Answer:

Incomplete question, but let analyse generally a torque acting on a rotating body

Explanation:

Toque is given as

τ = r × F

Where

τ is the torque (Nm)

r is the position vector (m)

F is the force (N).

Let assume we have the following data

F= x•i + y•j + z•k

Also let assume the position vector is

r'= a•i + b•j + c•k

a. The first question, torque at the origin

The origin will have a position vector of r1(0,0,0)

Then, the displacement is

r=AB=AO+OB=-OA+OB

r = r'-r1 = (a, b, c)-(0,0,0)

r=(a, b, c)

Then, the torque is given as

τ = r×F

τ = (a, b, c) × (x, y, z)

Note that

i×i=j×j=k×k=0

i×j=k, j×i=-k

j×k=i, k×j=-i

k×i=j, i×k=-j

τ = (a•i + b•j + c•k) × (x•i + y•j + z•k)

τ = a•i×(x•i + y•j + z•k) + b•j×(x•i + y•j + z•k) + c•k×(x•i + y•j + z•k)

τ = (a•i × x•i)+ (a•i × y•j) + (a•i × z•k) + (b•j × x•i) + (b•j × y•j) + (b•j × z•k) + (c•k × x•i) + (c•k × y•j) + (c•k × z•k)

Now, using the above law.

τ = 0 + ay•k - az•j - bx•k + 0 + bz•i + cx•j - cy•i + 0

τ= ay•k - az•j - bx•k + bz•i + cx•j -cy•i

Then, rearranging

τ = (bz - cy)•i + (cx - az)•j + (ay - bx)•k

This is general formula for the torque at the origin, so you can apply it to the given values in your question because the question given is not complete.

b. Now let, analyse at the position vector (2.61 m, 0, -8.03 m)

Using the same analysis

position vector of r1(2.61, 0, -8.03)m

Then, the displacement is

r=AB=AO+OB=-OA+OB

r = r'-r1 = (a, b, c)-(2.61,0,-8.03)

r=(a-2.61, b, c+8.03)

Then, the torque is given as

τ = r×F

τ = (a-2.61, b, c+8.03) × (x, y, z)

Note that

i×i=j×j=k×k=0

i×j=k, j×i=-k

j×k=i, k×j=-i

k×i=j, i×k=-j

τ =([a-2.61]•i, b•j, [c+8.03]•k) × (x•i + y•j + z•k)

τ = (a-2.61)•i×(x•i + y•j + z•k) + b•j×(x•i + y•j + z•k) + (c+8.03)•k×(x•i + y•j + z•k)

τ = ((a-2.61)•i × x•i)+ ((a-2.61)•i × y•j) + ((a-2.61)•i × z•k) + (b•j × x•i) + (b•j × y•j) + (b•j × z•k) + ((c+8.03)•k × x•i) + ((c+8.03)•k × y•j) + ((c+8.03)•k × z•k)

Now, using the above law.

τ = 0 + (a-2.61)y•k - (a-2.61)z•j - bx•k + 0 + bz•i + (c+8.03)x•j - (c+8.03)y•i + 0

τ= (a-2.61)y•k - (a-2.61)z•j - bx•k + bz•i + (c+8.03)x•j -(c+8.03)y•i

Then, rearranging

τ = (bz - cy - 8.03y)•i + (cx + 8.03x - az - 2.61z)•j + (ay - 2.61y - bx)•k

This is general formula for the torque at the point (2.61 m, 0, -8.03 m), so you can apply it to the given values in your question because the question given is not complete.

Compare and contrast electric motors and generators.

Electric motors require electricity to move the motor parts and do work (like an electric fan).

Elecgric generators actually burn diesel fuel to spin a motor around and around and around to GENERATE, or MAKE, electricity that you can then use to power your fans and lights in your house.

Light intensity is?
Fittoniya [83]
The correct answer is:
<span>The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area

In fact, light intensity is defined as the light power per unit of area:
</span>I= \frac{P}{A}
<span>but the power is the energy carried by the light per unit of time:
</span>P= \frac{E}{t}
<span>this means that the intensity can be rewritten as
</span>I= \frac{E}{tA}<span>
So, it's basically the rate of energy (per unit of time) through a given surface.</span>

When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9)  =  13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>

A car moves along a curved road of diameter 2 km. If the maximum velocity for safe driving on this path is 30 m/s, at what angle
Leto [7]
The maximum velocity in a banked road, ignoring friction, is given by;

v = Sqrt (Rg tan ∅), where R = Radius of the curved road = 2*1000/2 = 1000 m, g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2, ∅ = Angle of bank.

Substituting;
30 m/s = Sqrt (1000*9.81*tan∅)
30^2 = 1000*9.81*tan∅
tan ∅ = (30^2)/(1000*9.81) = 0.0917
∅ = tan^-1(0.0917) = 5.24°

Therefore, the road has been banked at 5.24°.
