Answer:
T ambient = 10 degrees
Explanation:
Using Newton's Law of Cooling:
T(t) = Tamb + (Ti - Tamb)*e^(-kt) ..... Eq 1
Ti = 100
We have two points to evaluate the above equation as follows:
T = 70 @ t = 10 using Eq 1
70 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-10k) ... Eq 2
T = 50 @ t = 20 using Eq 1
50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-20k) ... Eq 3
Solving the above Eq 2 and Eq 3 simultaneously:
Using Eq 2:
(70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb) = e^(-10k)
Squaring both sides we get:
((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2 = e^(-20k) .... Eq 4
Substitute Eq 4 into Eq 3
50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2
After simplification:
50 = (Tamb (100-Tamb) + (70-Tamb)^2) / (100 - Tamb)
5000 - 50*Tamb = 4900 - 40*Tamb
Tamb = 100 / 10 = 10 degrees
<span>f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
First, you need to determine the period of the function. The period will be the time interval between identical points on the sinusoidal function. For this problem, the tide is rising and at 5.15 at midnight for two consecutive days. So the period is 24 hours. Over that 24 hour period, we want the parameter passed to sine to range from 0 to 2*pi. So the scale factor for x will be 2*pi/24 = pi/12 which is approximately 0.261799388. The next thing to note is the magnitude of the wave. That will simply be the difference between the maximum and minimum values. So 10.2 ft - 0.1 ft = 10.1 ft. And since the value of sine ranges from -1 to 1, we need to divide that magnitude by 2, so 10.1 ft / 2 = 5.05 ft.
So our function at this point looks like
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12)
But the above function ranges in value from -5.05 to 5.05. So we need to add a bias to it in order to make the low value equal to 0.1. So 0.1 = X - 5.05, 0.1 + 5.05 = X, 5.15 = X. So our function now looks like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
The final thing that might have been needed would have been a phase correction. With this problem, we don't need a phase correction since at X = 0 (midnight), the value of X*pi/12 = 0, and the sine of 0 is 0, so the value of the equation is 5.15 which matches the given value of 5.15. But if the problem had been slightly different and the height of the tide at midnight has been something like 7 feet, then we would have had to calculate a phase shift value for the function and add that constant to the parameter being passed into sine, making the function look like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12 + C) + 5.15
where
C = Phase correction offset.
But we don't need it for this problem, so the answer is:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
Note: The above solution assumes that angles are being measured in radians. If you're using degrees, then instead of multiplying x by 2*pi/24 = pi/12, you need to multiply by 360/24 = 15 instead, giving f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*15) + 5.15</span>
Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
to solve this problem we must make a free body diagram, with the forces acting on the metal rod.
i)
The center of gravity of the rod is concentrated in half the distance, that is, from the end of the bar to the center there is 40 [cm]. This can be seen in the attached free body diagram.
We have only two equilibrium equations, a summation of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, and a summation of moments on any point equal to zero.
For the summation of forces we will take the forces upwards as positive and the negative forces downwards.
ΣF = 0
Now we perform a sum of moments equal to zero around the point of attachment of the string with the metal bar. Let's take as a positive the moment of the force that rotates the metal bar counterclockwise.
ii) In the free body diagram we can see that the force acts at 18 [cm] of the string.
ΣM = 0
![(15*9) - (18*W) = 0\\135 = 18*W\\W = 7.5 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2815%2A9%29%20-%20%2818%2AW%29%20%3D%200%5C%5C135%20%3D%2018%2AW%5C%5CW%20%3D%207.5%20%5BN%5D)
