MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$q=49Q/64$

and

$x =16R/15$

Explanation:

See attached figure.

$E_{Q}=$ E due to sphere

$E_{q}=$ E due to particule

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$ (1)

according to the law of gauss and superposition Law:

$E_{Q}=E_{1}+E_{2}=E_{2}$ ; electric field due to the small sphere with r1=R/4

$E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=$

$q_{2}=density*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q/(4/3*pi*R^{3})*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q*r_{1}^{3}/R^{3}$

then: $E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=k*Q*r_{1}^{3}/(R^{3}*r_{1}^{2}) = kQ/(4*R^{2})$ (2)

on the other hand, for the particule:

$E_{q}=kq/(r_{p}^{2})$

$r_{p}=2R-R/4=7R/4$ ⇒ $E_{q}=16kq/(49R^{2})$ (3)

We replace (2) y (3) in (1):

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(4*R^{2}) - 49kq/(16R^{2})$

$q=49Q/64$

--------------------

if R<x<2R AND $E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(x^{2}) - kq/(2R-x^{2})$

remember that $q=49Q/64$

then:

$Q(2R-x^{2})=49/64*x^{2}$

solving:

$x_{1} =16R/15$

$x_{2} =16R$

but: R<x<2R

so : $x =16R/15$

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop

postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination $(\theta )=30^{\circ}$

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

$F_{net}=0$

Force applied by cable $=mg\sin \theta$

$F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N$

work done $=F\cdot x$

$W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J$

(b)Power $=F\cdot v$

$P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp$
