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.

Define the law of universal gravitation in your own words.

Firdavs [7]

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc

balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air $n_{\text{air}}$ is approximately $1.00$ .

Let $n_\text{glass}$ denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let $\theta _{\text{glass}}$ denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let $\theta_\text{air}$ denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

$n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})$ .

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

$\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

A source emits sound uniformly in all directions. There are no reflections of the sound. At a distance of 12 m from the source,

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1.58 W

Explanation:

Since the sound spreads uniformly in all directions, it must be in a form of a circle with radius of 12 m. So the area of the circle is

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi 12^2 = 452.389 m^2$

From the intensity of the sound we can calculate the power at 12 m

$P = AI = 452.389 * 3.5\times10^{-3} = 1.58 W$
