We are given with a force in the middle of a rope measuring 10 m and an angle of sagging of 10 degrees from the horizontal. The tension of the rope is equal to the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

sin 10 = 50 kg * 9.8 m/s2 / T
Tension = 2821. 80 N

Answer:

$T = 1412.3 N$

Explanation:

As we know that weight of the Arlene is counterbalanced by the tension in the string

So here it is given that string makes 10 degree angle at mid point

So we will have

$T sin\theta + T sin\theta = mg$

so we have

$T = \frac{mg}{2sin\theta}$

here we know that

$m = 50 kg$

$\theta = 10 degree$

now we have

$T = \frac{50 \times 9.81}{2sin10}$

$T = 1412.3 N$

Let us be two cylindrical conductors connected in parallel, to which a potential difference of V = 170V is applied. The two cond

The equivalent resistance of the two cylindrical conductors connected in parallel is 466 ohm.

<h3>Resistance</h3>

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to flow of electric current. It is measured in ohms.

It is given by the formula:

$R=\rho\frac{l}{A} \\\\where\ l=length,A=area,\rho=resistivity$

Given that R₂ = 469 ohm, hence:

$R_2=\rho\frac{l_2}{A_2} \\\\469=\rho\frac{l_2}{\pi r_2^2}$

But l₁ = 6l₂, r₁ = (1/5)r₂, hence:

$R_1=\rho \frac{l_1}{A_1}=\rho *\frac{6l_2}{[\pi (1/5)r_2]^2} =150 * \rho \frac{l_2}{[\pi r_2]^2}=30*469=70350\ ohm$

The equivalent resistance (R) is:

$R=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_1}=\frac{469*70350}{469+70350} =466\ ohm$

The equivalent resistance of the two cylindrical conductors connected in parallel is 466 ohm.

Which example provides the most complete description of an object's motion?

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Explanation:

In order to describe the motion of an object, distance covered and time taken must be required. The total path covered by an object is called the distance travelled.

The hiker followed a road heading north for 2 miles in 30 minutes. This describes the motion of hiker. The motion shows how fast the hiker is moving.

Distance, d = 2 miles = 3218.6 m

times, t = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

So, we can say that the hiker is moving with a speed of 1.78 m/s in north direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

At the moment t = 0, a 20.0 V battery is connected to a 5.00 mH coil and a 6.00 Ω resistor. (a) Immediately thereafter, how does

insens350 [35]

(a) On the coil: 20 V, on the resistor: 0 V

The sum of the potential difference across the coil and the potential difference across the resistor is equal to the voltage provided by the battery, V = 20 V:

$V = V_R + V_L$

The potential difference across the inductance is given by

$V_L(t) = V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}$ (1)

where

$\tau = \frac{L}{R}=\frac{0.005 H}{6.00 \Omega}=8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s$ is the time constant of the circuit

At time t=0,

$V_L(0) = V e^0 = V = 20 V$

So, all the potential difference is across the coil, therefore the potential difference across the resistor will be zero:

$V_R = V-V_L = 20 V-20 V=0$

(b) On the coil: 0 V, on the resistor: 20 V

Here we are analyzing the situation several seconds later, which means that we are analyzing the situation for

$t >> \tau$

Since $\tau$ is at the order of less than milliseconds.

Using eq.(1), we see that for $t >> \tau$ , the exponential becomes zero, and therefore the potential difference across the coil is zero:

$V_L = 0$

Therefore, the potential difference across the resistor will be

$V_R = V-V_L = 20 V- 0 = 20 V$

(c) Yes

The two voltages will be equal when:

$V_L = V_R$ (2)

Reminding also that the sum of the two voltages must be equal to the voltage of the battery:

$V=V_L +V_R$

And rewriting this equation,

$V_R = V-V_L$

Substituting into (2) we find

$V_L = V-V_L\\2V_L = V\\V_L=\frac{V}{2}=10 V$

So, the two voltages will be equal when they are both equal to 10 V.

(d) at $t=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s$

We said that the two voltages will be equal when

$V_L=\frac{V}{2}$

Using eq.(1), and this last equation, this means

$V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} = \frac{V}{2}$

And solving the equation for t, we find the time t at which the two voltages are equal:

$e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}=\frac{1}{2}\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(1/2)\\t=-\tau ln(0.5)=-(8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s)ln(0.5)=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s$

(e-a) -19.2 V on the coil, 19.2 V on the resistor

Here we have that the current in the circuit is

$I_0 = 3.20 A$

The problem says this current is stable: this means that we are in a situation in which $t>>\tau$ , so the coil has no longer influence on the circuit, which is operating as it is a normal circuit with only one resistor. Therefore, we can find the potential difference across the resistor using Ohm's law

$V=I_0 R = (3.20 A)(6.0 \Omega)=19.2 V$

Then the battery is removed from the circuit: this means that the coil will discharge through the resistor.

The voltage on the coil is given by

$V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}$ (1)

which means that it is maximum at the moment when the battery is disconnected, when t=0:

$V_L(0)=.V$

And V this time is the voltage across the resistor, 19.2 V (because the coil is now connected to the resistor, not to the battery). So, the voltage across the coil will be -19.2 V, and the voltage across the resistor will be the same in magnitude, 19.2 V (since the coil and the resistor are connected to the same points in the circuit): however, the signs of the potential difference will be opposite.

(e-b) 0 V on both

After several seconds,

$t>>\tau$

If we use this approximation into the formula

$V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}$ (1)

We find that

$V_L = 0$

And since now the resistor is directly connected to the coil, the voltage in the resistor will be the same as the coil, so 0 V. This means that the coil has completely discharged, and current is no longer flowing through the circuit.
