ElenaW [278]3 years ago
5 0

Given :

An inclined plane is used to lift a box into a moving truck. The ramp is 6 m long and 1.5 m.

To Find :

The mechanical advantage of the inclined plane.

Solution :

Mechanical advantage, M.A of an inclined plane is given by :

M.A = \dfrac{\text{Length of slope}}{\text{Height of plane}}

Putting given values in above equation, we get :

M.A = \dfrac{6 \ m}{1.5 \ m}\\\\M.A = 4

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane is 4.

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft    

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

    Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

     sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

    hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

    hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

    hyp = 636.6 ft

Determine the potential difference between the ends of the wire of resistance 5 Ω if 720 C passes through it per minute.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 5 ohms

Charge, q = 720 C

Time, t = 1 min = 60 s

We know that the charge flowing per unit charge is called current in the circuit. It is given by :

I = 12 A

Let V is the potential difference between the ends of a wire. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = IR

V = 60 Volts

So, the potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A uniform solid disk with a mass of 24.3 kg and a radius of 0.364 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axle. Forces of 90.0
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a. -12.7 Nm

b. -7.9 rad/s^2

Explanation:

I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.

Forces applied to the solid disk include:

F_1 = 90.0N\\F_2 = 125N

Other parameters given include:

Mass of solid disk, M = 24.3kg

and radius of solid disk, r = 0.364m

a.) The formula for determining torque (T), is T = r * F

Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

T = T_{125} + T_{90}\\= -r(125)sin90 + r(90)sin90\\= 0.364(-125 + 90)\\= -12.7 Nm

b.)  The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:

using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

I_{disk} = {\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2

where M = Mass of solid disk

and r = radius of solid disk

We then relate the torque and angular acceleration (\alpha) with the formula:

T = I\alpha \\-12.7 = ({\frac{1}{2}}Mr^2)\alpha \\\alpha  = -{\frac{12.7}{1.61}} = -7.9 rad/s^2
