A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude, towing an airborne 130-kg laser sensor that measures the thi

ckness of the ice (see the drawing). The helicopter and the sensor both move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.57 m/s2. Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.

Answer:T=1316.21 N

Explanation:

The tension has two components: Vertical and Horizontal. The

horizontal component is ma, the vertical component is mg. Using

Pythagoras theorem, we can find the tension as:

T=((ma)^2 (mg)^2)^(1/2)

So

T=((129*2.84)^2 (129*9.8)^2)^(1/2)

T=1316.21 N

The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.4 square inches. If a force of 6.4 lb
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The force applied on one wheel during braking = 6.8 lb

Explanation:

Area of the piston (A) = 0.4 in^{2}

Force applied on the piston(F) = 6.4 lb

Pressure on the piston (P) = \frac{F}{A}

⇒ P = \frac{6.4}{0.4}

⇒ P = 16 \frac{lb}{in^{2} }

This is the pressure inside the cylinder.

Let force applied on the brake pad = F_{1}

Area of the brake pad (A_{1})= 1.7 in^{2}

Thus the pressure on the brake pad (P_{1}) =  \frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }

When brake is applied on the vehicle the pressure on the piston is equal to pressure on the brake pad.

⇒ P = P_{1}

⇒ 16 = \frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} }

⇒ F_{1} = 16 × A_{1}

Put the value of A_{1} we get

⇒ F_{1} = 16 × 1.7

⇒ F_{1} = 27.2 lb

This the total force applied during braking.

The force applied on one wheel = \frac{F_{1} }{4} = \frac{27.2}{4} = 6.8 lb

⇒ The force applied on one wheel during braking.
