Answer:

R=64.32\ lb\\\\\theta=84.3\°

Explanation:

Given:

Ratio of lift force to drag force is, \frac{L}{D}=10

Lift force on a short section is, L=64\ lb

Magnitude of resultant, R= ?

The angle of 'R' with the horizontal is, \theta=?

We know that, lift force and drag are at right angles to each other. So, the resultant can be computed using Pythagoras theorem.

For calculating 'R', we first compute drag force 'D'.

As per question:

\frac{L}{D}=10\\\\D=\frac{L}{10}=\frac{64\ lb}{10}=6.4\ lb

Now, the magnitude of resultant 'R' is given as:

R=\sqrt{L^2+D^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'R'. This gives,

R=\sqrt{64^2+6.4^2}\\\\R=\sqrt{4096+40.96}\\\\R=\sqrt{4136.96}=64.32\ lb

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force 'R' is 64.32 lb.

Now, the angle \theta is given as the arctan of the ratio of the lift and drag force.

Therefore,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(L/D)\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(10)\\\\\theta=84.3\°

Therefore, the angle made with the horizontal is 84.3°.

Typical Pressurized Water Reactors can produce 1100 to 1500
lozanna [386]

Answer: about 1,100,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 Joules/second

Explanation:

1 MW (megawatt) = 1,000,000.00 J/s (joules per second)

1100(1,000,000) = 1,100,000,000

1500(1,000,000) = 1,500,000,000

A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Acc
saul85 [17]

Answer:

greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

Explanation:

Since both the toys are connected by same spring so the force due to spring on both the toys will be same and it is given as

F = kx

now we know by Newton's II law

F = ma

so here we have

a = \frac{F}{m}

here we have same force on both the blocks

so acceleration will be more if mass is less

so greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

M84, M87, and NGC 4258 all have accretion disks around their central black holes for which the rotational velocities have been m
givi [52]

Answer:

<u>For M84:</u>

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

<u>For M87:</u>

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

Explanation:

1 parsec, pc  = 3.08 * 10¹⁶ m

The equation of the orbit speed can be used to calculate the doppler velocity:

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

making m the subject of the formula in the equation above to calculate the mass of the black hole:

M = \frac{v^{2} r}{G}.............(1)

<u>For M84:</u>

r = 8 pc = 8 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 24.64 * 10¹⁶ m

v = 400 km/s = 4 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

M = \frac{( 4*10^{5}) ^{2} *24.64* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }

M = 590.7 * 10³⁶ kg

<u>For M87:</u>

r = 20 pc = 20 * 3.08 * 10¹⁶

r = 61.6* 10¹⁶ m

v = 500 km/s = 5 * 10⁵ m/s

G = 6.674 * 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Substituting these values into equation (1)

M = \frac{( 5*10^{5}) ^{2} *61.6* 10^{16} }{6.674 * 10^{-11} }

M = 2307.46 * 10³⁶ kg

The mass of the black hole in the galaxies is measured using the doppler shift.

The assumption made is that the intrinsic velocity dispersion is needed to match the line widths that are observed.
