Answer:

W = 637 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law

         F -W = m a

where F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration

in this case the force is the weight of the body and as the elevator goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero

         F = W

         a = 0

       

          F = W

          W = m g

          W = 65 9.8

          W = 637 N

Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear or nonlinear square relationship?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90 cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at it
kupik [55]

Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg
