1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}

where

r_w is the radius of the wheel

r_a is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that r_w = 18 cm and r_a=2 cm, so the IMA is

IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9


2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%

What is 3600Hz has in rpm?​
Setler [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

N=Rotor Speed in Revolution per minute(rpm)

for P=4 and N=3600, f comes out to be 120 Hz.

So frequency of voltage produced is 120 Hz. But this is not practical. Generally 4-Pole generator has N=1500rpm(for 50 Hz) or 1800rpm for 60 Hz. Two pole generator can have N=3600rpm(f=60Hz).

The most practical situation is generator having N=3600Hz with 2 Poles.

Hope It will be helpful!!!

Assume that the blocks are accelerating, and the x components of their accelerations at a certain moment are a1x and a2x. find t
Serga [27]

we know that center of mass is given as

r = (m₁ r_{1x} + m₂ r_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (m₁ dr_{1x}/dt + m₂ dr_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

v = (m₁ v_{1x} + m₂ v_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)

taking derivative again relative to "t" both side

dv/dt = (m₁ dv_{1x}/dt + m₂ dv_{2x}/dt)/(m₁ + m₂)

a= (m₁ a_{1x} + m₂ a_{2x})/(m₁ + m₂)
