To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to deflection in a metal.

By definition the deflection is given by the equation

\Delta x = \frac{1}{s}(\frac{F_w}{A}L_o)

Where

F_w = Force

A =Area

s = shear modulus

L_o= Original length

To calculate the area we must obtain the radius generated by the deflection, that is to say

r = \frac{D}{2}

Where,

D = Diameter

r = Radius of the aluminum flagpole

r = \frac{4*10^{-2}}{2}

r = 2*10^{-2}m

Therefore the cross sectional area of the pole is given as

A=\pi r^2

A = \pi * 2*10^{-2}

A=1.257*10^{-3}m^2

Replacing our values at the previous equation we have that

\Delta x = \frac{1}{s}(\frac{F_w}{A}L_o)

\Delta x = \frac{1}{25*10^9}(\frac{900}{1.257*10^{-3}}20)

\Delta x = 0.57mm

Therefore the deflection in the pole is 0.57mm

A cannon is fired horizontally at 243 m/s off of a 62 meter tall, shear vertical cliff. How far in meters from the base of the c
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

865.08 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s

Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m

Horizontal distance (s) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the cannon to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) of the cliff = 62 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

62 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

62 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 62/4.9

Take the square root of both side.

t = √(62/4.9)

t = 3.56 s

Finally, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the cannon ball as shown below:

Initial velocity (u) = 243 m/s

Time (t) = 3.56 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 243 × 3.56 s

s = 865.08 m

Thus, the cannon ball will impact the ground 865.08 m from the base of the cliff.

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 12 ft/s. at what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
Viefleur [7K]
<span>Answer: So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z. So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get 2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt) So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8 substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3. Part 2 sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt) So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or Ď€/6 radians. Substitute to get cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3) âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100 da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>

How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold  into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.
