A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.0-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s

ide and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.6 m/s as it passes through the lowest point.
What is the tension in the rope at that point?

Answer:

The tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the ball, W = 150 N

length of the rope, r = 4 m

velocity of the ball, v = 5.6 m/s

When the ball passes through the lowest point, the tension on the rope is the sum of weight of the ball and centripetal force.

T = W + F

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

where;

m is the mass of the ball

m = W/g

m = 150 / 9.8 = 15.306 kg

Centripetal force, F = mv²/r

F = (15.306 x 5.6²)/4

F = 120 N

T = W + F

T = 150 + 120

T = 270 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope at the lowest point is 270 N

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

1. Location of enemy ground troops  - EARTH OBSERVING.

Using earth observing satellite imagery, the military can observe vast expanses of land and in so doing, find the location of enemy ground troops.

2. Routine reconnaissance of an unfamiliar climate  - WEATHER

In other to find out more about the climate of an area, a weather satellite can be used to observe the areas and its changing weather patterns.

3. Analyze waterways in an unfamiliar location  - NAVIGATION

Using navigation satellites, navigation conduits such as roads and waterways can be observed.

4. Provide warning of an attack - COMMUNICATION.

Communications satellites enable people to communicate over great distances and so can be used by the military to warn of an impending attack.

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 5 mph. Suppose that the mass density of air is 0.0796 lbm/ft3 and determine t
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft

The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m

Explanation:

Given;

power generation potential (PGP) = 1000 kW

Wind speed = 5 mph = 2.2352 m/s

Density of air = 0.0796 lbm/ft³ = 1.275 kg/m³

Radius of the wind turbine r = ?

Wind energy per unit mass of air, e = E/m = 0.5 v² = (0.5)(2.2352)²

Wind energy per unit mass of air = 2.517 J/kg

PGP = mass flow rate * energy per unit mass

PGP = ρ*A*V*e

PGP = \rho *\frac{\pi r^2}{2} *V*e  \\\\r^2 = \frac{2*PGP}{\rho*\pi *V*e} , r=\sqrt{ \frac{2*PGP}{\rho*\pi *V*e}} = \sqrt{ \frac{2*10^6}{1.275*\pi *2.235*2.517}}

r = 210.64 m = 691.1 ft

Thus, the radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft

PGP = CVᵃ

For best design of wind turbine Betz limit (c) is taken between (0.35 - 0.45)

Let C = 0.4

PGP = Cvᵃ

take log of both sides

ln(PGP) = a*ln(CV)

a = ln(PGP)/ln(CV)

a = ln(1000)/ln(0.4 *2.2352) = 7.73

The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m

A 1 m3 rigid tank initially contains air whose density is 1.18kg/m3. The tank is connected to a high pressure supply line throug
Elanso [62]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to density in relation to mass and volume for each of the states presented.

Density can be defined as

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where

m = Mass

V = Volume

For state one we know that

\rho_1 = \frac{m_1}{V}

m_1 = \rho_1 V

m_1 = 1.18*1

m_1 = 1.18Kg

For state two we have to

\rho_2 = \frac{m_2}{V}

m_2 = \rho_2 V

m_1 = 7.2*1

m_1 = 7.2Kg

Therefore the total change of mass would be

\Delta m = m_2-m_1

\Delta m = 7.2-1.18

\Delta m = 6.02Kg

Therefore the mass of air that has entered to the tank is 6.02Kg

Harmonic excitation of motion is represent as
Gennadij [26K]

Harmonic excitation refers to a sinusoidal external force of a certain frequency applied to a system. ... Resonance occurs when the external excitation has the same frequency as the natural frequency of the system. It leads to large displacements and can cause a system to exceed its elastic range and fail structurally.
