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°

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oF. The air undergoes a process to a state where the
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The work and heat transfer for this process is = 270.588 kJ

Explanation:

Take properties of air from an ideal gas table.  R = 0.287 kJ/kg-k

The Pressure-Volume relation is <em>PV</em> = <em>C</em>

<em>T = C </em> for isothermal process

Calculating for the work done in isothermal process

<em>W</em> = <em>P</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]

   = <em>mRT</em>₁ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]      [∵<em>pV</em> = <em>mRT</em>]

   = (5) (0.287) (272.039) ln[\frac{2.0}{1.0}]

   = 270.588 kJ

Since the process is isothermal, Internal energy change is zero

Δ<em>U</em> = mc_{v}(T_{2}  - T_{1} ) = 0

From 1st law of thermodynamics

Q = Δ<em>U  </em>+ <em>W</em>

   = 0 + 270.588

   = 270.588 kJ

(20) A rocket is launched vertically. At time t = 0 seconds, the rocket’s engine shuts down. At the time, the rocket has reached
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

for t > 0.

At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.

We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket

Using mathematics maxima and minima

let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -9.8t + 125

dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125

9.8t = 125

t = 125 / 9.8

t = 12.76s

Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point

Let find d²h / dt²

d²h / dt² = -9.8

Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.

Then, the maximum height reached is

h =  -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

h =  -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500

h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500

h = 1297.2 m

The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m

From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.

Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.
