Answer:

<em>The force exerted by each string is 25 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

The net force is the vector sum of forces acting on a body. The net force is a single force that represents the effect of the original forces on the body's motion. It gives the particle the same acceleration as all those actual forces together as described by Newton's second law of motion.

The picture described in the problem is hanging at rest supported by two vertical strings. This means that the net force acting on it is zero.

Assume the magnitude of each of these equal forces is F, and the picture has a weight of W=50 N, thus the net force is:

F + F - W

The positive signs indicate an upwards direction and the negative sign means a downwards direction. Since the net force is zero:

F + F - W = 0

2F = W

F = W/2 = 50 N/2

F = 25 N

The force exerted by each string is 25 N

An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The power output of this engine is  P =  17.5 W

The  the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is  \eta_c  = 0.7424

The  actual efficiency of this engine is  \eta _a  = 0.46

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The temperature of the hot reservoir is  T_h = 1250 \ K

      The temperature of the cold reservoir  is  T_c  =  322 \ K

     The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is E_h  = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J

       The energy exhausts into  cold reservoir is  E_c  = 7.4 *10^{4} J

The power output is mathematically represented as

      P  =  \frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour =  3600 s  

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

      W =  E_h  -E_c

substituting values

       W = 63000 J

So

    P =  \frac{63000}{3600}

    P =  17.5 W

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

          \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}

         \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{322}{1250}

         \eta_c  = 0.7424

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

        \eta _a  =   \frac{W}{E_h}

substituting values

         \eta _a  =  \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}

         \eta _a  = 0.46
