After a fall, a 90 kg rock climber finds himself dangling from the end of a rope that had been 16 m long and 7.8 mm in diameter

but has stretched by 3.1 cm. For the rope, calculate
(a) the strain,
(b) the stress, and
(c) the Young's modulus.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the rock climber, m = 90 kg

Original length of the rock, L = 16 m

Diameter of the rope, d = 7.8 mm

Stretched length of the rope, \Delta L=3.1\ cm

(a) The change in length per unit original length is called strain. So,

\text{strain}=\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}\\\\\text{strain}=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-2}}{16}\\\\\text{strain}=0.00193

(b) The force acting per unit area is called stress.

\text{stress}=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\\text{stress}=\dfrac{90\times 10}{\pi (3.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\\\text{stress}=1.88\times 10^7\ Pa

(c) The ratio of stress to the strain is called Young's modulus. So,

Y=\dfrac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}}\\\\Y=\dfrac{1.88\times 10^7}{0.00193}\\\\Y=9.74\times 10^9\ N/m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

If an airplane is flying directly north at 300.0 km/h, and a crosswind is hitting the airplane at 50.0 km/h from the east, what
Rashid [163]

Answer:

magnitude = 304.14 km/h

direction: 9.46^o West of North

Explanation:

The final plane's vector velocity will be the result of the vector addition of one pointing North of length 300 km/h, another one pointing West of length 50 km/h.

To find the magnitude of the final velocity vector (speed) we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem in a right angle triangle with sides: 300 and 50, and find its hypotenuse:

|v|=\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=\sqrt{92500}  = 304.14 km/h

The actual direction of the plane is calculated using trigonometry, in particular with the arctan function, since the tangent of the angle can be written as:

tan(\theta)=\frac{50}{300} = \frac{1}{6} \\\theta = arctan(\frac{1}{6} ) = 9.46^o

So the resultant velocity vector of the plane has magnitude = 304.14 km/h,

and it points 9.46^o West of the North direction.

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.

Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of  precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.
