Answer:

The answer to your question is: 209 m

Explanation:

Data

length = 253 m

d = 55.8°

y - component = ?

Formula

To solve this problem we need to use a right triangle a the trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent, etc)

Now we have to choose among the trigonometric functions which one to use that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse.

And that one is sineФ = os/h

we clear os = sineФ x h

os = sine 55.8 x253

os = 209 m

A wave with a frequency of 60 Hz is traveling along a string whose linear mass density is 230 g/m and whose tension is 65 N. If

matrenka [14]

To develop this problem we will use the concepts related to Speed in a string that is governed by Tension (T) and linear density (µ)

$V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

Our values are given as:

$f = 60Hz\\\mu = 230 g/m = 0.230kg/m\\T = 65N\\P = 75w$

Replacing we have that the velocity is

$V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$V = \sqrt{\frac{65}{0.230}}$

$V = 16.81m/s$

From the theory of wave propagation the average power wave is given as

$P =\frac{1}{2} \mu \omega^2 A^2 V$

Where,

A = Amplitude

$\omega = 2\pi f \rightarrow$ Angular velocity

$A^2 = \frac{2P}{\mu \omega^2 V}$

$A^2 = \frac{2P}{\mu (2\pi f)^2 V}$

Replacing,

$A^2 = \sqrt{\frac{2(75)}{(0.230)(2\pi 60)^2(16.81)}}$

$A = 0.0165m$

Therefore the amplitude of the wave should be 0.0165m

The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.6 square inches. If a force of 5.6 lb

balu736 [363]

Answer:

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

Explanation:

Force applied on the piston = $F_1=5.6 lb$

Area of the piston = $A_1=0.6 inches^2$

Force applied on the brakes = $F_2$

Area of the brakes = $A_2=1.8 inches^2$

Applying Pascal's law: 'For an incompressible fluid pressure at one surface is equal to the pressure at other surface'.

$\frac{F_1}{A_2}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}$

$F_2=\frac{5.6 lb\times 1.8 inhes^2}{0.6 inches^2}=16.8 lb$

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.
