Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω ,  V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance  

         R_{eq} = ∑ R_{i}

* For resistance in parallel

        1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

         R_B = Rb + R4

         R_B = 2 + 18

         R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

         R_C5 = Rc + R5

         R_C5 = 3 + 12

         R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

         1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

          1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

          R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

          R_total = R_A + R_BC

          R_total = 6 + 8.57

          R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

           10 = V_a + V_BC

           10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

           i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

           i = 10 / (14.57)

           i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

          V_BC = i R_BC

          V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

          V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

     Branch C

             V_BC = i R_C5

             i = V_BC / R_C5

             i = 5.8819 / 15

             i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

             V_C = i R_C

              V_C = 0.39213 3

              V_C = 1.176 V

A weightlifter uses a force of 356 N to lift a set of weights 2.2 m off the ground. How much work did the weightlifter do? Answe
Valentin [98]

Answer:

783.2 N.m or Joules

Explanation:

W=F*d*cos(Ф)

Work done when a force F is applied to move an object by a displacement d meters

where cos(Ф) is the angle between applied force F and displacement d

Since the weightlifter is applying the force upward and the set of weight also move upward therefore, both are in same direction hence angle will be zero.

Now lets substitute the given values into the work equation:

W=356*2.2*cos(0)

since cos(0)=1

W=356*2.2*1

W=783.2 N.m

or

W=783.2 Joules

Since the unit of Force is Newton (N) and the unit of displacement is meters (m) therefore, unit of work done will be N.m

Note: 1 N.m is equivalent to 1 joule

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

The specific weight of sea water is 10.1 kN/m^3. Convert to lbs/in^3.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.03719 lbs/in³

Explanation:

Specific weight is given by multiplying the density of an object to the acceleration due to gravity.

\gamma =\rho g\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{gamma}{g}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{10.1\times 10^3}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1029.562\ kg/m^3

1\ kg=2.20462\ lb

1\ m=39.3701\ in

\\\Rightarrow 1029.562\ kg/m^3=\frac{1029.562\times 2.20462}{39.3701^3}=0.03719\ lbs/in^3

So,

10.1\ kN/m^3=0.03719\ lbs/in^3

lozanna [386]

Answer:

1606

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!
