A 60-kg woman holds a 9-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of g/4. Determine

the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration in-travel. If the elevator supports cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire

Answer:

force R = 846.11 N

lifting force L = 110.36 N

if cable fail complete both R and L will be zero

Explanation:

given data

mass woman mw = 60 kg

mass package mp = 9 kg

accelerates rate a = g/4

to find out

force R and lifting force L and if cable fail than what values would R and L acquire

solution

we calculate here first reaction R force

we know elevator which accelerates upward

so now by direction of motion , balance the force that is express as

R - ( mw + mp ) × g = ( mw + mp ) × a

here put all these value and a = g/4 and use g = 9.81 m/s²

R - ( 60 + 9 ) × 9.81 = ( 60 + 9 ) × g/4

R = ( 69 ) × 9.81/4 + ( 69 ) 9.81

R = 69 ( 9.81 + 2.4525 )

force R = 846.11 N

and

lifting force is express as here

lifting force = mp ( g + a)

put here value

lifting force = 9 ( 9.81 + 9.81/4)

lifting force L = 110.36 N

and

we know if cable completely fail than body move free fall and experience no force

so both R and L will be zero

State the number of terms for each of the following algebraic expression 2x+1

harina [27]

Answer:

Expressions are made up of terms.

A term is a product of factors.

Coefficient is the numerical factor in the term

Before moving to terms like monomials, binomials, and polynomials, like and unlike terms are discussed.

When terms have the same algebraic factors, they are like terms.

When terms have different algebraic factors, they are unlike terms.

Answer:

X_cp = c/2

Explanation:

We are given;

Chord = c

Angle of attack = α

p u (s) = c 1

p1(s)=c2,

and c2 > c1

First of all, we need to find the resultant normal force on the plate and the total moment about leading edge.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$r=K A^{1/5} \rho^{-1/5} t^{2/5}$

$A= \frac{r^5 \rho}{t^2}$

$A=1.033x10^{21} ergs *\frac{Kg TNT}{4x10^{10} erg}=2.58x10^{10} Kg TNT$

Explanation:

Notation

In order to do the dimensional analysis we need to take in count that we need to conditions:

a) The energy A is released in a small place

b) The shock follows a spherical pattern

We can assume that the size of the explosion r is a function of the time t, and depends of A (energy), the time (t) and the density of the air is constant $\rho_{air}$ .

And now we can solve the dimensional problem. We assume that L is for the distance T for the time and M for the mass.

[r]=L with r representing the radius

[A]= $\frac{ML^2}{T^2}$ A represent the energy and is defined as the mass times the velocity square, and the velocity is defined as $\frac{L}{T}$

[t]=T represent the time

$[\rho]=\frac{M}{L^3}$ represent the density.

Solution to the problem

And if we analyze the function for r we got this:

$[r]=L=[A]^x [\rho]^y [t]^z$

And if we replpace the formulas for each on we got:

$[r]=L =(\frac{ML^2}{T^2})^x (\frac{M}{L^3})^y (T)^z$

And using algebra properties we can express this like that:

$[r]=L=M^{x+y} L^{2x-3y} T^{-2x+z}$

And on this case we can use the exponents to solve the values of x, y and z. We have the following system.

$x+y =0 , 2x-3y=1, -2x+z=0$

We can solve for x like this x=-y and replacing into quation 2 we got:

$2(-y)-3y = 1$

$-5y = 1$

$y= -\frac{1}{5}$

And then we can solve for x and we got:

$x = -y = -(-\frac{1}{5})=\frac{1}{5}$

And if we solve for z we got:

$z=2x =2 \frac{1}{5}=\frac{2}{5}$

And now we can express the radius in terms of the dimensional analysis like this:

$r=K A^{1/5} \rho^{-1/5} t^{2/5}$

And K represent a constant in order to make the porportional relation and equality.

The problem says that we can assume the constant K=1.

And if we solve for the energy we got:

$A^{1/5}=\frac{r}{t^{2/5} \rho^{-1/5}}$

$A= \frac{r^5 \rho}{t^2}$

And now we can replace the values given. On this case t =0.025 s, the radius r =140 m, and the density is a constant assumed $\rho =1.2 kg/m^2$ , and replacing we got:

$A=\frac{140^5 1.2 kg/m^3}{(0.025 s)^2}=1.033x10^{14} \frac{kg m^2}{s^2}$

And we can convert this into ergs we got:

$A= 1.033x10^{14} \frac{kgm^2}{s^2} * \frac{1 x10^7 egrs}{1 \frac{kgm^2}{s^2}}=1.033x10^{21} ergs$

And then we know that 1 g of TNT have $4x10^4 erg$

And we got:

$A=1.033x10^{21} ergs *\frac{Kg TNT}{4x10^{10} erg}=2.58x10^{10} Kg TNT$

When charging an R-410A system that uses a water-cooled condenser, you must first charge with vapor to a pressure of at least __

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

35psig

Explanation:

Pressure is a force that acts on a surface area. The psig measure the pressure pounds per square inch gauge. It measure the difference in pressure between supply tank and outside air. This pressure is relative to atmospheric pressure. When charging an R-410A system, the vapor pressure should be at least 35 psig before switching to liquid charging.
