A "swing" ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung in a circle by 19.6 m cables attached to a vertical rotating pole

, as the drawing shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg. (a) Determine the tension in the cable attached to the chair. (b) Find the speed of the chair.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the cable is 19.6 m, l = 19.6 m

Let us assume that the angle with vertical rotating pole is 62.5 degrees.

The total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg.

(a) Let T is the tension in the cable attached to the chair. So,

$T\cos\theta=mg\\\\T=\dfrac{mg}{\cos\theta}\\\\T=\dfrac{250\times 9.8}{\cos(62.5)}\\\\T=5305.91\ N$

(b) The centripetal acceleration is balanced by :

$\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g\tan\theta\\\\v=\sqrt{Rg\tan\theta} \\\\v=\sqrt{l\sin\theta g\tan\theta}\\\\v=\sqrt{19.6\times \sin(62.5)9.8\times \tan(62.5)}\\\\v=18.09\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

radius, R = 19.6 m

mass, m = 250 kg

(a) The tension in the cable is T.

T = mg

T = 250 x 9.8

T = 2450 N

(b) Let v is the speed of the chair.

the tension force is balanced by the centripetal force.

T = mv²/r

2450 = 250 x v²/19.6

v² = 192.08

v = 13.86 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 13.86 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

1. $\frac{1}{3}$ x $\frac{6}{7}$ = $\frac{6}{21}$

= $\frac{2}{7}$

b. $\frac{6}{8}$ + $\frac{4}{9}$ = $\frac{24}{72}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$

c. $\frac{10}{15}$ x $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{30}{60}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

d. $\frac{7}{10}$ of $\frac{5}{10}$ = $\frac{7}{10}$ x $\frac{5}{10}$

= $\frac{35}{100}$

= $\frac{7}{20}$

e. $\frac{3}{8}$ of $\frac{4}{6}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$ x $\frac{4}{6}$

= $\frac{12}{48}$

= $\frac{1}{4}$

f. $\frac{7}{12}$ of $\frac{9}{14}$ = $\frac{7}{12}$ x $\frac{9}{14}$

= $\frac{63}{168}$

= $\frac{3}{8}$

2. $\frac{22}{6}$ x $\frac{3}{11}$ = $\frac{66}{66}$

= 1

b. $\frac{15}{6}$ x $\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{60}{30}$

= 2

c. $\frac{25}{8}$ x $\frac{4}{10}$ = $\frac{100}{80}$

= $\frac{5}{4}$

d. $\frac{33}{12}$ x $\frac{4}{15}$ = $\frac{132}{180}$

= $\frac{11}{15}$

Energy is transferred through a solid

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of a substance, without moving the particles to a new location. Usually occurs in solids. When heat is supplied to one end, molecules at that end start to move more quickly.

An accelerometer has a damping ratio of 0.5 and a natural frequency of 18,000 Hz. It is used to sense the relative displacement

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

A) i) Dynamic error ≈ 3.1%

ii) phase shift ≈ -12°

B) 79971.89 rad/s

Explanation:

Given data :

Damping ratio = 0.5

natural frequency = 18,000 Hz

<u>a) Calculate the dynamic error and phase shift in accelerometer output at an impart vibration of 4500 Hz</u>

i) Dynamic error

This can be calculated using magnitude ratio formula attached below is the solution

dynamic error ≈ 3.1%

ii) phase shift

This phase shift can be calculated using frequency dependent phase shift formula

phase shift ≈ -12°

<u>B) Determine resonance frequency </u>

Wr = 2 $\pi$ ( 18000 $\sqrt{0.5}$ ) = 79971.89 rad/s

C) The maximum magnitude ratio that the system can achieve
