Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo

ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j + 5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j + 5k)

M₀ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]$

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Four solid plastic cylinders all have radius 2.41 cm and length 5.94 cm. Find the charge of each cylinder given the following ad

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

QUICK NOTE: THE QUESTION IS NOT COMPLETE. Although it is not, we can make assumptions, since we only need values for the UNIFORM CHARGE DENSITY.

SO, LET US BEGIN;

To solve this question we are to use the equation (1) below;

Charge,Q = uniform charge density,p × Total area of the cylinder,A ------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

From the question, we are given radius, R to be 2.41 cm and length, L to be 5.94 cm.

Step one: calculate for the total area of the cylinder, A.

Total area of the cylinder, A= area of the top surface + area of the buttom + area of the curved surface of the cylinder.

Hence, total area of the cylinder,A is;

==> πR^2 + πR^2 + 2πRL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Then, total area of the cylinder,A is;

==> (L + R)2πR.

Step two: find the charge of each cylinder.

===> For the first cylinder; we have the uniform charge density to be 35 nC/m^2.

Therefore, the combination of equation (1) and (3) gives;

Charge Q= p × (L + R)2πR...----------------------------(4)

Hence, Q= 35 × [(5.94 + 2.41) 2× 3.143 × 5.94].= 10912.615 coulumb.

====> For the second cylinder, we have a uniform charge density of 50 nC/m^2.

Using equation (4), charge,Q= 15,589.45 Coulumb

=====> For THE third cylinder, the uniform charge density is 600, we make use of equation (4);

Charge,Q= 600×311.789.

Charge,Q= 187,073.4 coulumb.

====> For THE fourth cylinder, the uniform charge density is 750 nC/m^2.., we make use of equation (4);

Charge,Q= 233,841.75 coulumb.

A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 3.3 rad/s2. The diameter of the wheel is 21 cm. What

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular acceleration, $\alpha=3.3 rad/s^2$

Diameter of the wheel, d=21 cm

Radius of wheel, $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{21}{2}$ cm

Radius of wheel, $r=\frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2} m$

1m=100 cm

Magnitude of total linear acceleration, a= $1.7 m/s^2$

We have to find the linear speed of a at an instant when that point has a total linear acceleration with a magnitude of 1.7 m/s2.

Tangential acceleration, $a_t=\alpha r$

$a_t=3.3\times \frac{21\times 10^{-2}}{2}$

$a_t=34.65\times 10^{-2}m/s^2$

Radial acceleration, $a_r=\frac{v^2}{r}$

We know that

$a=\sqrt{a^2_t+a^2_r}$

Using the formula

$1.7=\sqrt{(34.65\times 10^{-2})^2+(\frac{v^2}{r})^2}$

Squaring on both sides

we get

$2.89=1200.6225\times 10^{-4}+\frac{v^4}{r^2}$

$\frac{v^4}{r^2}=2.89-1200.6225\times 10^{-4}$

$v^4=r^2\times 2.7699$

$v^4=(10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699$

$v=((10.5\times 10^{-2})^2\times 2.7699)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$v=0.418 m/s$

Hence, the the linear speed (in m/s) of a point on the rim of this wheel at an instant=0.418 m/s

Why does the chord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
