One block rests upon a horizontal surface. A second identical block rests upon the first one. The coefficient of static friction

between the blocks is the same as the coefficient of static friction between the lower block and the horizontal surface. A horizontal force is applied to the upper block, and its magnitude is slowly increased. When the force reaches 52.1 N, the upper block just begins to slide. The force is then removed from the upper block, and the blocks are returned to their original configuration. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force that should be applied to the lower block, so that it just begins to slide out from under the upper block

Answer:

F = 156.3 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the top block, apply Newton's second law

         F - fr = 0

         F = fr

         fr = 52.1 N

Now we can work  with the bottom block

In this case we have two friction forces, one between the two blocks and the other between the block and the surface. In the exercise, indicate that the two friction coefficients are equal

we apply Newton's second law

Y axis

        N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

        N = W₁ + W₂

as the two blocks are identical

        N = 2W

X axis

        F - fr₁ - fr₂ = 0

        F = fr₁ + fr₂

indicates that the lower block is moving below block 1, therefore the upper friction force is

          fr₁ = 52.1 N

          fr₁ = μ N

a

s the normal in the lower block of twice the friction force is

          fr₂ = μ 2N

          fr₂ = 2 μ N

          fr₂ = 2 fr₁

we substitute

          F = fr₁ + 2 fr₁

          F = 3 fr₁

          F = 3  52.1

          F = 156.3 N

Answer:

Depending on where people are located in the world (Northern hemisphere, Southern hemisphere, etc) depends on the difference in direction (North, South, east, West) which is most likely why it'd look different.

Explanation:

I dunno if this is along the lines of an answer you're looking for, but hope this helps :)

Dissolving common salt in water is physical or chemical change?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: Physical

Explanation: There are no changes being done to the salt. Think of it this way, if you dissolve the salt in water then boil the water completely, you will have the same salt you started with.

A long straight wire carries a conventional current of 0.7 A. What is the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at a locat
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a long straight wire carrying current is given by Biot-Savart law as follows: "The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the current on the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire". This can be written mathematically as;

B = (μ₀ I) / (2π r)                ----------------(i)

B is magnetic field

I is current through the wire

r is the distance from the wire

μ₀  is the magnetic constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷Hm⁻¹

From the question;

I = 0.7A

r = 0.053m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

B =  (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 0.7) / (2π x 0.053)

B = 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

Therefore the approximate magnitude of the magnetic field at that location is 2.64 x 10⁻⁶T

What is the mechanism of hydraulic machine ​
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The hydraulic press allows the applied force (F1) to be converted into a higher force (F2) along some path as many times as the surface of the driven hydraulic cylinder (A2) is larger than the surface of the driving hydraulic cylinder (A1). The hydraulic press works on the basis of Pascal's law, which reads: External pressure is transmitted through the fluids equally in all directions.
