Answer:

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to an accepted value. <u>Precision is how close measurements are to one another.</u> To make measurements, you have to evaluate both the accuracy and the precision to get a correct value.

The horizontal beam in Fig. E11.14 weighs 190 N, and its center of gravity is at its center. Find (a) the tension in the cable a

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of beam= 190 N

Here, The center of gravity is at its center

According to figure,

The angle is

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}$

The horizontal component is

$T_{x}=T\cos\theta$

The vertical component is

$T_{y}=T\sin\theta$

(a). We need to calculate the tension in the cable

Using formula of net torque acting on the pivot

$\sum\tau=F_{b}\times r+F_{w}\times r'-T\sin \theta\times r'$

Put the value into the formula

$0=190\times2+300\times 4-T\sin\theta\times 4$

$T\sin\theta\times 4=380+1200$

$T=\dfrac{1580\times5}{3\times 4}$

$T=658.33\ N$

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of horizontal component

$F_{x}=T\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{x}=658.33\times\dfrac{4}{5}$

$F_{x}=526.66\ N$

(c). We need to calculate the vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of vertical component

$F_{y}=F_{b}+F_{w}-T\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{y}=190+300-658.33\times\dfrac{3}{5}$

$F_{y}=95.002\ N$

Hence, (a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Two stationary point charges of 3.00 nC and 2.00 nC are separated by a distance of 50.0 cm. An electron is released from rest at

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

1. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint is - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

2. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge is - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J

Explanation:

given information:

$q_{1}$ = 3 nC = 3 x $10^{-9}$ C

$q_{2}$ = 2 nC = 2 x $10^{-9}$ C

r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint

potential energy of the charge, F

F = k $\frac{q_{e}q}{r}$

where

k = constant (8.99 x $10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2}$ )

electron charge, $q_{e}$ = - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ C

since it is measured at the midpoint,

r = $\frac{0.5}{2}$

= 0.25 m

thus,

F = $F_{1}+ F_{2}$

= k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $\frac{kq_{e} }{r}$ ( $q_{1} +q_{2}$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ +2 x $10^{-9}$ )/0.25

= - 2.9 x $10^{-17}$ J

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge

$r_{1}$ = 10 cm = 0.1 m

$r_{2}$ = 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 m

F = k $\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r}$ + k $\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}$

= $kq_{e}$ ( $\frac{q_{1} }{r_{1} }$ + $\frac{q_{2} }{r_{2} }$ )

= (8.99 x $10^{9}$ )( - 1.6 x $10^{-19}$ )(3 x $10^{-9}$ /0.1+2 x $10^{-9}$ /0.4)

= - 5.04 x $10^{-17}$ J
