Answer:

Work done = 35467.278 J

Explanation:

Given:

Height of the cone = 4m

radius (r) of the cone = 1.2m

Density of the cone = 600kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Now,

The total mass of the cone (m) = Density of the cone × volume of the cone

Volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

thus,

volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi 1.2^2\times 4$ = 6.03 m³

therefore, the mass of the cone = 600 Kg/m³ × 6.03 m³ = 3619.11 kg

The center of mass for the cone lies at the $\frac{1}{4}$ times the total height

thus,

center of mass lies at, h' = $\frac{1}{4}\times4=1m$

Now, the work gone (W) against gravity is given as:

W = mgh'

W = 3619.11kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1 = 35467.278 J

Examine MSDS for hydrogen peroxide 3% and hydrogen peroxide 30% from the same manufacturer. Compare the information contained in

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The chemical is the same but the concentration is different.

The chemical is more dangerous in its highly concentrated form.

Although the chemicals are the same, they require different handling procedures. Therefore specific information should be available for each.

Two ropes are attached to a 35 kg object. The first rope applies a force of 20 N and the second applies a force of 55 N. If the

Answer:

$a=1.672\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the object, $m=35\ kg$

forces by two mutually perpendicular ropes of the attached to the object:

$F_x=20\ N$

$F_y=55\ N$

<u>Now we find the resultant force effect due to the two given forces:</u>

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$F=\sqrt{(20)^2+(55)^2}$

$F=58.52\ N$

<u>Now the acceleration will be due to this resultant force:</u>

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

$a=\frac{58.52}{35}$

$a=1.672\ m.s^{-2}$

A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring balance calibrated in Newtons that is attached to the ceiling of an elevator.(a) What does t

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

Explanation:

Part a)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have

$F_{net} = ma$

$T - mg = ma$

$T = mg + ma$

Reading is given as

$Reading = \frac{mg + ma}{g}$

$Reading = 2.00\frac{9.81 + 10}{9.81}$

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

How is work defined in physics

Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.

W = F · d

In other words, it is the force times the parallel component of the distance.

W = F d cos θ, where θ is the angle between the force and distance.
