The upward force on each supporting plank is 200 N

<u>The given parameters include;</u>

  • weight of the plank, W₁ = 400 N
  • length of the plank, l = 2 m
  • upward force of each supporting plank, = W₂ and W₃

To show that the upward force of each supporting plank is 200 N, make the following sketch.

                 W₂                                                           W₃

                  ↑                                                              ↑                                                              

           -----------------------------------------------------------------------

              0.2m                         ↓                               0.2m

                                              400 N

  • The two supporting planks keeps the 2m plank in equilibrium position.
  • If the plank is in equilibrium position the sum of the upward forces equals sum of the downward force.

W₂  +   W₃ = 400 N

But the distance of each supporting plank from the end is equal, (0.2m).

Then, W₂  =  W₃

2W₂ = 400 N

W₂ = 400N/2

W₂ = 200 N

W₃ = 200 N

Therefore, the upward force on each supporting plank that keeps the plank in equilibrium position is 200 N.

azamat

Answer:

The direction of magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by the right hand thumb rule. If the thumb points in the direction of current the fingers curl along the direction of magnetic field.

further, The red end of the compass needle points in the direction of external magnetic field. As the red end of the needle is pointing away from us, the external magnetic field at its location should also be directed away from us. Using the right hand thumb rule, we can see that this is only possible if the current in the wire is flowing upwards.

A 0.23-f capacitor is desired. What area must the plates have if they are to be separated by a 3.8-mm air gap?
tia_tia [17]

The area of the plates must have is(A)= 9.91×10⁷ m²

<h3 /><h3>How can we calculate the value of a area of a capacitor?</h3>

To calculate the the value of a area of the plates of a capacitor, we are using the formula,

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

Or, A= \frac{C\times d}{\epsilon_0}

Here we are given,

C= The desired capacitance of a capacitor.

= 0.23F

d=distance of separation between the plates.

=3.8mm= 0.0038m.

\epsilon_0= permittivity of the vacuum.  

=8.854×10⁻¹²F/m

We have to calculate the area of the plates must have = A m².

Now we put the known values in the above equation, we can get

A= \frac{C\times d}{\epsilon_0}

Or, A=\frac{0.23\times 0.0038}{8.854\times 10^{-12}}

Or, A= 9.91×10⁷ m²

From the above calculation, we can conclude that the area of the plates must have is(A)= 9.91×10⁷m²
