Answer:

v = -0.45 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the canoe was initially at rest with momentum L = 0

and that the dog's velocity is in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

0 = 15(1.2) + 40v

v = -0.45 m/s

The horizontal beam in Fig. E11.14 weighs 190 N, and its center of gravity is at its center. Find (a) the tension in the cable a

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of beam= 190 N

Here, The center of gravity is at its center

According to figure,

The angle is

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}$

The horizontal component is

$T_{x}=T\cos\theta$

The vertical component is

$T_{y}=T\sin\theta$

(a). We need to calculate the tension in the cable

Using formula of net torque acting on the pivot

$\sum\tau=F_{b}\times r+F_{w}\times r'-T\sin \theta\times r'$

Put the value into the formula

$0=190\times2+300\times 4-T\sin\theta\times 4$

$T\sin\theta\times 4=380+1200$

$T=\dfrac{1580\times5}{3\times 4}$

$T=658.33\ N$

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of horizontal component

$F_{x}=T\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{x}=658.33\times\dfrac{4}{5}$

$F_{x}=526.66\ N$

(c). We need to calculate the vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of vertical component

$F_{y}=F_{b}+F_{w}-T\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{y}=190+300-658.33\times\dfrac{3}{5}$

$F_{y}=95.002\ N$

Hence, (a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

loris [4]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of options. However, one material that is good candidate for conducting electricity without reacting with other materials is metallic vanadium dioxide. This is because of the inability of this electrical conductor to conduct heat (an unusual property for all other electrical conductors) and thus makes it difficult for it to react with other materials (since an increase in temperature increases possibility of a reaction).
