Answer:

T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN

Explanation:

The tension in the cable must be equal to the apparent weight of the passenger. For upward acceleration:

T = W_A = m(g+a)\\

where,

T = Tension in cable = ?

W_A = Apparent weight

m = mass = 1603 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = acceleration of elevator = 1.2 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (1603\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2+1.2\ m/s^2)\\\\

<u>T = 17649.03 N = 17.65 KN</u>

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

There are three forces acting on the piston

1. force due to atmospheric pressure = F1 downward

2. force due to gaseous pressure = F2 upward

3. force due to the weight placed on the piston = F3 = mg downward

As the piston is in equilibrium condition, so the net force on the piston is zero.

The world record for the 100.0 meter dash is 9.580 seconds. Find the speed of the runner in miles per hour.
grigory [225]

Answer:

233.1 miles per hours

Explanation:

Speed: This is defined as the ratio of distance to time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s. speed is a vector quantity because it can only be represented by magnitude only. Mathematically, speed can be expressed as,

S = d/t ....................... Equation 1

Where S = speed of the runner, d = distance covered, t = time.

Given: d = 100 meter , t = 9.580 seconds

Conversion:

If, 1 meter =  0.00062 miles

Then, 100 meters = (0.00062×100) miles = 0.62 miles.

Also

If, 3600 s = 1 h

Then, 9.580 s = (1×9.580)/3600 = 0.00266 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

S = 0.62/0.00266

S = 233.1 miles per hours.

Hence the runner speed is 233.1 miles per hours
