A 800 kg safe is 2.1 m above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compresses
stellarik [79]

Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

Derive the equation of motion of the block of mass m1 in terms of its displacement x. The friction between the block and the sur
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

the equivalent mass : m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}

the equation of the motion of the block of mass m_1 in terms of its displacement is = (m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)

Explanation:

Let use m₁ to represent the mass of the block and m₂ to represent the mass of the cylinder

The radius of the cylinder  be = R

The distance between the center of the pulley to center of the block to be = x

Also, the angles of inclinations of the cylinder and the block with respect to the ground to be \phi and \beta respectively.

The velocity of the block to be = v

The equivalent mass of the system = m_e

In the terms of the equivalent mass, the kinetic energy of the system can be written as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m_ev^2       --------------- equation (1)

The angular velocity of the cylinder = \omega  :  &

The inertia of the cylinder about its center to be = I

The angular velocity of the cylinder can be written as:

v = \omega R

\omega =\frac{v}{R}

The kinetic energy of the system in terms of individual mass can be written as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

By replacing \omega with \frac{v}{R} ; we have:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+ m_2+ \frac{I}{R} )v^2   ------------------ equation (2)

Equating both equation (1) and (2); we have:

m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}

Therefore, the equivalent mass : m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}    which is read as;

The equivalent mass is equal to the mass of the block plus the mass of the cylinder plus the inertia by  the square of the radius.

The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the block is as follows:

f_{block }=m_1gsin \beta

Also; The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the cylinder is as follows:

f_{cylinder} = m_2gsin \phi

Equating the above both equations; we have the equation of motion of the  equivalent system to be

m_e \bar x = f_{cylinder}-f_{block}

which can be written as follows from the previous derivations

(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)

Finally; the equation of the motion of the block of mass m_1 in terms of its displacement is = (m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)

A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 6.0 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from th
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

N_{2}=20 turns

Explanation:

The given case is a step down transformer as we need to reduce 120 V to 6 V.

number of turns on primary coil N_{P}= 400

current delivered by  secondary coil  I_{S}= 500 mA

output voltage = 6 V (rms)

we know that

I_{p}=\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}\times I_{s}}

putting values we get

I_{p}=\frac{6}{120\times 0.5}

I_{p}= 0.1 A

to calculate number of turns in secondary

\frac{N_{2}}{400} =\frac{6}{120}

therefore, N_{2}=20 turns
