Answer:
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.
The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.
Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.
To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.
W = m*g
W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]
W = 12.75 [N]
Answer:
option (B)
Explanation:
Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2
When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes
Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.
According to the law of Malus
Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.
I'' = 11.66 W/m^2
I'' = 11.7 W/m^2
An astronaut inside a spacecraft, which protects her from harmful radiation, is orbiting a black hole at a distance of 120 km from its center. The black hole is 5.00 times the mass of the sun and has a Schwarzschild radius of 15.0 km. The astronaut is positioned inside the spaceship such that one of her 0.030 kg ears is 6.0 cm farther from the black hole than the center of mass of the spacecraft and the other ear is 6.0 cm closer.
What is the tension between her ears?
Would the astronaut find it difficult to keep from being torn apart by the gravitational forces?
Answer:
The tension between the ears = 2.07 KN
The astronaut will find it difficult to keep and will eventually be in trouble because the tension is now greater compared to the tension in the human tissues.
Explanation:
Given that:
Orbital radius of the spacecraft (R) = 120 Km = 120 × 10³ m
Mass of the black hole (m) =
where :
Then; we have:
Schwarzchild radius of the black hole
r - 15.0 km
Mass of each ear
Farther distance between one ear and the black hole (d) = 6.0 cm
= 0.06 m
Closer distance between the other ear and the black home is (d) 6.0 cm
= 0.6 cm
NOW, If we assume that the tension force should be T; then definitely the two ears will posses the same angular velocity .
The net force on the ear closer to the black hole will be:
The net force on the ear farther to the black hole is :
Equating equation (1) and (2) & therefore making (T) the subject of the formula; we have:
The tension between the ears = 2.07 KN
The astronaut will find it difficult to keep and will eventually be in trouble because the tension is now greater compared to the tension in the human tissues.
