A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 555 N. As the drawing sh

ows, she is closer to the left cliff than to the right cliff, with the result that the tensions in the left and right sides of the rope are not the same. Find the tension in the rope to the left of the mountain climber.

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The tension in the rope on the left of the mountain climber is $T_a = 1106 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the mountain climber is m = 555 N

Generally from the diagram , the total amount of force acting on the rope along the vertical axis at equilibrium is mathematically represented as

$T_a* cos 65 -555 + T_b * cos(85) = 0$

Here $T_a, T_b$ are the tension of the rope on the left and on the right hand side

So

$0.423T_a + 0.0871T_b = 555$

=> $0.0871T_b = 555 - 0.423T_a$

=> $T_b = \frac{555 - 0.423T_a}{0.0871}$

Generally from the diagram , the total amount of force acting on the rope along the horizontal axis at equilibrium is mathematically represented as

$T_a* sin 65 - T_b * sin(85) = 0$

=> $0.9063T_a - 0.9962T_b = 0$

=> $0.9063T_a = 0.9962T_b$

=> $0.9063T_a = 0.9962[\frac{555 - 0.423T_a}{0.0871}]$

=> $0.9063T_a = [\frac{552.891 - 0.421T_a}{0.0871}]$

=> $0.0789T_a = [552.891 - 0.421T_a$

=> $0.4999T_a = 552.891$

=> $T_a = 1106 \ N$

Answer:

0.31429 Amps

Explanation:

Using the "Ohm's Law" we can look for the current (amps) with a formula of I = V/R

Given:

Resistance (Ohm) = 350

Volts = 110

Solution:

I = 110v/350r

I = 0.31429 amps

A uniform line charge of density λ lies on the x axis between x = 0 and x = L. Its total charge is 7 nC. The electric field at x

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The electric field at x = 3L is 166.67 N/C

Solution:

As per the question:

The uniform line charge density on the x-axis for x, 0< x< L is $\lambda$

Total charge, Q = 7 nC = $7\times 10^{- 9} C$

At x = 2L,

Electric field, $\vec{E_{2L}} = 500N/C$

Coulomb constant, K = $8.99\times 10^{9} N.m^{2}/C^{2}$

Now, we know that:

$\vec{E} = K\frac{Q}{x^{2}}$

Also the line charge density:

$\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}$

Thus

Q = $\lambda L$

Now, for small element:

$d\vec{E} = K\frac{dq}{x^{2}}$

$d\vec{E} = K\frac{\lambda }{x^{2}}dx$

Integrating both the sides from x = L to x = 2L

$\int_{0}^{E}d\vec{E_{2L}} = K\lambda \int_{L}^{2L}\frac{1}{x^{2}}dx$

$\vec{E_{2L}} = K\lambda[\frac{- 1}{x}]_{L}^{2L}] = K\frac{Q}{L}[frac{1}{2L}]$

$\vec{E_{2L}} = (9\times 10^{9})\frac{7\times 10^{- 9}}{L}[frac{1}{2L}] = \frac{63}{L^{2}}$

Similarly,

For the field in between the range 2L< x < 3L:

$\int_{0}^{E}d\vec{E} = K\lambda \int_{2L}^{3L}\frac{1}{x^{2}}dx$

$\vec{E} = K\lambda[\frac{- 1}{x}]_{2L}^{3L}] = K\frac{Q}{L}[frac{1}{6L}]$

$\vec{E} = (9\times 10^{9})\frac{7\times 10^{- 9}}{L}[frac{1}{6L}] = \frac{63}{6L^{2}}$

Now,

If at x = 2L,

$\vec{E_{2L}} = 500 N/C$

Then at x = 3L:

$\frac{\vec{E_{2L}}}{3} = \frac{500}{3} = 166.67 N/C$

If A vector = i^-j^+k^ then unit vector in the direction of A vector

Novosadov [1.4K]

If <em>A</em> = <em>i</em> - <em>j</em> + <em>k</em>, then the magnitude of <em>A</em> is

||<em>A</em>|| = √(1² + (-1)² + 1²) = √3

Then the unit vector in the direction of <em>A</em> is 1/||A|| multiplied by <em>A</em> :

<em>u</em> = <em>A</em>/||<em>A</em>|| = (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> + <em>k</em>)/√3

The use of a simple machine will reduce the amount of work needed to move an object.true false

Eddi Din [679]

False they simple machines do not reduce the amount of work you do it would just reduce the amount of force you use.
