Answer:
The current in the primary is 0.026 A
Explanation:
Using the formula
I1 = (V1/V2)*I2
we have
I1 = (6.4/120)*0.500
I1 = 0.026 A
By using Lami's theorem formula, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons
TENSION
- Tension is also a force having Newton as S.I unit.
- The tension in the wire will be the same.
This question can be solved by using either vector diagram or by using Lami's theorem.
The sum of two given angles = 42 + 42 = 84 degrees
The third angle = 180 - 84 = 96 degrees.
Below is the Lami's theorem formula

Where
= 42 + 90 = 132 degrees
Y = 96 degrees
W = 65 N
By using the formula, we have

T/sin 132 = 65/sin96
Cross multiply
T = 0.743 x 65.57
T = 48.56 N
Therefore, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons approximately.

Answer:
We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air
we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore
From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion
s = ut + 1/2 at²
since the acceleration of sound is 0:
s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²
s = ut <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>
Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know
1200 = 343 * t
t = 1200 / 343
t = 3.5 seconds (approx)
Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
