At noon, ship A is 50 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 22 knots and ship B is sailing north at 23 kn

ots. How fast (in knots) is the distance between the ships changing at 3 PM? (Note: 1 knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour.)

Answer:

30.66 knots

Explanation:

Distance of ship A from B at noon = 50 NM

\frac{da}{dt} = Velocity of ship A = 22 knots = 22 NM/h

\frac{db}{dt} = Velocity of ship B = 23 knots = 23 NM/h

Distance travelled by ship A from noon to 3 PM = 22×3 = 66 NM

a = Total distance travelled by ship A = 50+66 = 116 NM

b = Total distance travelled by ship B till 3 PM = 23×3 = 69 NM

c = Distance between Ship A and B at 3 PM = √(116²+69²) = 134.97 NM

a²+b² = c²            (Pythagoras theorem)

Now differentiating with respect to time

2a\frac{da}{dt}+2b\frac{db}{dt}=2c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}=c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{116\times 22+69\times 23}{134.97}=\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=30.66\ NM/h

∴ The velocity with which the distance is changing at 3 PM (3 hours later) is 30.66 knots

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

r=0.41m

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

\tau=r\times F

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

\tau=rFsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when sin\theta is equal to one, solving for r:

r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m
