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

Two protons, starting several meters apart, are aimed directly at each other with speeds of 2.00 * 105 m>s, measured relative
victus00 [196]

Explanation:

Since, the two protons are at the initial state of point a and point b. Hence, total mechanical energy at point a and point b is as follows.

           U_{a} + K_{a} = U_{b} + K_{b}

or,           K_{a} = U_{b}  

where,   K_{a} = kinetic energy of two protons

So,      2(\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}_{a}) = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{|e|^{2}}{r_{b}}

       r_{b} = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{e^{2}}{mV^{2}_{a}}

Putting the given values into the above formula we will calculate the value of r_{b} as follows.

      r_{b} = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{e^{2}}{mV^{2}_{a}}

                = (9.0 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} \frac{(1.602 \times 10^{-19}^{2} C}{1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg \times 2 \times 10^{5}}

                = 3.45 \times 10^{-12} m

Now, we will calculate the maximum electric field as follows.

      F = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{|e|^{2}}{r^{2}_{b}}

         = 9.0 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} \frac{(1.602 \times 10^{-19}C)^{2}}{3.45 \times 10^{-12}}

         = 0.194 \times 10^{-4} N

Therefore, we can conclude that the maximum electric force that these protons will exert on each other is 0.194 \times 10^{-4} N.

What is carried by a wave?
Nata [24]
Waves carry energy from one place to another. Because waves carry energy, some waves are used for communication, eg radio and television waves and mobile telephone signals. ... Some types of waves need to be transmitted through matter, either a solid, liquid or a gas. For example, water waves have to travel in water.

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the diver = 77kg

Height  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the motion equations.

            v²  = u² + 2gh

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

             v² = 0² + (2 x 9.8 x 8.18)

             v² = 160.3

             v = 12.7m/s
