Two rods are made of brass and have the same length. The cross section of one of the rods is circular, with a diameter of 2a. Th

e other rod has a square cross section, where each side of the square is a length 2a. One end of the rods is attached to an immovable fixture which allows the rods to hang vertically. To the free end of each rod, a block of mass m is attached. Which rod, if either, will stretch more after the block is attached?
A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

B. The one with the square cross section will stretch more.

C. Both will stretch by the same amount.

D. One cannot say which will stretch more without knowing the numerical values of a and m.

Answer:

A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

Explanation:

According to the given data:

Two rods are made of brass and have the same length

Both rods having circular and square cross-section

Diameter of circular cross-section given is 2 a

therefore, Cross-section = A_c=\frac{\pi (2a)^2}{4}=\pi a^2

If the length of square=2 a

then, Cross-section = A_{s} = (2a)²=>4a²

Change in Length of rod = PL / AE

δL\alpha \frac{1}{A}

Now, we are considering other factors same

the area of cross-section of square rod is more than Area of cross-section of circular rod

thus, the one with the circular cross section will stretch more

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The one with the circular cross section will stretch more.

Explanation:

Here we have the cross section as being

1. Circular, with diameter, D = 2·a

2. Square cross section with each side  length = 2·a

The area of the circular rod is then

Area of circle = π·D²/4 which is equal to

π×(2·a)²/4 = π·4·a²/4 = π·a²

The area of the rod with square cross section is

Area of square = Side² which gives

Area of cross section = (2·a)² = 4·a²

Therefore, since π = 3.142, the cross sectional area of the circular rod is less than that of the one with a square cross section

That is,  π·a² = 3.142·a² < 4·a²

We note that the elongation or extension is directly proportional to the force applied as shown as follows

\frac{P}{A} = E\frac{\delta}{L}

Where:

P/A = Force and

δ = Extension

The force is inversely proportional to the area, therefore a rod with less cross sectional area experiences more force and more elongation.

Tourists covered 255 km for a 4-hour ride by car and a 7-hour ride by train. what is the speed of the train, if it is 5 km/h gre
LekaFEV [45]
The distance covered by car is equal to (assuming it is moving by uniform motion) the product between the car's speed and the time of the car ride, 4 h:
S_c = v_c t_c
where
v_c is the car's speed
t_c = 4 h is the duration of the car ride

Similarly, the distance covered by train is equal to the product between the train's speed and the duration of the train ride, 7 h:
S_t = v_t t_t

The total distance covered is S=255 km, which is the sum of the distances covered by car and train:
S=255 km = S_c + S_t
which becomes
255 = 4 v_c + 7 v_t (1)
we also know that the train speed is 5 km/h greater than the car's speed:
v_t = 5 + v_c (2)

If we put (2) into (1), we find
255 = 4v_c + 7(5+v_c)
and if we solve it, we find
v_c = 20 km/h
v_t = 25 km/h

So, the car speed is 20 km/h and the train speed is 25 km/h.

three condensers are connected in series across a 150 volt supply. The voltages across them are 40,50 and 60 volts respectively,
ioda

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltages across them are 40,50 and 60 volts respectively, and the charge on each condenser is 6×10⁻⁸ C.

(a) Capacitance of capacitor 1,

C_1=\dfrac{Q}{V_1}\\\\C_1=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{40}\\\\C_1=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_1=1.5\ nF

Capacitance of capacitor 2,

C_2=\dfrac{Q}{V_2}\\\\C_2=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{50}\\\\C_2=1.2\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_2=1.2\ nF

Capacitance of capacitor 3,

C_3=\dfrac{Q}{V_3}\\\\C_3=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{60}\\\\C_3=1\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_3=1\ nF

(b) The equivalent capacitance in series combination is :

\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{C_1}+\dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}\\\\\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{1}\\\\C=0.4\ nF

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much energy (in kilojoules) is required to convert 200 mL of diethyl ether at its boiling point from liquid to vapor if its
LiRa [457]

Answer:

55.96kJ

Explanation:

Energy = mass of diethyl ether × enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether

Volume (v) = 200mL, density (d) = 0.7138g/mL

Mass = d × v = 0.7138 × 200 = 142.76g

Enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether = 29kJ/mol

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5)2O = 74g/mol

Enthalpy in kJ/g = 29kJ/mol ÷ 74g/mol = 0.392kJ/g

Energy = 142.76g × 0.392kJ/g = 55.96kJ
