Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

mass of Eric = 60 Kg

acceleration o f the elevator downward (a)= 1.7 m/s²

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

reading of scale = ?

when elevator is going down there will be a pseudo acting on Eric so, negative acceleration will be acting.

so, weight will be equal to

W_{apparent} - mg = - ma

W_{apparent} = m (g - a)

W_{apparent} = 60 ( 9.8 - 1.7 )

W_{apparent} = 60 x 8.1

W_{apparent} = 486 N

so, Weight will be approximately equal to 490 N

the correct answer is option B

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil
mrs_skeptik [129]
The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}   \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }
where 
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}
and since we know the constant of the spring:
k=39.5 N/m
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg

Un alambre de teléfono de 120m de largo y de 2.2mm de diámetro se estira debido a una fuerza de 380 N cual es el esfuerzo longit
sergij07 [2.7K]

Respuesta: verifique amablemente la explicación

Explicación:

Dado lo siguiente:

Longitud (L) del cable = 120 m

Diámetro (d) = 2,2 mm (2,2 / 1000) = 2,2 * 10 ^ -3 m

Fuerza (F) = 380 N

Esfuerzo longitudinal = Fuerza / Área

Área = πd² / 4 = (π * (2.2 * 10 ^ -3) ^ 2) / 4

Área = (3.142 * 4.84 * 10 ^ -6)

Área = 0.00000380132 m²

Estrés = Fuerza / Área

Estrés = 380 / 0.00000380132

Esfuerzo longitudinal = 99952128.12 = 9.9952128 * 10^7 Nm^-2

Deformación longitudinal: extensión / longitud

Extensión = 0.10 m

Longitud = 120 m

Deformación longitudinal = 0,1 m / 120 m

Deformación longitudinal = 0.0008333 = 8.33 × 10 ^ -4
