Realizing that she often doesn't have her students' full attention during class, a professor devises an elaborate device on whic

h to stand while she lectures. The pulley is placed so that the string makes a 45.0-degree angle with the beam. The beam is uniform, 5.00 meters long, and has weight. The professor stands 2.00 meters from the pivot point and has weight Wb. As an incentive to her students, the professor attaches a light basket to the center of mass of the beam and tells them that every student who gets an A on the next test gets to put a ball of mass 4 kilograms into the basket. There are enough students in the class that if a high percentage get A's, the weight of the basket will hoist the professor into the air. How many students have to get A's on the test to hoist the professor up into the air?

Answer:

i assume the system is in equilibrium

Explanation:

(W_p-T)(2)+W_b(2.5)= T(sin 45 degrees)(5)

T(((sin 45 degrees)(5)) + 2) = (W_p)(2) + W_b(2.5)= T(5.5355)

A spring oscillator is designed with a mass of 0.231 kg. It operates while immersed in a damping fluid, selected so that the osc
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

.487 s⁻¹

Explanation:

Let damping constant be τ . The equation of decreasing amplitude can be written as

A = A₀ e^{-\tau t

A / A₀ = e^{-\tau t

At t = 9.43 s , A / A₀ = .01

.01 = [e^{-\tau\times9.43

ln.01 = - 9.43 τ

-4.6 = -9.43τ

τ = .487 s⁻¹

Besides adding adaptive optics to a telescope, what else can be done to reduce the effects of seeing?
anyanavicka [17]
<span>There is an low cost and quickest alternative available for adaptive optics. Name of this technique is wavefront coding. The numerical analysis pretends to show the robustness of the technique under changes in pupil diameter and wavefront shape including intersubject and intrasubject variability, using always the same restoration filter or image decoder .Using this technique it is possible to obtain high resolution images under different ocular aberrations and pupil diameters with the same decoder, opening the possibility of real time high resolution images.</span>

How are the following mechanical characteristics of metals measured? (a) Stiffness (b) Strength (c) Ductility (d) Toughness (e)
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

(a) Stiffness is measured by Young modulus

(b) Strength is measured as tensile stress in force per unit area

(c) Ductility is measured by elongation and reduction of area.

(d) Toughness is measured by the amount of energy that a unit volume of the material has absorbed after being stressed up to the point of fracture.

(e) Hardness is obtained by measuring the size of the impression left by an indenter

Explanation:

Mechanical properties are helpful in determining whether or not a material can be produced in the desired shape and also resist the mechanical forces anticipated.

Given mechanical properties of metals and how they are measured is as follows:

(a) Stiffness is the ability of a material to resist deformation under stress. It is measured by Young modulus

(b) Strength is the ability of a material to resist the externally applied forces without breaking or yielding. It is measured as tensile stress in force per unit area

(c) Ductility is the property of a material enabling it to be drawn into a wire with the application of a tensile force. It is measured by elongation and reduction of area.

(d) Toughness is the property of a material to resist fracture due to high impact. It is measured by the amount of energy that a unit volume of the material has absorbed after being stressed up to the point of fracture.

(e) Hardness is the property of a metal, which gives it the ability to resist being permanently deformed, when a load is applied. It is obtained by measuring the size of the impression left by an indenter
