If the elevator cable breaks when the elevator is at a height h above the top of the spring, calculate the value that the spring

constant k should have so that passengers undergo an acceleration of no more than 7.0 g when brought to rest. Let M be the total mass of the elevator and passengers.

Answer:

k=\frac{24Mg}{h}

Explanation:

We have to know the maximum compression of the spring in order to know the total height at which the elevator falls. According to Newton's second law:

\sum F=ma\\kx-Mg=M(7g)\\kx=8Mg\\x=\frac{8Mg}{k}

The law of the conservation of energy states that:

MgH=\frac{kx^2}{2}\\Mg(h+x)=\frac{k(\frac{8Mg}{k})^2}{2}\\Mgh+Mg(\frac{8Mg}{k})=\frac{64M^2g^2}{2k}\\Mgh=\frac{32M^2g^2}{k}-\frac{8M^2g^2}{k}\\k(Mgh)=24M^2g^2\\k=\frac{24Mg}{h}

Katen [24]

N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

A transformer is a device that changes the voltage in the primary, causing a voltage to be induced in the secondary. The expression for this voltage ratio is

ΔV₂ = N₂ /N₁ ΔV₁

where N is the number of windings on each side and V2 and V1 are the voltages in the secondary and primary, respectively.

They state that the primary voltage in this instance is 9.0 V and the secondary voltage is 120 V.

ΔV₂ /ΔV₁ = N₂ / N₁

N₂ / N₁ = 120/9

N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

A very long cylinder, of radius a, carries a uniform polarization P perpendicular to its axis. Find the electric field inside th
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

For electric field inside cylinder, check image 02 attached

For electric field outside cylinder, check image 03 attached

Explanation:

Let's consider the polarized cylinder as superposition of two cylinders with opposite,equal, uniform charge densities in a way shown in the figure in the "image 01"d attached ;

In general, if we have an object with polarization (P¬) , then we have to take two objects with similar shape to the system, with opposite, equal, and uniform charge densities and then we super-impose these two objects in such a way that the total dipole moment of this superimposed system is equal to the total dipole moment of original system.

Now, we can take the super- imposed system as equivalent to the original system for calculating electric field and potential.

Therefore,

For the electric field inside the cylinder, check the solution in "image 02" i attached

For the electric field outside the cylinder, check, "image 03" i attached.

A propeller is modeled as five identical uniform rods extending radially from its axis. The length and mass of each rod are 0.77
Vikki [24]
The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is

KE_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}(number \ of\ propellers)( I)( omega)^{2}

where I is the moment of inertia. This is just mass times the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation. In other words, the radius of the propeller or this is equivalent to the length of the rod. ω is the angular velocity. We determine I and ω first.

I=m L^{2}=(2.67 \ kg) (0.777 \ m)^{2}  =2.07459 \ kgm^{2}

ω = 573 rev/min * (2π rad/rev) * (1 min/60 s) = 60 rad/s

Then,

KE_{rot} =( \frac{1}{2} )(5)(2.07459 \ kgm^{2}) (60\ rad/s)^{2}

KE_{rot} =18,671.31 \ J
