The AMA is calculated as:
AMA = force obtained / force applied
AMA = 400 / 40
AMA = 10

Answer: 10 is the actual mechanical advantage of the crowbar.

Explanation:

Force exerted on the crowbar,Input forceF_I = = 40 N

Force exerted by the crowbar,Output force F_O  = 400 N

Actual Mechanical Advantage :

\frac{F_O}{F_I}=\frac{400 N}{40 N}=10

10 is the actual mechanical advantage of the crowbar.

Flura [38]

Answer:

<em>a. 0.33 Amp</em>

<em>b. 2.4 Volt</em>

<em>c. 0</em>

<em>d. 2.45 Amp</em>

<em>e. Infinite</em>

<em>f. Series is safer</em>

Explanation:

<u>Series Connection of Resistors</u>

When two or more resistors are connected in series, the current through each one of them is the same, and the voltage divides depending on the particular value of each resistance. If all the resistances are equal, then the voltage is equally divided.

a. The string of 50 bulbs is connected to a 120 VAC outlet and consumes 40 W. The power of a circuit is given by

P=V.I

Solving for I

\displaystyle I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{40}{120}=0.33\ Amp

Since all the bulbs are connected in series the current is the same for all of them.

b. The voltage is equally divided, so each bulb has  120/50= 2.4 V

c. If one of the bulbs burns out and its resistance becomes infinite, then the series circuit is open and no current flows through it, neither through the rest of the bulbs. The typical case of the whole string going out.

d. If one of the bulbs short circuits, the resistance of that bulb is zero and the voltage is distributed by the 49 remaining bulbs. Thus the new current is

\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{49}=2.45\ A

e. If the bulbs were connected in parallel, all of them would have the same voltage, and the total current will be equally divided among them. In that case, a short circuit in one of the bulbs will cause a parallel short, theoretically producing an infinite current and making the short circuit protection blow up.

f. The condition described above makes the strings be made of series-connected bulbs which is safer than the parallel circuit. If a single bulb shorts, the entire string goes out in a series connection, but the breaker would trigger disconnection of the house circuit if it's a parallel connection. That is why we must deal with unusable strings instead of burning cables.

Calculate curls of the following vector functions (a) AG) 4x3 - 2x2-yy + xz2 2
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The curl is 0 \hat x -z^2 \hat y -4xy \hat z

Explanation:

Given the vector function

\vec A (\vec r) =4x^3 \hat{x}-2x^2y \hat y+xz^2 \hat z

We can calculate the curl using the definition

\nabla \times \vec A (\vec r ) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat x&\hat y&\hat z\\\partial/\partial x&\partial/\partial y&\partial/\partial z\\A_x&X_y&A_z\end{array}\right|

Thus for the exercise we will have

\nabla \times \vec A (\vec r ) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat x&\hat y&\hat z\\\partial/\partial x&\partial/\partial y&\partial/\partial z\\4x^3&-2x^2y&xz^2\end{array}\right|

So we will get

\nabla  \times \vec A (\vec r )= \left( \cfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(xz^2)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial z}(-2x^2y)\right) \hat x - \left(\cfrac{\partial}{\partial x}(xz^2)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial z}(4x^3) \right) \hat y + \left(\cfrac{\partial}{\partial x}(-2x^2y)-\cfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(4x^3) \right) \hat z

Working with the partial derivatives we get the curl

\nabla  \times \vec A (\vec r )=0 \hat x -z^2 \hat y -4xy \hat z

Materials required for the experiment of limiting force borne by string:-

  1. String balance
  2. weights
  3. light strings
  4. weight hanger
  5. pan for spring balance
  6. Sand

Steps of procedure for for the experiment of limiting force borne by string:-

  1. First we have to tie a light string to the fixed support and then tie the other end with the weight hanger consists of weight.
  2. Add additional weight to the hanger again and again. And continue the same until the string is broken.
  3. Note down the weight (x) where the string is broken.
  4. Suspend spring balance to a support.
  5. Tie the light string at the end of the balance and at the other end suspend the pan for spring balance.
  6. Now place the weights (x-100 grams) in pan.
  7. Observe the reading in the spring balance.
  8. Add a small amount of sand in the pan by observing the readings.
  9. same is to be done till the string is broken.
