Answer:

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a sketch of how will be the semicircle, for this reason we conducted an internet search, to find the scheme of the problem. This scheme is attached in the first image.

Then we make a free body diagram, with this free body diagram, we raise the forces that act on the body. Since it is a problem involving static equilibrium, the sum of forces in any direction and moments must be equal to zero.

By performing a sum of forces on the Y axis equal to zero we can find an equation that relates the forces of tension T1 & T2.

The second equation can be determined by summing moments equal to zero, around the point of application of the T1 force. In this way we find the T2 force.

The value of T2, is replaced in the first equation and we can find the value for T1.

Therefore

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

The free body diagram and the developed equations can be seen in the second attached image.

What mass of a material with density rho is required to make a hollow spherical shell having inner radius r1 and outer radius r2

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3 )$

Explanation:

We have to make a hollow sphere of inner radius $r_1$ and outer radius $r_2$ .

Then the mass of the material required to make such a sphere would be calculated as:

Total volume of the spherical shell:

$V_t=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_2^3$

And the volume of the hollow space in the sphere:

$V_h=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_1^3$

Therefore the net volume of material required to make the sphere:

$V=V_t-V_h$

$V=\frac{4}{3} \pi(r_2^3-r_1^3)$

Now let the density of the of the material be $\rho$ .

<u>Then the mass of the material used is:</u>

$m=\rho.V$

$m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3 )$

An astronaut is taking a space walk near the shuttle when her safety tether breaks. what should the astronaut do to get back to

sergeinik [125]

The best way in handling in this situation is that in order for the astronaut to be able to get back to the shuttle is that he or she should take an object from his or her tool belt and to be thrown out away from the shuttle. This will allow her to weight lightly and safely return to the shuttle and would be easier for his or her to do so.
