Given

Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and block B, Fs = µsN, where N is reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA + mB)a,

 

6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a

 

2.173a = 6

 

A = 2.76 ft/s^2

 

To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:

P – Ff = mAaA

6 – Ff = 1.71

Ff = 4.29 lb

 

And also,

N = wA. We know static friction,

Fs = µsN

Fs = 0.4 x 20

Fs = 8lb

Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs

<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>

A body which has surface area 5cm² and temperature of 727°C radiates 300J of energy in one minute. Calculate it's emissivity giv
cestrela7 [59]
<h2>Answer: 0.17</h2>

Explanation:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":  

P=\sigma A T^{4} (1)  

Where:  

P=300J/min=5J/s=5W is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing 1W=\frac{1Joule}{second}=1\frac{J}{s}

\sigma=5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}} is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.  

A=5cm^{2}=0.0005m^{2} is the Surface area of the body  

T=727\°C=1000.15K is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.

However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close.  So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:

P=\sigma A \epsilon T^{4} (2)  

Where \epsilon is the body's emissivity

(the value we want to find)

Isolating \epsilon from (2):

\epsilon=\frac{P}{\sigma A T^{4}} (3)  

Solving:

\epsilon=\frac{5W}{(5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}})(0.0005m^{2})(1000.15K)^{4}} (4)  

Finally:

\epsilon=0.17 (5)  This is the body's emissivity
