A 2.31-kg rope is stretched between supports that are 10.4 m apart, and has a tension in it of 49.2 N. If one end of the rope is

slightly tweaked, how long will it take for the resulting disturbance to reach the other end?

Answer:

The resulting disturbance takes approximately 0.70 seconds to reach the other end.

Explanation:

The velocity of a disturbance on a rope depends on the physical properties of the material and the tension exerted to it, the equation is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}  (1)

With v the velocity of the disturbance, T the tension of the rope and μ the linear density of the rope. The linear density of the rope is the relation between mass M and length L so we have:

\frac{M}{L} (2)

Using (2) on (1):

v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}=\sqrt{\frac{49.2*10.4}{2.31}}\simeq14.9\frac{m}{s} (3)

If we assume the velocity of the disturbance is constant, it will take for the resulting disturbance to reach the other ends a time t:

t=\frac{L}{v}=\frac{10.4}{14.9}\simeq0.70\,s (4)

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A   (N/m²)

P1=P2

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2}  }{A_{1}}  Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight  (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N

A wire of radius 5 x 10⁻⁴ m is needed to prepare a coil of resistance 40 Ω. The resistivity of the material of the wire is 3.14x
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

100 m

Explanation:

From the question,

R = Lρ/A.................... Equation 1

Where R = resistance of the wire, L = length of the wire, ρ = resistivity of the wire, A = cross sectional area of the wire.

But,

A = πr².................... Equation 2

Where r = radius of the wire.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

R = Lρ/πr²

Make L the subject of the equation

L = Rπr²/ρ...................... Equation 3

Given: R = 40 Ω, r = 5×10⁻⁴ m, ρ = 3.14×10⁻⁷ Ωm

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 3

L = [40×3.14×( 5×10⁻⁴)²]/ (3.14×10⁻⁷)

L = 40×3.14×25×10⁻⁸/(3.14×10⁻⁷)

L = 100 m

Hence the length of the wire is 100 m
