A 150 kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. Calculate the magn
itude of the tension in the wire if the angle between the cable and the horizontal is θ = 47°.
1 answer:
Answer:
T = 2010 N
Explanation:
m = mass of the uniform beam = 150 kg
Force of gravity acting on the beam at its center is given as
W = mg
W = 150 x 9.8
W = 1470 N
T = Tension force in the wire
θ = angle made by the wire with the horizontal = 47° deg
L = length of the beam
From the figure,
AC = L
BC = L/2
From the figure, using equilibrium of torque about point C
T (AC) Sin47 = W (BC)
T L Sin47 = W (L/2)
T Sin47 = W/2
T Sin47 = 1470
T = 2010 N

Answer:
4.6834625323 m/s
0 m/s
Explanation:
s = Displacement
t = Time
Velocity is given by
The bird's average velocity for the return flight is 4.6834625323 m/s
In the whole episode the bird went 5220 km away from its nest and came back. This means the displacement is zero.
Hence, the average velocity for the whole episode is 0 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
- thickness of the base of the kettle,
- radius of the base of the kettle,
- temperature of the top surface of the kettle base,
- rate of heat transfer through the kettle to boil water,
- We have the latent heat vaporization of water,
- and thermal conductivity of aluminium,
<u>So, the heat rate:</u>
<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction we have:</u>
where:
area of the surface through which conduction occurs
temperature of the bottom surface
is the temperature of the bottom of the base surface of the kettle.
