Answer:
Work done is 1.31 J.
Explanation:
Given:
Length of the ramp (L) = 5.0 mm
Height of the top end (H) = 1.4 mm
Horizontal force applied (F) = 270 N
Work done (W) = ?
We know that,
Work done is equal to the product of force and displacement caused along the line of application of force.
Here, the force acting on the refrigerator is in the horizontal direction while the refrigerator is moving down along the length of the ramp. So, we have to first find the horizontal component of the displacement caused.
Now, consider the triangle ABC representing the given situation. The point A is the top end point of the ramp, AB is the length of the ramp, AC is the vertical displacement of the refrigerator and BC is the horizontal displacement of the refrigerator.
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Now, force applied on the refrigerator is in the direction opposite to the horizontal component of displacement. So, work is negative.
Work = Force × Horizontal displacement
Therefore, work done is 1.31 J.
Answer:
Explanation:
Notice that this is a circuit with resistors R1 and R2 in parallel, connected to resistor R3 in series. It is what is called a parallel-series combination.
So we first find the equivalent resistance for the two resistors in parallel:
By knowing this, we can estimate the total current through the circuit,:
So approximately 0.17 amps
and therefore, we can estimate the voltage drop (V3) in R3 uisng Ohm's law:
So now we know that the potential drop across the parellel resistors must be:
10 V - 4.28 V = 5.72 V
and with this info, we can calculate the current through R1 using Ohm's Law:
