Answer:

<h2>980000ft-lbs</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of cable= 4lb/ft

mass of coal= 1000lb

dept of mine= 700ft

Step two:

Required

the work-done to lift the coal and the rope combined

Work-done to lift coal

Wc=1000*700= 700,000 lb-ft

Work-done to lift rope

Wr=\int\limits^{700} _0 {4(700-y)} \, dx \\\\Wr=4(700y-\frac{1}{2}y^2 )\limits^{700}_0

substitute y=700 we have, since y=0 will result to 0

Wr=4(700*700-\frac{1}{2}*700^2 )\\\\Wr=4(490000-245000)\\\\Wr=4(245000)\\\\Wr=980000ft-lbs

What is the passenger's apparent weight at t=1.0s?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

For the complete question provided in explanation, if the elevator moves upward, then the apparent weight will be 1035 N. While for downward motion the apparent weight will be 435 N.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question contains a velocity graph provided in the attachment. This is the velocity graph for an elevator having a passenger of 75 kg.

From the slope of graph it is clear that acceleration at t = 1 sec is given as:

Acceleration = a = (4-0)m/s / (1-0)s = 4 m/s^2

Now, there are two cases:

1- Elevator moving up

2- Elevator moving down

For upward motion:

Apparent Weight =  m(g + a)

Apparent Weight = (75 kg)(9.8 + 4)m/s^2

<u>Apparent Weight = 1035 N</u>

For downward motion:

Apparent Weight =  m(g - a)

Apparent Weight = (75 kg)(9.8 - 4)m/s^2

<u>Apparent Weight = 435 N</u>

liraira [26]
<span>First, she should put the sample in a test tube and place it in a centrifuge. This would cause the red blood cells to move to the bottom because of their higher density. Next, she would be able to decant the plasma and analyze it separately from the red blood cells.</span>
