Answer:

The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of the pulley is 6

Explanation:

The question parameters are;

The mass of the actress playing Peter Pan = 125 lb

The force applied by the stagehand to the pulley to hoist her = 30 lbs

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of a pulley = The number of strands (rope) the pulley has

Therefore, the Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of the given pulley with 6 strands = 6.

What do we need to do to get CO2 emissions all the way to zero?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

A key element is powering economies with clean energy, replacing polluting coal - and gas and oil-fired power stations - with renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar farms. This would dramatically reduce carbon emissions. Plus, renewable energy is now not only cleaner, but often cheaper than fossil fuels

Four kilograms of carbon monoxide (CO) is contained in a rigid tank with a volume of 1 m3. The tank is fitted with a paddle whee
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 1 m^3/Kg  

b) 504 kJ

c) 514 kJ

Explanation:

<u>Given  </u>

-The mass of C_o2 = 1 kg  

-The volume of the tank V_tank = 1 m^3  

-The added energy E = 14 W  

-The time of adding energy t = 10 s  

-The increase in specific internal energy Δu = +10 kJ/kg  

-The change in kinetic energy ΔKE = 0 and The change in potential energy  

ΔPE =0  

<u>Required  </u>

(a)Specific volume at the final state v_2

(b)The energy transferred by the work W in kJ.  

(c)The energy transferred by the heat transfer W in kJ and the direction of  

the heat transfer.  

Assumption  

-Quasi-equilibrium process.  

<u>Solution</u>  

(a) The volume and the mass doesn't change then, the specific volume is constant.

 v= V_tank/m ---> 1/1= 1 m^3/Kg  

(b) The added work is defined by.  

W =E * t --->  14 x 10 x 3600 x 10^-3 = 504 kJ  

(c) From the first law of thermodynamics.  

Q - W = m * Δu

Q = (m * Δu) + W--> (1 x 10) + 504 = 514 kJ

The heat have (+) sign the n it is added to the system.
