1, 3 MJ of heat at 427 degree C and exhausts heat to a reservoir at 90 degree C. How much work does it d
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Carnot cycle efficiency = work done/heat supplied = (Th - Tc)/Th where, Th is temperature of hot reservoir and Tc is temperature of cold reservoir. we have given the values as Heat supplied = 1.3 MJ or 1300 KJ, Th = 427 degree C and Tc = 90 degree C. converting degree Celsius to kelvin temperatures, Th = 427 + 273 = 700 K Tc = 90 +273 = 363 solving equations, (700 - 363)/700 = work done / 1300 work done = 625.86 KJ i.e. 0.626 MJ work is done .</span>
