A large crane consists of a 20 m, 3,000 kg arm that extends horizontally on top of a vertical tower. The arm extends 15 m toward

s the lifting end and 5 m towards the counterweight. If the crane is to lift a 5,000 kg load, what must the weight of the counterweight be in order to maintain static equilibrium

Answer:

$m=18000kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Crane Length $l=20m$

Crane Mass $m_a=3000kg$

Arm extension at lifting end $l_l=15m$

Arm extension at counter weight end $l_c=5m$

Load $M_l=5000kg$

Generally the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

$T_1 *l_c-(m_a*g) *l_c-(T_2)*l_l=0$

$mg*5 *-(3000*9.8) *5-(5000*9.8)*15=0$

$m=18000kg$

A school bus moves at speed of 35mi/he for 20miles. How long will it take for the bus to get to school

lara [203]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.57 hours

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the school bus, v = 35 mi/hr

Distance covered by the bus, d = 20 miles

We need to find the time taken by the bus to get to school. Time taken by the bus is given by :

t = 0.57 hours

So, the time taken by the bus to reach school is 0.57 hours. Hence, this is the required solution.

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.048 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.50 m away are 8.5 cm apart n

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The wavelength is $\lambda = 6.28 *10^{-7}=628 nm$

The frequency is $f = 4.78 Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The slit distance is $d = 0.048 \ mm = 4.8 *0^{-5}\ m$

The distance from the screen is $D = 6.50 \ m$

The distance between fringes is $Y = 8.5 \ cm = 0.085 \ m$

Generally the distance between the fringes for a two slit interference is mathematically represented as

$Y = \frac{\lambda * D}{d}$

=> $\lambda = \frac{Y * d }{D}$

substituting values

$\lambda = \frac{0.085 * 4.8*10^{-5} }{6.50 }$

$\lambda = 6.27 *10^{-7}=628 nm$

Generally the frequency of the light is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda }$

where c is the speed of light with values

$c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

substituting values

$f = \frac{3.0*10^8}{6.28 *10^{-7}}$

$f = 4.78 Hz$

The first wave that forms when the wind begins to blow across the ocean surface is a ________.

seraphim [82]

The first wave that forms when the wind begins to blow across the ocean surface is a <u>capillary wave</u>

The capillary waves represent the initial state of a wave that are produced by vortices in a flat sea. When the winds blow over an ocean, energy is transferred from the wind to the sea. and that produced the waves. They are also presented as ripples.

The capillary waves have a wavelength less than 1.7 cm or 0.68 inches and its speed of 0.2 to 0.3 meter per second.

<h3>What is a capillary wave?</h3>

It is a wave that is travelling along the interface boundary of a fluid and it is influenced by the effect of surface tension and the gravity.
