On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/s^{2}.

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{30}{5} ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is \frac{1}{6} of that on the Earth.

m x \frac{10}{6} = k x 5.0

\frac{10m}{6} = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{10m}{30} ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{30}{5}  = \frac{10m}{30}

m = \frac{900}{50}

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

Queremos un cilindro de simple efecto que utilice en su funcionamiento un volumen de aire a presión atmosférica de 13,122 litros
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

Why is it important to be able to trace the pole connection on a meter back to the same type of pole at the electrical source?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection.

In areas where the neutral is grounded or earthed, it is essential to endure that the neutral and the live or hot wires are not confused for each other.

When this happens, the fuses on the transformer will not operate unless the fault is very close to the transformer. The fuses in the consumer's intake box, will not operate.

The gauge pressure at the bottom of a cylinder of liquid is 0.30atm. The liquid is poured into another cylinder with twice the r
likoan [24]

Answer:

P_g' = 0.075 atm

Explanation:

Gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder depends on the height of water in the cylinder

So here we can say that

P_g = \rho g h

now when liquid is filled to height "h" in base area "A" then gauge pressure of the liquid at the bottom is given as

P_g = 0.30 atm

now we put the whole liquid into another cylinder with twice radius of the first cylinder

So area becomes 4 times

now by volume conservation we can say that if area is increased by 4 times then height of liquid will decrease by 4 times

so we have

h' = \frac{h}{4}

so gauge pressure is given as

P_g' = \frac{0.30}{4} = 0.075 atm
