A group of students collected the data shown below while attempting to measure the coefficient of static friction (of course, it

looks like this group varied the amount of mass sitting on the block with each trial - this is not recommended). Nonetheless, what is their average coefficient of static friction?
Trial Mass of block (g) Hanging mass (kg)
1 105 0.053
2 165 0.081
3 220 0.118
4 280 0.149
5 315 0.180
6 385 0.198

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

From the given data, the coefficient of static friction for each trial are:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

The sum of the coefficient of static friction = 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

= 0.779

So that;

the average coefficient of static friction = $\frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}$

= $\frac{0.779}{6}$

= 0.12983

The average coefficient of static friction is 0.130

Answer:

$Xl=wL=69.11503383 ohm$

$Xc=\frac{-1}{wC}= -578.7452476 ohm$

$Z=\frac{240}{140*10^-3}=1.714285714 kilo-ohm$

$R=2.223915928 kilo-ohm$

$\alpha = -12.90698798 centigrades$

Explanation:

$L=220*10^-3$

$C=5.50*10^-6$

$Vmax=240V$

$Imax=140*10^-3$

$w=2\pi f=2\pi *50=314.1592654$

The capacitive reactance is given by:

$Xc=\frac{-1}{wC}=-578.7452476 ohm$

Now, The inductive reactance is given by:

$Xl=wL=69.11503383 ohm$

By the ohm´s law, the electrical impedance is:

$V=IZ$

So

$Z=\frac{V}{I}$

$Z=\frac{240}{140*10^-3}=1.714285714 kilo-ohm$

The total impedance is:

$Z=R+jX\\\\$ (*)

Where X is the total reactance given by:

$X=Xl+Xc=69.11503383-578.7452476=-509.6302138$

Let´s calculate the real part of Z using (*):

$R=1714.285714+509.6302138$

$R=2.223915928 kilo-ohm$

Finally the angle between the current and the voltage is equal to the impedance angle:

$\alpha=arctan(\frac{-509.6302138}{2223.915928})$

$\alpha =-12.90698798 centigrades$
