Answer:

T = 18.529 KN

Explanation:

We are given that;

Mass; m = 1683 kg

Upwards, acceleration; a = 1.2 m/s²

Downwards, acceleration due to gravity; g = 9.81 m/s²

Time; t = 2.75s

Now, The tension in the cable exerts a force up while gravity exerts a force down. The mass has an upward acceleration and thus, there are no horizontal forces.

We will take up as positive.

Thus,

Fnet is given as; F = T - W

W = mg while F = ma. and so,

ma = T - mg

Where t is Tension in cable.

Thus,

T = ma + mg

T = m(a + g)

T = 1683(1.2 + 9.81)

T = 1683(11.01) = 18529N = 18.529 KN

Answer:

the tension is 18513N

Explanation:

Given that

mass = 1683kg

acceleration = 1.2m/s^2

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

T-mg =   ma

T = ma + mg

T = m(a +g)

T = 1683 kg(1.20 m/s2 + 9.8)

T = 1683 (11)

T = 18513N

therefore, the tension is 18513N

The voltage of electricity traveling away from a power plant is very high. How high may it be? Why is the voltage so high?
sashaice [31]
- The voltage travelling away from a power plant through transmission lines is very high, and it is typically of hundreds of kilovolts (typical values are between 138 kV and 765 kV).

- The main reason to use these high values of voltage is to reduce power dissipation.
In fact, the cables that are used to transmit electricity have a certain resistance R which is fixed. The power generated from the power plant and that should be transmitted through the lines is P, and it is also fixed. 
The power dissipated through the cables is calculated as
P_{diss}=I^2 R =  (\frac{P}{V} )^2 R
where I is the current and V the voltage.
As it  can be seen, using higher voltages reduce the amount of power dissipated through the lines (while using higher currents will have the opposite effect).
