Complete question is;

A copper wire has a diameter of 4.00 × 10^(-2) inches and is originally 10.0 ft long. What is the greatest load that can be supported by this wire without exceeding its elastic limit? Use the value of 2.30 × 10⁴ lb/in² for the elastic limit of copper.

Answer:

F_max = 28.9 lbf

Explanation:

Elastic limit is simply the maximum amount of stress that can be applied to the wire before it permanently deform.

Thus;

Elastic limit = Max stress

Formula for max stress is;

Max stress = F_max/A

Thus;

Elastic limit = F_max/A

F_max is maximum load

A is area = πr²

We have diameter; d = 4 × 10^(-2) inches = 0.04 in

Radius; r = d/2 = 0.04/2 = 0.02

Plugging in the relevant values into the elastic limit equation, we have;

2.30 × 10⁴ = F_max/(π × 0.02²)

F_max = 2.30 × 10⁴ × (π × 0.02²)

F_max = 28.9 lbf

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of the following free body diagram.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Explanation:

First, we must calculate the resultant force (\vec F), in newtons, by vectorial sum:

\vec F = [(-200\,N)\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}+(400\,N)\cdot \cos 45^{\circ}+300\,N]\,\hat{i} + [(200\,N)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ} + (400\,N)\cdot \sin 45^{\circ}-100\,N]\,\hat{j} (1)

\vec F = 182.843\,\hat{i} + 356.048\,\hat{j}

Second, we calculate the magnitude of the resultant force by Pythagorean Theorem:

\|\vec F\| = \sqrt{(482.843\,N)^{2}+(356.048\,N)^{2}}

\|\vec F\| \approx 599.923\,N

Let suppose that direction of the resultant force is an standard angle. According to (1), the resultant force is set in the first quadrant:

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{356.048\,N}{482.843\,N} \right)

Where \theta is the direction of the resultant force, in sexagesimal degrees.

\theta \approx 36.405^{\circ}

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.4 m from the center of the ride. The operator turns on the ride and
monitta

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction is 0.29

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m

The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.

We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.

\mu mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is the speed of cat, v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}

\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2r}{gt^2}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 4.4}{9.8\times (7.7)^2}\\\\\mu=0.29

So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.

How much heat is needed to change 1.25 kg of steak at 100°C to water at 100°C?
cricket20 [7]

The heat required to change 1.25 kg of steak is 2825 kJ /kg.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given, mass m = 1.25 kg,     Temperature t = 100 degree celsius

To calculate the heat required,

                                 Q = m \times L

where m represents the mass in kg,

          L represents the heat of vaporization.

When a material in the liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor and the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of the vaporization. The heat of vaporization of the water is about 2260 kJ/kg.

                                  Q = 1.25 \times 2260

                                  Q = 2825 kJ /kg.

Not sure if it went through last time. Please help asap!
Olin [163]
The equation for force is F=ma. Because we have the value of mass (0.42 kg) and the acceleration (14.8 m/s^2), simply plug them into the equation for force to get
0.42 \times 14.8 = 6.22
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.

already did the work, i just need someone to see if i did the tangent line right? the line has to touch the point 0.6! thank you
Dmitrij [34]

The tangent looks good.

The curve is a bit crooked, at the 0.9 and 1.

But overall, cool graph.
