A crate with a mass of 193.5 kg is suspended from the end of a uniform boom with a mass of 91.7 kg. The upper end of the boom is

supported by a cable attached to the wall and the lower end by a pivot (marked X) on the same wall. Calculate the tension in the cable.

Answer:

2538.72 N

Explanation:

Given data:

There are some missing values, so, I will assume them, and then you affix them. It's basically just substitution....

m₁ = mass of crate = 193.5 kg

m₂ = mass of the boom = 91.7 kg

g = acceleration by gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = length of the boom

θ = angle of the boom to the horizontal

φ = angle of the cable to horizontal

Solution:

I'm assuming that

tan (θ) = 6/12 = 0.5

This then makes

θ = arctan(0.5)= 26.57°

The second and last assumption I'm making is that

tan(φ) = 3/12 = 0.25

This also makes

φ = arctan(0.25) = 14.04°

Now, since the system is in equilibrium, the magnitude of clockwise torque has to be equal to anticlockwise torque. This means that

m₁ * g * cos(θ) *L/2 + m₂ * g *cos(θ) * L = T * sin(θ+φ) * L

(m₁/2 + m₂) * g * cos(θ) = T * sin(θ+φ), making T subject of formula, we have

T = (m₁/2 + m₂) * g * cos(θ) / sin(θ + φ)

T = [(193.5)/2 + (91.7)] * (9.81) * cos(26.57°) / sin(26.7°) + (14.04°))

T = [(96.75 + 91.7) * 9.81 * 0.894] / 0.651

T = 188.45 * 8.77 / 0.651

T = 1652.7065 / 0.651

T = 2538.72 N

You are observing the radiation from a distant active galaxy and you notice that the amplitude of the signal varies in strength
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Period of the signal.

Explanation:

So, this question is all about a concept in physics or astronomy which is called or known as Radiation Astronomy and Galactic Nuclei that are active. This concept talks most about Quasars; a powerful radiating object which derives its power from black holes.

When You take a look at Quasars, we get the to know that the more you think you can see, the more they move away from us.

Thus, when "You are observing the radiation from a distant active galaxy and you notice that the amplitude of the signal varies in strength regularly over a certain period. The maximum possible size for the source of this radiation can now be calculated from the "PERIOD OF THE SIGNAL.

NB: not the amplitude but the period.
