Answer:

Tension in the cable = 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

Explanation:

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Weight of object in air = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

Since mass is not given, it is obtained from the formula, mass = density * volume

Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³ where r, radius = 2 m; π = 22/7

volume = 4/3 * 22/7 * (2m)³

volume of sphere = 33.52 m³

Density of concrete sphere = specific gravity * density of water

where, specific gravity = 2.8, density of water = 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete =  2.8 * 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete = 2800 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Thus, weight of concrete = 2800 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 919788.8 N

Upthrust = density of water * volume of sphere * g

Upthrust = 1000 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 328496 N

The tension in the cable is the calculated as below;

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Tension in cable = 919788.8 N - 328.496 N = 591292.8 N

Therefore, tension in the cable is 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two 2.7 cm -diameter electrodes spaced 1.4 mm apart. The electric field strength insid
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates is 8.4\times10^{3}\ V

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 1.4 mm

Electric field strength E= 6.0\times10^{6}\ N/C

Let the potential difference is V.

We need to calculate the potential difference between the plates

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

V=Ed

Where, V = potential

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

V=6.0\times10^{6}\times1.4\times10^{-3}

V=8.4\times10^{3}\ V

Hence, The potential difference between the plates is 8.4\times10^{3}\ V

1. Apply a constant force of 50 N directed to the right of the 50 kg Box. (2 pts)
kotegsom [21]

As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.

Then   friction force = 80 Newtons              but in the opposite direction.

Friction force =  Mu  * Normal force exerted by ground  =  Mu * weight of box

So we find Mu.

Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface

          = Force of friction / weight  =  80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163

When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is

      = Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons

Nitrogen at 100 kPa and 25oC in a rigid vessel is heated until its pressure is 300 kPa. Calculate (a) the work done and (b) the
nignag [31]

Answer:

A. The work done during the process is W = 0

B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Explanation:

Given Data

Initial pressure P_{1} = 100 k pa

Initial temperature T_{1} = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin

Final pressure P_{2} = 300 k pa

Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.

⇒ V_{1} = V_{2} ------------- (1)

Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

⇒ P ∝ T

⇒ \frac{P_{2} }{P_{1}} = \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1}}

⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature

⇒ T_{2} = \frac{300}{100} × 298

⇒ T_{2} = 894 Kelvin

(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × (V_{2} -V _{1})

From equation (1), V_{1} = V_{2} so work done W = P × 0 = 0

⇒ W = 0

Therefore the work done during the process is zero.

Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m C_{v} ( T_{2} -T_{1} )

Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg

C_{v} = specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743 \frac{KJ}{kg k}

Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )

⇒ Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}

Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83 \frac{KJ}{kg}
