Answer:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

Explanation:

For this problem to be easier to calculate, we can represent the triangle as a right triangle whose right angle is located at the origin of a coordinate system. (See picture attached).

With this disposition of the triangle, we can start finding our integral. The hydrostatic force can be set as an integral with the following shape:

\int\limits^a_bγhxdy

we know that γ=62.5 lb/ft^{3}

from the drawing, we can determine the height (or depth under the water) of each differential area is given by:

h=8-y

x can be found by getting the equation of the line, which we'll get by finding the slope of the line and using one of the points to complete the equation:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}

when substituting the x and y-values given on the graph, we get that the slope is:

m=\frac{0-6}{7-0}=-\frac{6}{7}

once we got this slope, we can substitute it in the point-slope form of the equation:

y_{2}-y_{1}=m(x_{2}-x_{1})

which yields:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}(x-0)

which simplifies to:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}x

we can now solve this equation for x, so we get that:

x=-\frac{7}{6}y+7

with this last equation, we can substitute everything into our integral, so it will now look like this:

\int\limits^6_0{(62.5)(8-y)(-\frac{7}{6}y+7)}\,dy

Now that it's all written in terms of y we can now simplify it, so we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)}dy

we can now proceed and evaluate it.

When using the power rule on each of the terms, we get the integral to be:

62.5[\frac{7}{18}y^{3}-\frac{49}{6}y^{2}+56y]^{6}_{0}

By using the fundamental theorem of calculus we get:

62.5[(\frac{7}{18}(6)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(6)^{2}+56(6))-(\frac{7}{18}(0)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(0)^{2}+56(0))]

When solving we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

If santa slides 5.00 m before reaching the edge, what is his speed as he leaves the roof?
AveGali [126]

Even with no friction, it depends on the slope of the roof. That is, it depends on how much elevation (altitude) he loses during the slide.

Whatever that number is ... call it 'h' ... Santa's speed when he reaches the edge is

Square root of (19.6h) meters per second.

It doesn't matter how much he weighs, or how far he has slud. Only how much altitude he lost on the slope while sliding.

What happens if :<br> . The test charge is not tiny.
docker41 [41]

The magnitude of the test charge must be small enough so that it does not disturb the issuance of the charges whose electric field we wish to measure otherwise the metric field will be different from the actual field.

<h3>How does test charge affect electric field?</h3>

As the quantity of authority on the test charge (q) is increased, the force exerted on it is improved by the same factor. Thus, the ratio of force per charge (F / q) stays the same.

Adjusting the amount of charge on the test charge will not change the electric field force.

<h3>What is a test charge used for?</h3>

The charge that is used to measure the electric field strength is directed to as a test charge since it is used to test the field strength. The test charge has a portion of charge denoted by the symbol q.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}
