Consider a vertical elevator whose cabin has a total mass of 800 kg when fully loaded and 150 kg when empty. The weight of the e

levator cabin is partially balanced by a 400-kg counterweight that is connected to the top of the cabin by cables that pass through a pulley located on top of the elevator well. Neglecting the weight of the cables and assuming the guide rails and the pulleys to be frictionless, determine (a) the power required while the fully loaded cabin is rising at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s and (b) the power required while the empty cabin is descending at a constant speed of 1.2 m/s. What would your answer be to (a) if no counterweight were used? What would your answer be to (b) if a friction force of 800 N has developed between the cabin and the guide rails?

Answer:

Part a)

P = 4.71 \times 10^3 Watt

Part b)

P = 2.94 \times 10^3 W

Part c)

P = 9.4 \times 10^3 W

Part d)

P = 3.9 \times 10^3 W

Explanation:

Part a)

When cabin is fully loaded and it is carried upwards at constant speed

then we will have

net tension force in the rope = mg

T = (800)(9.81)

T = 7848 N

now it is partially counterbalanced by 400 kg weight

so net extra force required

F = 7848 - (400 \times 9.81)

F = 3924 N

now power required is given as

P = Fv

P = 3924 (1.2)

P = 4.71 \times 10^3 Watt

Part b)

When empty cabin is descending down with constant speed

so in that case the force balance is given as

F + (150 \times 9.8) = (400 \times 9.8)

F = 2450 N

now power required is

P = F.v

P = (2450)(1.2)

P = 2.94 \times 10^3 W

Part c)

If no counter weight is used here then for part a)

F = 7848 N

now power required is

P = F.v

P = 7848 (1.2)

P = 9.4 \times 10^3 W

Part d)

Now in part b) if friction force of 800 N act in opposite direction

then we have

F + (150 \times 9.8) = 800 +(400 \times 9.8)

F = 3250 N

now power is

P = (3250)(1.2)

P = 3.9 \times 10^3 W

Kay [80]

Explanation:

After some time t the current does not passing through the circuit

=>so the back emf is zero

=>here the inductor opposes decay of the circuit

- Ldi/dt = Ri

di/dt = - R/Li

di/i = - R/Ldt

now we applying the integration on both sides

log i=-R/Lt+C

here t=0=>i=io

Log io=C

=>Log i=-R/L*t + Log io

logi-Log io=-R/L*t

Log[i/io]=-R/L*t

i/io=e^-Rt/L

i=ioe^-Rt/L

the option D is correct

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Explanation:

I = 20KA = 20,000A

r = 4.9 m

how large a magnetic field would you experience =  u.I/2πr

how large a magnetic field would you experience = (4π x10∧-7) × 20000/2π × 4.9

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

you should begin viewing a bacteria specimen with what objective lens? view available hint(s)for part g you should begin viewing
Sergio039 [100]
  • Some people view bacteria specimens with a 100x objective lens in order to see the smallest details.
  • Others may use a 10x objective lens for more general purposes, such as examining stained slides or pictures.
  • And still others may use a 40x objective lens to gain maximum resolution when viewing images of thick samples.

It is important to choose the appropriate magnification for your needs so that you can properly examine the specimen under study.

<h3>Why is the 100x objective lens necessary to see bacteria?</h3>
  • Bacteria must, of course, be viewed at the maximum magnification and resolution possible because to their small size.
  • Due to optical restrictions, this is approximately 1000x in a light microscope.
  • To improve resolution, the oil immersion method is performed. This calls for a unique 100x objective.
