Length is not a vector because you only need to state a unit (etc. meters, centimetres, or feet) and not a direction

A simple pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet. The pendulum has a length of

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is 20 $m/sec^2$

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given length of the pendulum l = 2 m

Time period of the pendulum T = 2 sec

We have to find acceleration due to gravity g

We know that time period of pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

$2=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}$

$0.3184= \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}$

Squaring both side

$0.1014= {\frac{2}{g}}$

$g=19.71=20m/sec^2$

So acceleration due to gravity is 20 $m/sec^2$

So option (E) will be correct answer.

The horizontal beam in Fig. E11.14 weighs 190 N, and its center of gravity is at its center. Find (a) the tension in the cable a

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of beam= 190 N

Here, The center of gravity is at its center

According to figure,

The angle is

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}$

The horizontal component is

$T_{x}=T\cos\theta$

The vertical component is

$T_{y}=T\sin\theta$

(a). We need to calculate the tension in the cable

Using formula of net torque acting on the pivot

$\sum\tau=F_{b}\times r+F_{w}\times r'-T\sin \theta\times r'$

Put the value into the formula

$0=190\times2+300\times 4-T\sin\theta\times 4$

$T\sin\theta\times 4=380+1200$

$T=\dfrac{1580\times5}{3\times 4}$

$T=658.33\ N$

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of horizontal component

$F_{x}=T\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{x}=658.33\times\dfrac{4}{5}$

$F_{x}=526.66\ N$

(c). We need to calculate the vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of vertical component

$F_{y}=F_{b}+F_{w}-T\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{y}=190+300-658.33\times\dfrac{3}{5}$

$F_{y}=95.002\ N$

Hence, (a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

A man attempts to push a 19.8 kg crate across a warehouse floor. He slowly increases the force until the crate starts to move at

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

μ = 0.18

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical

Before starting to move the box

Y axis

N-W = 0

N = W = mg

X axis

F -fr = 0

F = fr

The friction force has the formula

fr = μ N

fr = μ m g

At the limit point just before starting the movement

F = μ m g

μ = F / m g

calculate

μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)

μ = 0.18

If a wave has amplitude of 2 meters, a wavelength of 2 meters, and a frequency of 10 Hz, and a period of 1 second, then at what

Serhud [2]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by:

$v=\lambda f$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

v is the speed

For the wave in this problem,

f = 10 Hz is the frequency

$\lambda=2 m$ is the wavelength

So the speed is

$v=(10 Hz)(2 m)=20 m/s$

List two fossil fuels. Describe in general how fossil fuels were formed.

stealth61 [152]

Coal and oil.... Fossil fuel is formed from decaying plants/animals who were buried and eventually converted to crude oil, gas by the exposure to heat and the pressure of the earths crust. This takes about 1 million years to happen.
