A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,

when the van accelerates, the sphere swings backward so that the string makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical. Find the acceleration of the van when θ = 13.0°.

Answer: 42.49 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:

While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.

Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.

Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side

By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.

(1)  Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)        

Searching for the Va in (1)

Va = G/Tan(∅)

Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°

Va = 9.81m/s^{2}  / Tan(13.0°)

Va = 42.49 m/s^{2}

The vans acceleration need to be 42.49 m/s^{2}  to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof

The displacement of a wave traveling in the positive x-direction is y(x, t)|= (3.5 cm)cos(2.7x − 92t), where x is in m and t is
zubka84 [21]

Answer

Given,

y(x, t) = (3.5 cm) cos(2.7 x − 92 t)

comparing the given equation with general equation

y(x,t) = A cos(k x - ω t)

 A = 3.5 cm  , k = 2.7 rad/m    , ω = 92 rad/s

we know,

a) ω =2πf

   f = 92/ 2π

   f = 14.64 Hz

b) Wavelength of the wave

 we now, k = 2π/λ

      2π/λ = 2.7

      λ = 2 π/2.7

      λ = 2.33 m

c) Speed of wave

     v = ν λ

     v = 14.64 x 2.33

     v = 34.11 m/s

It is easier to lift the same load by using three pulley system than by using two-pulley system. why give reason.​
tresset_1 [31]
<h2>QUESTION:- It is easier to lift the same load by using three pulley system than by using two-pulley system.</h2>

<h2>ANSWER:- IN CASE OF IDEAL PULLEY SYSTEM</h2>

<h2>REASON:- </h2>

Logic behind is lies behind the mechanical advantage of the provided bt the Pulley system.

as if we calculate the mechanical advantage of the 2 Pulley system we will have the value 2

And if we will calculate the mechanical advantage of the 3 pulley system then we will get the value of 3

so due to extra mechanical advantage we feel it easy to move with 3 pulley system then 2 Pulley system
