A uniform ladder of length L and weight w is leaning against a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the lad

der and the floor is the same as that between the ladder and the wall. If this coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.495, determine the smallest angle the ladder can make with the floor without slipping.

Answer: 45.3°

Explanation:

Given,

Length of ladder = l

Weight of ladder = w

Coefficient of friction = μs = 0.495

Smallest angle the ladder makes = θ

If we assume the forces in the vertical direction to be N1, and the forces in the horizontal direction to be N2, then,

N1 = mg and

N2 = μmg

Moment at a point A in the clockwise direction is

N2 Lsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ = mg.(L/2).cosθ

μsinθ = cosθ/2

sin θ / cos θ = 1 / 2μ

Tan θ = 1 / 2μ

Substituting the value of μ = 0.495, we have

Tan θ = 1 / 2 * 0.495

Tan θ = 1 / 0.99

Tan θ = 1.01

θ = tan^-1(1.01)

θ = 45.3°

10. A worker uses a pulley system to raise a 24.0 kg carton 16.5 m. A force of 129 N is exerted and the rope is pulled 33.0 m. a
lozanna [386]

Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.

It's just asking you to sit down and COUNT the little squares in each sector.

It'll help you keep everything straight if you take a very sharp pencil and make a tiny dot in each square as you count it.  That way, you'll be able to see which ones you haven't counted yet, and also you won't count a square twice when you see that it already has a dot in it.

(If, by some chance, this is a picture of the orbit of a planet revolving around the sun ... as I think it might be ... then you should find that both sectors jhave the same number of squares.)

A current of 16.0 mA is maintained in a single circular loop of 1.90 m circumference. A magnetic field of 0.790 T is directed pa
pav-90 [236]

Answer

given,

current (I) = 16 mA

circumference of the circular loop (S)= 1.90 m

Magnetic field (B)= 0.790 T

S = 2 π r

1.9 = 2 π r

r = 0.3024 m

a) magnetic moment of loop

    M= I A

    M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times r^2

   M=16 \times 10^{-3} \times \pi \times 0.3024^2

   M=4.59 \times 10^{-3}\ A m^2

b)  torque exerted in the loop

 \tau = M\ B

 \tau = 4.59 \times 10^{-3}\times 0.79

 \tau = 3.63 \times 10^{-3} N.m

Kamila [148]

Answer:4 times more energy will be striking the childbearing

Explanation:

Because Volume is directly proportional to amplitude of sound. Energy is proportional to amplitude squared. If you triple the amplitude, you multiply the energy by 4
