A 26.4 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hinge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the ca

ble is 90o. If the beam is inclined at an angle of θ = 23.4° with respect to horizontal. What is the horizontal component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam?

Answer:

The horizontal component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam is 47.15 N.

Explanation:

Given data:

Weight of beam = 26.4 kg

Angle between the beam and the cable is 90°

Beam inclination with respect to horizontal with an angle, \theta = 23.4\°

<u>We need to find the horizontal component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam.</u>

Solution:

Let 'L' be length of the beam, 'T' be tension in the cable , F_{h} be horizontal component of force by the hinge, and F_{v} be vertical component of force by the hinge.

Take counterclockwise torque as positive.

Let us find torques around the hinge.

Torque by tension is given as:

\tau = T \times L  

Torque by the force of gravity is given as:

\tau_g= m g \frac{L}{2}\times cos \theta

Torques by F_{h} and F_{v} are 0 as they act on the hinge itself.

Now, for equilibrium, net torque about the hinge is 0. So,

\tau-\tau_g=0

T L - m g \frac{L}{2}\times \cos(\theta) = 0

Dividing both sides by 'L', we get:

T - m \frac{g}{2}\times \cos \theta = 0

T=m \frac{g}{2} \times cos \theta --------------------(1)

As per question, the cable makes 90° with the horizontal.

So, the net horizontal force is also zero. Therefore,

F_{h} -T cos(90- \theta) = 0

F_h - T sin(\theta) = 0

F_h = T sin(\theta) --------------------------(2)

Plug the value of 'T' from equation (1) into equation (2). This gives,

F_{h} = m \frac{g}{2} \times cos \theta \times sin \theta

F_{h} = 26.4 \times \frac{9.8}{2} \times cos(23.4) \times sin(23.4)

F_{h} = 47.15\ N

Therefore, the horizontal component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam is 47.15 N.

The half-wave rectifier circuit of vs(t) = 170 sin(377t) V and a load resistance R = 15Ω. Determine: a. The average load current
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a  average load current = 11.33 A

b rms load current = 8.02A

c true power =962.64 W

d apparent power =962.64 W

e. power factor cosθ =1

Explanation:

Vs (t) = 170 sin(377t) v

Vm =170v

Vrms = 170/√2 =120.23 v

Im = Vm/R = 170/15 = 11.33 A

Irms = Im/ √2 = 11.33/√2 =8.02A

Resistors are electronic components that consume energy

the power in a resistor is given by  P =IVcosθ ; in a resistor cosθ =1

P =IV

The electrical power consumed by a resistance, (R) is called the true or real power

and is obtained by multiplying the rms voltage with the rms current.

P= Vrms × Irms

120.03×8.02

P= 962.64 W ; true power

apparent power = Vrms × Irms

=120.03×8.02

= 962.64W ; apparent power

power factor cosθ = true power/ apparent power

cosθ = 962.64/962.64

cosθ = 1

For the purely resistive circuit, the power factor is 1 , because the reactive power is equal to zero (0).

Bonus: (It's not that hard, you just have to pay attention to units.) The Saturn V rocket first stage
agasfer [191]

v = 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed in terms of the object's momentum, in this case the expelled exhaust gases, as

F = \dfrac{d{p}}{d{t}} (1)

Assuming that the velocity remains constant then

F = \dfrac{d}{dt}(mv) = v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Solving for v, we get

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;(2)

Before we plug in the given values, we need to convert them first to their appropriate units:

The thrust <em>F</em><em> </em> is

F = 7.5×10^6\:\text{lbs}×\dfrac{4.45\:\text{N}}{1\:\text{lb}} = 3.34×10^7\:\text{N}

The exhaust rate dm/dt is

\dfrac{dm}{dt} = 15\dfrac{T}{s}×\dfrac{2000\:\text{lbs}}{1\:\text{T}}×\dfrac{1\:\text{kg}}{2.2\:\text{lbs}}

\;\;\;\;\;= 1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}

Therefore, the velocity at which the exhaust gases exit the engines is

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)} = \dfrac{3.34×10^7\:\text{N}}{1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}}

\;\;\;= 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}

Which best explains why people see carrots as orange
Andru [333]

Beta Carotene is the reason why a carrot is orange. Carotene is a color pigment that is found in large quantities in carrots and it has health benefits as well. The main health benefit of carotene is that our body converts it into vitamin A which is essential.
