In a butcher shop, a horizontal steel bar of mass 4.94 kg and length 1.46 m is supported by two vertical wires attached to its e

nds. The butcher hangs a sausage of mass 2.49 kg from a hook that is at a distance of 0.10 m from the left end of the bar. What is the tension in the right wire?

Answer:

Tension in right wire = 25.9N

Explanation:

I have attached a free body diagram to depict this question.

From the diagram, i have labelled the tensions in the strings T1 and T2.

While i labelled the weight of the bar as Wb and weight of sausage as Ws.

Now, when solving a problem like this we want to first remember that the beam is static; meaning it is not moving. From simple physics, this means that the sum of the forces in the y direction equals zero (i.e. the total downward forces equal the total upward forces)

Thus, from the diagram, the upward forces are T1 and T2 while the downward forces are Ws and Wb.

Thus;

T1 + T2 = Wb + Ws

We know that mass of bar = 4.94kg. Thus, Weight of bar(Wb) = mg = 4.94 x 9.81 = 48.46N

Also, weight of sausage (Ws) = mg = 2.49 x 9.81 = 24.43N

Thus,

T1 + T2 = 48.46N + 24.43

T1 + T2 = 72.89N - - - - - (eq 1)

Now, let's take moments about the left end of the bar.

The maximum weight of the bar will act at the centre, so distance from the Wb to left end = 1.46/2 = 0.73m

So, moments about left end;

T2 x 1.46 = (Wb x 0.73) + (Ws x 0.1)

1.46T2 = (48.46 x 0.73) + (24.43 x 0.1)

1.46T2 = 35.373 + 2.443

1.46T2 = 37.816

T2 = 37.816/1.46 = 25.9N

The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is  127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Charge on electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, v=3\times 10^7\ m/s

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}

a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}

F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.
