A wire of Nichrome (a nickel-chromium-iron alloy commonly used in heating elements) is 1.3 m long and 1.6 mm2 in cross-sectional

area. It carries a current of 3.2 A when a 2.0 V potential difference is applied between its ends. Calculate the conductivity σ of Nichrome. /Ω · m

Answer: 1.3 *10^6 Ω*m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following expression for the resistence:

R=L/(σ*A) where L and A are the length and teh area for the wire, respectively. σ is the conductivity of teh Nichrome.

Then, from mteh OHM law we have V=R*I so R=V/I=2/3.2=0.625 Ω

Finally we have:

σ=L/(R*A)=1.3/(0.625*1.6*10^-6)=1.3*10^6 Ω*m

mass of iron block given as

m_1 = 1.90 kg

density of iron block is

\rho = 7860 kg/m^3

now the volume of the iron piece is given as

V = \frac{m}{\rho}

V = \frac{1.90}{7860} = 2.42* 10^{-4} m^3

Now when this iron block is complete submerged in oil inside the beaker the buoyancy force on the iron block will be given as

F_b = \rho_L V g

here we know that

\rho_L = density of liquid = 916 kg/m^3

F_b = 916* 2.42 * 10^{-4} * 9.8

F_b = 2.17 N

Now for the reading of spring balance we can say the spring force and buoyancy force on the block will counter balance the weight of the block at equilibrium

F_s + F_b = mg

F_s + 2.17 = 1.90* 9.8

F_s = 16.45 N

So reading of spring balance will be 16.45 N

Now for other scale which will read the normal force of the surface we can write that normal force on the container will balance weight of liquid + container and buoyancy force on block

F_n = F_g + F_b

F_n = (1 + 2.50)*9.8 + 2.17

F_n = 34.3 + 2.17 = 36.47 N

So the other scale will read 36.47 N

A particular planet has a moment of inertia of 9.74 × 1037 kg ⋅ m2 and a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg. Based on these values, what is
malfutka [58]

Answer:  A) 6.38(10)^{6} m

Explanation:

The equation for the moment of inertia I of a sphere is:

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^{2} (1)

Where:

I=9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2} is the moment of inertia of the planet (assumed with the shape of a sphere)

m=5.98(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Isolating r from (1):

r=\sqrt{\frac{5I}{2m}} (2)

Solving:

r=\sqrt{\frac{5(9.74(10)^{37}kg m^{2})}{2(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}} (3)

Finally:

r=6381149.077m \approx 6.38(10)^{6} m

Therefore, the correct option is A.
