Answer:
Explanation:
Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers
so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin
now the maximum height on the either side is given as
horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as
now from the equation of parabola we have
now we have
now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center
so we have
Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:
(1)
With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:
(2)
(3)
On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:
Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):
(4)
Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)
Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:
The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling
The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:
with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:
Where r is the radius of balloon.
Here mass of woman = 68 kg
Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V
Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V
Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V
Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V
So we have 1.112 V = 68+ 0.178*V
0.934 V = 68
V = 72.81
\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81
r = 2.59 m
So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m
