Answer:

a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given,

Width of rectangular tank, b = 1 m

Length of the tank, l = 2 m

height of the tank, d = 1.5 m

Depth of gasoline on the tank, h = 1 m

\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-\dfrac{1.5-1}{1}

\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-0.5

The differential form with the acceleration

\dfrac{dz}{dy}=\dfrac{-a_y}{a_z + g}

-0.5=-\dfrac{a_y}{a_z + g}

acceleration in z-direction = 0 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

a_y is the horizontal acceleration of the gasoline.

0.5=\dfrac{a_y}{0 + 9.8}

a_y = 9.8\times 0.5

a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2

Hence, Horizontal acceleration of the gasoline before gasoline would spill is equal to 4.9 m/s²

Answer:

 x =  0.176 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will take the condition of rotational equilibrium, where the reference system is located on the far left and the wire on the far right. We assume that counterclockwise turns are positive.

Let's use trigonometry to decompose the tension

      sin 60 = T_{y} / T

      T_{y} = T sin 60

       cos 60 = Tₓ / T

      Tₓ = T cos 60

we apply the equation

       ∑ τ = 0

       -W L / 2 - w x + T_{y} L = 0

 

the length of the bar is L = 6m

           -Mg 6/2 - m g x + T sin 60 6 = 0

             x = (6 T sin 60 - 3 M g) / mg

let's calculate

let's use the maximum tension that resists the cable T = 900 N

             x = (6 900 sin 60 - 3 200 9.8) / (700 9.8)

             x = (4676 - 5880) / 6860

             x = - 0.176 m

Therefore the block can be up to 0.176m to keep the system in balance.

What is the theoretical volume of 10mL of an ideal gas at absolute zero?
irinina [24]
PV=nRT
(P)(.010)=(n)(.08201)(0)
(v1/t1)=(v2/t2)
(.010/t1)=(v2/0)
