Answer:

Yes the tile can withstand a force 5 N

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting the dimensions from cm to in. This can be obtained as follow:

Dimension = 50 cm x 50cm

Recall

2.54 cm = 1 in

Therefore,

50 cm = 50 cm × 1 in / 2.54 cm

50 cm = 19.685 in

Thus, the dimension becomes:

Dimension = 19.685 in × 19.685 in

Next, we shall determine the area. This can be obtained as follow:

Dimension = 19.685 in × 19.685 in

Area = 19.685 in × 19.685 in

Area = 387.5 in²

Next, we shall determine the force to which the tile can withstand. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 40 N/in²

Area (A) = 387.5 in²

Force (F) =?

P = F/A

40 = F/387.5

Cross multiply

F = 40 × 387.5

F = 15500 N

Thus, the tile can withstand a force up to 15500 N.

Therefore, the answer to the question is:

Yes the tile can withstand a force 5 N

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

$E_1 = E_2$

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

$\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}$

now we will have

$\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}$

now square root both sides

$\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}$

now we have

$\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1$

so we have

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 514 N. As the drawing sh

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$T_L = 155.4 N$

Part b)

$T_R = 379 N$

Explanation:

As we know that mountain climber is at rest so net force on it must be zero

So we will have force balance in X direction

$T_L cos65 = T_R cos80$

$T_L = 0.41 T_R$

now we will have force balance in Y direction

$mg = T_L sin65 + T_Rsin80$

$514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985T_R$

Part a)

so from above equations we have

$514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985(\frac{T_L}{0.41})$

$514 = 3.3 T_L$

$T_L = 155.4 N$

Part b)

Now for tension in right string we will have

$T_R = \frac{T_L}{0.41}$

$T_R = 379 N$
