Solution :

A vector is defined as an element that has magnitude of some measure and direction.

It is given there is vector 'd' which has magnitude 2.6 m and its direction is towards north.

a). -d

The magnitude of the vector '-d' is 2.6 m and its direction is reversed, i.e. its direction is towards south.

b). d/2.0

The magnitude of the vector 'd/2.0' is 1.3 m and its direction is towards north.

c). - 2.5d

The magnitude of the vector increases by 2.5 times i.e. 2.5 x 2.6 = 6.5 m and the direction is towards south.

d). 5.0d

The magnitude of the vector increases by 5 times i.e. 5 x 2.6 = 13 m and the direction is towards north.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle ( $v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}$ ):

$p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$ (1)

$p_{bottom}$ , $p_{top}$ - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\Delta h$ - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that $p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa$ , $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta h = 0.275\,m$ , then the pressure at the top of the step is:

$p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$

$p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)$

$p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa$

$p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa$

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end

sdas [7]

Answer: $0.8\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

length of wire $l=75\ cm$

change in length $\Delta l=1.85\ mm$

mass of wire $m=10\ kg$

Young's modulus for silver $E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2$

load on wire $F=mg$

$F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg$

change in length is given by

$\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}$

Where A=area of cross-section

$A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}$

$A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}$

$A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}$

$A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

$A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

$\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }$

$\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}$

$\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

$\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm$
