Answer:

The hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

Explanation:

Given;

liquid density, ρ = 810 kg/m³

side of the equilateral triangle, L = 8m

acceleration due to gravity, g =  9.8 m/s²

Hydrostatic force is given as;

H = ρgh

where;

h is the vertical height of the equilateral triangle

Draw a line to bisect upper end of the trough, to the vertex at the bottom, this line is the height of the equilateral triangle.

let the half side of the triangle = x

x = ⁸/₂ = 4m

The half section of the triangle forms a right angled triangle

h² = 8² - 4²

h² = 48

h = √48

h = 6.928m

F = ρgh

F = 810 x 9.8 x 6.928

F = 54994.464 N

Therefore, the hydrostatic force on one end of the trough is 54994.464 N

Question 10 of 10
Margaret [11]

Answer: D. 5.0(10)^{-38} J

Explanation:

The energy E of an electromagmetic wave is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s is the Planck constant

c=3(10)^{8} m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

Then hc=1.99 (10)^{-25}Jm

\lambda=4.0(10)^{12} m is the wavelength

Solving:

E=\frac{1.99 (10)^{-25}Jm}{4.0(10)^{12} m}

E=5.0(10)^{-38} J

How many excess electrons are on a ball with a charge of -1.4944 10-16 C?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

There are 934 excess electrons on the ball with charge -1.4944*10^(-16).

Step-by-Step Explanation:

A ball will usually be neutral and have no charge on it.

If it is negatively charged, it means there are excess electrons on it.

If we know the charge on the ball, we can count the excess no. of electrons.

We know that the charge on the ball = c = -1.4944*10^-16

Charge of one electron = e = 1.6*10^-19

Charge of n electrons on the ball = ne = c

⇒ n = c/e

n = (-1.4944*10^-16)/(1.6*10^-19)

n = 934 electrons

A 15 m uniform ladder weighing 500 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 60° angle with horizontal. (a) Find t
scoray [572]

Answer:

a)    F₁ = 267.3 N,   N₁ = 1300 N,  b)    μ = 0.324

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium condition, we have a reference system is the floor and the anticlockwise rotations as positive, in the adjoint we can see a diagram of the forces

           

let's use subscript 1 for the ladder and 2 for the firefighter

            ∑ τ = 0

          -W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ + N₁ y = 0

           N₁ = \frac{W_1 x_1 + W_2 x_2}{y}          (1)

the center of mass of the ladder is at its geometric center,

d = L / 2 = 15/2 = 7.5 m

         cos 60 = x₁ / d₁

         x₁ = d₁ cos 60

         x₁ = 7.5 cos 60

         x₁ = 3.75 m

for the firefighter d₂ = 4 m

         cos 60 = x₂ / d₂

         x₂ = d₂ cos 60

          x₂ = 4 cos 60 = 2 m

for the fulcrum d₃ = 15 m

         sin 60 = y / d₃

         y = d₃ sin 60

         y = 15 sin 60

         y = 13 m

we look for the Normal by substituting in equation 1

         N₂ = \frac{500 \ 3.75 \ + 800 \ 2}{13}

         N₂ = 267.3 N

now let's use the translational equilibrium relations

 X axis

           F₁ - N₂ = 0

           F₁ = N₂

           F₁ = 267.3 N

Axis y

          N₁ - W₁ -W₂ = 0

          N₁ = W₁ + W₂

          N₁ = 500 + 800

          N₁ = 1300 N

b) for this case change the firefighter's distance d₂ = 9 m

          x₂ = 9 cos 60

          x₂ = 4.5 m

we substitute in 1

          N₂ = \frac{500 \ 3.75 \ + 800 \ 4.5}{13}  

          N₂ = 421.15 N

of the translational equilibrium equation on the x-axis

          fr = F₁ = N₂

          fr = 421.15 N

friction force has the expression

          fr = μ N

in this case the reaction of the Earth to the support of the ladder is N1 = 1300N

          μ = fr / N₁

          μ = 421.15 / 1300

          μ = 0.324
