Answer:

(0, πR/4)

Explanation:

The linear mass density (mass per length) is λ = λ₀ sin θ.

A short segment of arc length is ds = R dθ.

The mass of this short length is:

dm = λ ds

dm = (λ₀ sin θ) (R dθ)

dm = R λ₀ sin θ dθ

The x coordinate of the center of mass is:

X = ∫ x dm / ∫ dm

X = ∫₀ᵖ (R cos θ) (R λ₀ sin θ dθ) / ∫₀ᵖ R λ₀ sin θ dθ

X = R ∫₀ᵖ sin θ cos θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

X = R ∫₀ᵖ ½ sin 2θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

X = ¼R ∫₀ᵖ 2 sin 2θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

X = ¼R (-cos 2θ)|₀ᵖ / (-cos θ)|₀ᵖ

X = ¼R (-cos 2π − (-cos 0)) / (-cos π − (-cos 0))

X = ¼R (-1 + 1) / (1 + 1)

X = 0

The y coordinate of the center of mass is:

Y = ∫ y dm / ∫ dm

Y = ∫₀ᵖ (R sin θ) (R λ₀ sin θ dθ) / ∫₀ᵖ R λ₀ sin θ dθ

Y = R ∫₀ᵖ sin² θ dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

Y = R ∫₀ᵖ ½ (1 − cos 2θ) dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

Y = ½R ∫₀ᵖ (1 − cos 2θ) dθ / ∫₀ᵖ sin θ dθ

Y = ½R (θ − ½ sin 2θ)|₀ᵖ / (-cos θ)|₀ᵖ

Y = ½R [(π − ½ sin 2π) − (0 − ½ sin 0)] / (-cos π − (-cos 0))

Y = ½R (π − 0) / (1 + 1)

Y = ¼πR

A spherical soap bubble with a surface-tension of 0.005 lbf/ft is expanded from a diameter of 0.5 in to 3.0 in. How much work, i
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:W = 1.23×10^-6BTU

Explanation: Work = Surface tension × (A1 - A2)

W= Surface tension × 3.142 ×(D1^2 - D2^2)

Where A1= Initial surface area

A2= final surface area

Given:

D1=0.5 inches , D2= 3 inches

D1= 0.5 × (1ft/12inches)

D1= 0.0417 ft

D2= 3 ×(1ft/12inches)

D2= 0.25ft

Surface tension = 0.005lb ft^-1

W = [(0.25)^2 - (0.0417)^2]

W = 954 ×10^6lbf ft × ( 1BTU/778lbf ft)

W = 1.23×10^-6BTU
