Answer:

dimensions of the drag coefficient is [M^0 L^0 T^0]

Drag coefficient is a dimensionless quantity

Explanation:

force is given byF=\frac{C_{D}  \rho V^2 A}{2}

we get expression for drag coefficient C_{D} =\frac{2F}{\rho V^2 A}

By substituting the dimensions  of the F,V,A and density , we get

C_{D} =\frac{[F]}{[\rho ][V]^2[A]} \\C_{D} =\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[ML^{-3} ][L T^{-1}]^2[L^2]} \\C_{D} =\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[ML^{-3} ][L^2 T^{-2}][L^2]} \\C_{D} =\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[MLT^{-2}]}\\C_{D}=[M^0 L^0 T^0]

Drag coefficient is a dimensionless

Explanation:

For a circular orbit v= \sqrt{\frac{G.m}{r} } with G = 6.6742 × 10^{-11}

Given m = 6.42 x 10^23 kg and  r=9.38 x 10^6 m

=> v = 2137.3 m/s

I hope this is the correct way to solve

belka [17]

Answer:

a. The moment of the 4 N force is 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force is 12 N·m anticlockwise

Explanation:

In the figure, we have;

The distance from the point 'O', to the 6 N force = 2 m

The position of the 6 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the left of 'O'

The distance from the point 'O', to the 4 N force = 4 m

The position of the 4 N force relative to the point 'O' = To the right of 'O'

a. The moment of a force about a point, M = The force, F × The perpendicular distance of the force from the point

a. The moment of the 4 N force = 4 N × 4 m = 16 N·m clockwise

b. The moment of the 6 N force = 6 N × 2 m = 12 N·m anticlockwise.

What are the rules for setting up an integral of rotation?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Setting up an integral of rotation is used as a method of of calculating the volume of a 3D object formed by a rotated area of a 2D space. Finding the volume is similar to finding the area, but there is one additional component of rotating the area around a line of symmetry.

<span>First the solid of revolution should be defined. The general  function is y=f(x), on an interval [a,b].</span>

Then the curve is rotated about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. That is the integral of the function.

<span>It all depends of the function f(x), which must be known in order to calculate  the integral.</span>
