A circus tightrope walker weighing 800 N is standing in the middle of a 15 meter long cable stretched between two posts. The cab

le was originally horizontal. The lowest point of the cable is now at his feet and is 30 cm below the horizontal. Assume the cable is massless. What is the tension in the cable

Answer:

T = 10010 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the translational equilibrium relation, let's set a reference frame

X axis

       Fₓ-Fₓ = 0

       Fₓ = Fₓ

whereby the horizontal components of the tension in the cable cancel

Y Axis  

        F_{y} + F_{y} - W =0

        2F_{y} = W

let's use trigonometry to find the angles

        tan θ = y / x

        θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 L)

        θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 15)

        θ = 2.29º

the components of stress are

         F_{y} = T sin θ

we substitute

       2 T sin θ = W

       T = W / 2sin θ

        T = \frac{ 800}{ 2sin 2.29}

        T = 10010 N

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Corpus callosum

Explanation:

The corpus callosum is the tissue in the brain that helps in the connection between the right and left cerebral hemisphere.

The corpus callosum consists of about 200 million axons of thick nerve cells which helps in combining sensory and cognitive signals between the two hemispheres.

Almost everyone is born with this tissue because an absence of deficiency of it results in serious neurological problems such as difficulty in learning and other cognitive related diseases.

the specific heat of water is 4.2 j/c. if it takes 31,500 joules to heat to warm 750 g of water, what was the temperature change
defon
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
C_s the specific heat capacity
\Delta T the increase in temperature

In our problem, the mass of the water is m=750 g, the specific heat is C_s = 4.2 J/g ^{\circ}C and the amount of heat supplied is Q=31500 J, so if we re-arrange the previous formula we find the increase in temperature of the water:
\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}= \frac{31500 J}{(750 g)(4.20 J/g^{\circ} C)}=10^{\circ}C
