How do theories differ from Laws and Principles?

A scientific law is the simple mathematical expression of the relationship involved. A principle is the same relationship expressed in words. A theory is the explanation of the facts that make up the relationship.

The 64.5-kg climber in is supported in the “chimney” by the friction forces exerted on his shoes and back. The static coefficien
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The minimum force the climber must exert is about 439N.

Explanation:

We use the relationship between friction and normal force to answer this question:

F_{friction} = \mu_{static} \cdot F_{normal}\implies F_{normal}=\frac{F_{friction}}{\mu_{static}}

We are given the static coefficients of friction but need to determine the friction force. To do that we consider the totality of forces acting on this hapless gentleman stuck in a chimney. There is the gravity acting downward (+), then there are two friction forces acting upward (-), namely through his shoes and his back. The horizontal force exerted by the climber on both walls of the chimney is the same and is met with equally opposing normal force. Since the climber is not falling the net force in the vertical direction is zero:

F_{net} = 0 = F_g - F_{shoes}-F_{back}= mg - \mu_{shoes}F_{norm}-\mu_{back}F_{norm}\\F_{norm}=\frac{mg}{\mu_{shoes}+\mu_{back}}=\frac{64.5kg\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{0.8+0.64}\approx 438.96N\\

The normal force in this equilibrium is about 439N and  because we are told that the static friction forces are both at their maximum, this value is at the same time the <em>minimum</em> force needed for the climber to avoid starting slipping down the chimney.

Determine the ratio of the flow rate through capillary tubes A and B (that is, Qa/Qb).
Oliga [24]

To solve this problem we can use the concepts related to the change of flow of a fluid within a tube, which is without a rubuleous movement and therefore has a laminar fluid.

It is sometimes called Poiseuille’s law for laminar flow, or simply Poiseuille’s law.

The mathematical equation that expresses this concept is

\dot{Q} = \frac{\pi r^4 (P_2-P_1)}{8\eta L}

Where

P = Pressure at each point

r = Radius

\eta = Viscosity

l = Length

Of all these variables we have so much that the change in pressure and viscosity remains constant so the ratio between the two flows would be

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{r_A^4}{r_B^4}\frac{L_B}{L_A}

From the problem two terms are given

R_A = \frac{R_B}{2}

L_A = 2L_B

Replacing we have to

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{r_A^4}{r_B^4}\frac{L_B}{L_A}

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{r_B^4}{16*r_B^4}\frac{L_B}{2*L_B}

\frac{\dot{Q_A}}{\dot{Q_B}} = \frac{1}{32}

Therefore the ratio of the flow rate through capillary tubes A and B is 1/32

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Given the point of maximun electric power of the hair dryer 1500 (w); The circuit breaker won´t trip at all

Explanation:

The most simplyfied  relation between power, voltage and current is:

Electric power (in watts) =Voltage (in volts) * current (in ampers)

In the case of P= 1500 (w) and V= 120 (v) we have:

I = 1500/120 (a)    = 12,65 (a)

This value  is far away of 20 (a) (the nominal trip current
