Answer:
The value of radiation pressure is Pa
Explanation:
Given:
Intensity
Area of piece
From the formula of radiation pressure in terms of intensity,
Where radiation pressure,
speed of light
We know value of speed of light,
Put all values in above equation,
Pa
Therefore, the value of radiation pressure is Pa
Answer:
The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N
Explanation:
The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg
The length of the rope, l = 10 m
The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m
Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope
Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g
∴ W = m × g
The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²
∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N
The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;
θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°
At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, = 0
The vertical component of the tension, , in each half of the rope is given as follows;
= T × sin(θ)
∴ = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)
Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;
588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0
∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N
-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N
The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.
