If four vertical cables are holding up a rectangular, 100- Newton sign, how much tension is on each cable?

2 answers:

6 0

We may balance the forces in order to calculate the tension.
We know that there are no horizontal forces being applied. Next, the vertical forces are:
Weight (W) which is acting downwards
Tension in each wire (T) which is acting upwards
Because the sign is stationary, the downward force must equal the upward force. So we may write:
Weight = 4 * tension
W = 4T

100 = 4T
T = 25 N

The tension in each wire is 25 Newtons

You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8,7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70%

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Time = 12.43 years

Mass = 4.71.43kg

Explanation:

Given the following :

Distance = 8.7 light years

Speed = 70% the speed of light

Diameter = 6m

Lengtg = 25m

Density = 1 hydrogen atom/m^3

Mass of proton(Me) = 1.673x 10^-27

A.) time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius :

From the relation: Speed = (distance / time)

Time = distance / speed

Time = (70/100) × 1 light year

Distance = 8.7 light years

Time = 8.7 / 0.7 = 12.4285 years

Time = 12.43 years

B.) Mass of inter-stellar gas that collides with the spaceship can be calcuted by finding the product of the surface area of the cylindrical space ship and the mass of proton.

That is ;

surface area * mass of proton

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + πr^2×Me

= 2πrh + Me×πr^2)

=( 2 × 22/7 × 3 × 25) + (22/7 × 3^2 × 1.673 * 10^-27)

= 2× 235.714 + 28.285) × 1.673 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 47.31 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 4.73 × 10^-26

= 4.71.43kg approximately

A professor drives off with his car (mass 870 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.47 kg) off the roof. The coefficien

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: $6.86 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

mas of car=870 kg

coffee mug mass=0.47 kg

coefficient of static friction between mug and roof $\mu _s= 0.7$

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.5$

maximum car acceleration is $\mu \times g$

here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect

$a_{max}=0.7\times 9.8=6.86 m/s^2$
