Answer:
63.57 kg
Explanation:
weight = 140 lbs
Let the mass is m.
1 lbs = 4.45 N
The weight of an object is defined as the force with which our earth attracts the body towards its centre.
Weight is the product of mass of the body and the acceleration due to gravity of that planet.
W = m x g
On earth surface g = 9.8 m/s^2
Now convert lbs in newton
So, 140 lbs = 140 x 4.45 = 623 N
So, m x 9.8 = 623
m = 63.57 kg
Thus, the mass is 63.57 kg.
Answer:
i) 0.9504
ii) 0.0452
Explanation:
Given data: reliability of hydraulic brakes= 0.96
reliability of mechanical brakes = 0.99
So the probability of stopping the truck = 0.96×0.99= 0.9504
At low speed
case: A works and B does not
= 0.96×(1-0.99) = 0.0096
case2 : B works and A does not
= 0.99×(1-0.96) = 0.0396
Therefore, probality of stopping = 0.0096+0.0396 = 0.0492
Answer:
The magnetic field will be
, '2d' being the distance the wires.
Explanation:
From Biot-Savart's law, the magnetic field (
) at a distance '
' due to a current carrying conductor carrying current '
' is given by

where '
' is an elemental length along the direction of the current flow through the conductor.
Using this law, the magnetic field due to straight current carrying conductor having current '
', at a distance '
' is given by

According to the figure if '
' be the current carried by the top wire, '
' be the current carried by the bottom wire and '
' be the distance between them, then the direction of the magnetic field at 'P', which is midway between them, will be perpendicular towards the plane of the screen, shown by the
symbol and that due to the bottom wire at 'P' will be perpendicular away from the plane of the screen, shown by
symbol.
Given
and 
Therefore, the magnetic field (
) at 'P' due to the top wire

and the magnetic field (
) at 'P' due to the bottom wire

Therefore taking the value of
the net magnetic field (
) at the midway between the wires will be
