Answer:

Length of cable = 16.7 m

Distance from ground = 15.4

New angle between pole and cable = 58.5 degrees

Explanation:

The flagpole forms a right-angled triangle with the cable and the ground.

Let the adjacent side be the flagpole, the hypotenuse be the cable and the ground be the opposite side.

hypotenuse = h

adjacent = 6.8 m

distance from ground = d

angle = 66.0

cos 66 = 6.8/h

h = 6.8/cos 66

h = 16.7 m

tan 66 = d /6.8

d = 6.8 * tan 66

d = 15.3 m

If the cable is brought 4.2 m closer to the pole, new distance = 15.3 - 4.2 = 11.1 m

let new angle be x

tan x = 11.1/6.8

x = tan⁻¹ (11.1/6.8)

x = 58.5 degrees

Milk with a density of 1020 kg/m3 is transported on a level road in a 9-m-long, 3-m-diameter cylindrical tanker. The tanker is c
jeka57 [31]

Solution :

Given data is :

Density of the milk in the tank, $\rho = 1020 \ kg/m^3$

Length of the tank, x = 9 m

Height of the tank, z = 3 m

Acceleration of the tank, $a_x = 2.5 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the pressure difference between the two points is given by :

$P_2-P_1 = -\rho a_x x - \rho(g+a)z$

Since the tank is completely filled with milk, the vertical acceleration is $a_z = 0$

$P_2-P_1 = -\rho a_x x- \rho g z$

Therefore substituting, we get

$P_2-P_1=-(1020 \times 2.5 \times 7) - (1020 \times 9.81 \times 3)$

           $=-17850 - 30018.6$

           $=-47868.6 \ Pa$

           $=-47.868 \ kPa$

Therefore the maximum pressure difference in the tank is Δp = 47.87 kPa and is located at the bottom of the tank.

A bus travelled 160 km in 4 hours, another bus travelled 175 km in 5 hours, which bus moved faster? ​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Answer:

Bus travels 160 km in 4 hours

Speed of bus = 160/4 = 40 km/hr

Train travels 320 km in 5 hours

Speed of train = 320/5 = 64 km/hr

In one hour, bus travels 40 km and train travels 64 km.

Ratio = 40:64 = 5:8

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.
