Answer:

A-500 N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension in the chain is shown below

As we know that

F = ma

where

F denotes force

m denotes mass = 7

And, a denotes acceleration

Now for the acceleration we have to do the following calculations

The speed (v) of the hammer is

v = Angular speed × radius

where,

Angular seed = 2 × π ÷ Time Period

So, v = 2 × π × r ÷ P

v = 2 × 3.14 × 1.8 ÷ 1

= 11.304 m/s

Now

a = v^2 ÷ r

= 70.98912 m/s^2

Now the tension is

T = F = m × a

= 7 × 70.98912

= 496.92384 N

= 500 N

A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150 m with a maximum speed of 35.5 m/s. a) What is the coeff

Answer:

The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is <u>0.833</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m

Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s

Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".

As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.

The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.

Frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N$
