Thumbtacks have a flat top which gives you a bigger area to push on, and the end is tapered and sharp to make it easier to push it into a wall, etc.

A rectangular loop with dimensions 4.20 cm by 9.50 cm carries current I. The current in the loop produces a magnetic field at th
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

I=1.48 A

Explanation:

Given that

B=3.1 x 10⁻5 T

b= 4.2 cm

l= 9.5 cm

The relationship for magnetic field  and current given as

B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D

Where

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}

By putting the values

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{0.042^2+0.095^2}}{0.042\times 0.095}

D=26.03 m⁻¹

B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D

3.1\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{2\times 4\times \pi \times 10^{-7} I}{\pi}\times 26.03

I=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-5}}{{2\times 4\times 10^{-7} }\times 26.03}

I=1.48 A

A mass m = 14 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO friction for a distance d =5.7 m. Then the mass is pulled up an incl
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

W ≅ 292.97 J

Explanation:

1)What is the work done by tension before the block goes up the incline? (On the horizontal surface.)

Workdone by the tension before the block goes up the incline on the horizontal surface can be calculated using the expression;

W = (Fcosθ)d

Given that:

Tension of the force = 62 N

angle of incline θ =  34°

distance d =5.7 m.

Then;

W = 62 × cos(34) × 5.7

W = 353.4 cos(34)

W = 353.4 × 0.8290

W = 292.9686 J

W ≅ 292.97 J

Hence,  the work done by tension before the block goes up the incline = 292.97 J
