Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  [tex]F_g=1.5*10^9Ibf[/tex]

b)  [tex]F_t=12490Ibf/ft^2[/tex]

     [tex]F_b=0[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height [tex]h=200ft[/tex]

Width [tex]w=1200ft[/tex]

a)

Generally the equation for Dam's Hydro static force is mathematically given by

[tex]F_g=\rho*g*\frac{h}{2}(w*h)[/tex]

Where

[tex]\rho=Density\ of\ water[/tex]

[tex]\rho=62.4Ibm/ft^3[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]F_g=62.4*32.2*\frac{200}{2}(1200*200)[/tex]

[tex]F_g=1.5*10^9Ibf[/tex]

b)

Generally the equation for Dam's Force per unit area is mathematically given by

[tex]F=\rho*g*h[/tex]

For Top

[tex]F_t=\rho*g*h[/tex]

[tex]F_t=62.4*32.2*200[/tex]

[tex]F_t=12490Ibf/ft^2[/tex]

For bottom

[tex]Here \\H=0 zero[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]F_b=0[/tex]

Answer 2

The hydrostatic force on the dam is [tex]2.995 \times 10^9 \ lbF[/tex].

The force per unit area near the top is 86.74 psi.

The force per unit area near the bottom is zero.

Hydrostatic force

The hydrostatic force on the dam is the force exerted on the dam by the column of the water.

[tex]F = PA\\\\F = (\rho gh) \times (wh)\\\\F = (62.4 \times 32.17 \times 200) \times (1200 \times 200)\\\\F = 9.636 \times 10^{10} \ lb-ft/s^2\\\\1 \ lbF = 32.17\ lb-ft/s^2\\\\F = 2.995 \times 10^9 \ lbF[/tex]

Force per unit area near the top

The force per unit area is the pressure exerted near the top of the dam.

[tex]P = \rho gh\\\\P = 0.052 \times \rho h[/tex]

where;

P is pressure in PSI

ρ is density of water in lb/gal

h is the vertical height in ft

[tex]P = 0.052 \times 8.34 \times 200\\\\P = 86.74 \ Psi[/tex]

The pressure near the bottom is zero, become the vertical height is zero.

We need to solve for a first before we can solve the tension T. So combining Eqns(1) & (2), we get

A mass of 8.72 kg gains 446 J of gravitational potential energy. To what height was it lifted?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 5.22 \ m}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is calculated using the following formula:

[tex]E_P=mgh[/tex]

Where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

The object has a mass of 8.72 kilograms. Assuming this occurs on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared. The object gains 446 Joules of potential energy.

Let's convert the units of Joules. This makes the process of canceling units simpler later on. 1 Joule is equal to 1 kilogram meter squared per second squared. The object gains 446 J, which is equal to 446 kg *m²/s².

EP= 446 kg*m²/s²m= 8.72 kg g= 9.8 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]446 \ kg*m^2/s^2 = 8.72 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2 *h[/tex]

Multiply on the right side of the equation.

[tex]446 \ kg*m^2/s^2 = 85.456 kg*m/s^2 *h[/tex]

We are solving for the height, so we must isolate the variable h. It is being multiplied by 85.456 kg*m/s². The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by this value.

[tex]\frac{ 446 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{85.456 kg*m/s^2} = \frac{85.456 kg*m/s^2 *h}{85.456 kg*m/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{ 446 \ kg*m^2/s^2}{85.456 kg*m/s^2} =h[/tex]

The units of kg*m/s² cancel, leaving meters as our unit.

[tex]\frac{ 446 }{85.456 } \ m =h[/tex]

[tex]5.2190601011 \ m =h[/tex]

The original measurements of mass and potential energy have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredths place. The 9 in the thousandths place to the right tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.

[tex]5.22 \ m \approx h[/tex]

A. If the marginal rate of technical substitution of television advertisements for letters to potential voters is constant, then the campaign manager should use a combination of the two inputs.
B. If television advertisements and letters to potential voters are perfect complements, then the campaign manager should use them in fixed proportions.
C. If television advertisements and letters to potential voters are perfect substitutes, then the campaign manager should use them in fixed proportions.
D. If the isoquant curves for television advertisements and letters to potential voters are convex, then the campaign manager should use only the cheaper input per vote.
E. If the isocost lines for television advertisements and letters to potential voters are convex, then the campaign manager should use a combination of the two inputs.

Answers

Answer:

First answer - (E)

Second answer - (B)

Explanation:

The trade-off here is between TV ADVERTISEMENTS and LETTERS TO POTENTIAL VOTERS. The campaign manager for the candidate who is running for reelection, is trying to decide which of the two factors he should use more of or emphasize. The production function for campaign votes can be simplified as

TVAD + LTPV = CV

This is the production function for campaign votes.

PART A

Describe the production function for campaign votes (in words).

ANSWER: (E)

Television advertisements and (or 'plus') letters to potential voters, produce (or 'equal') campaign votes.

PART B

How might information about this function (such as the shape of the isoquants) help the campaign manager plan strategy?

ANSWER: (B)

If television advertisements and letters to potential voters are perfect complements (complements are goods or actions that 'must' go together or be used together) then the campaign manager should use them in fixed proportions (e.g. in a ratio of 50:50).

A simple model of the human eye ignores its lens entirely. Most of what the eye does to light happens at the outer surface of the transparent cornea. Assume that this surface has a radius of curvature of 6.50 mm and that the eyeball contains just one fluid, with a refractive index of 1.41. Determine the distance from the cornea where a very distant object will be imaged.

Answers

Answer:

the distance from the cornea where a very distant object will be imaged is 23.35 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

For a spherical refracting surface;

[tex]n_i[/tex]/[tex]d_0[/tex] + [tex]n_t[/tex]/[tex]d_i[/tex] = ( [tex]n_t[/tex] - [tex]n_i[/tex] )/R

where [tex]n_i[/tex] is the index of refraction of the light of ray in the incident medium

[tex]d_0[/tex] is the object distance

[tex]n_t[/tex] is the index of refraction of light ray in the refracted medium

[tex]d_i[/tex] is the image distance

R is the radius of curvature

Now, let [tex]d_0[/tex] = ∞, such that;

[tex]n_i[/tex]/∞ + [tex]n_t[/tex]/[tex]d_i[/tex] = ( [tex]n_t[/tex] - [tex]n_i[/tex] )/R

0 + [tex]n_t[/tex]/[tex]d_i[/tex] = ( [tex]n_t[/tex] - [tex]n_i[/tex] )/R

we make [tex]d_i[/tex] subject of the formula

[tex]n_t[/tex]R = [tex]d_i[/tex]( [tex]n_t[/tex] - [tex]n_i[/tex] )

[tex]d_i[/tex] = ( [tex]n_t[/tex] × R ) / ( [tex]n_t[/tex] - [tex]n_i[/tex] )

given that; R = 6.50 mm, [tex]n_t[/tex] = 1.41, we know that [tex]n_i[/tex] = 1.00

so we substitute

[tex]d_i[/tex] = (1.41 × 6.50 mm ) / ( 1.41 - 1.00 )

[tex]d_i[/tex] = 9.165 / 0.41

[tex]d_i[/tex] = 23.35 mm

Therefore, the distance from the cornea where a very distant object will be imaged is 23.35 mm

( ) If the buckets are at rest, what is the tension in each cord? ( ) If the two buckets are pulled upward with an acceleration of 1.25 m/s by the upper cord, calculate the tension in each cord

Answers

Answer:

Here , mass of bucket ,m = 3.2 Kg

Now , let the tension in upper rope is T1

the tension in the middle rope is T2

a)

For lower bucket, balancing forces in vertical direction

T2 - mg = 0

T2 = mg

T2 = 3.2 *9.8

T2 = 31.36 N

tension in the middle rope is 31.36 N

For the upper bucket , balancing forces in vertical direction

T1 - T2 - mg = 0

T1 = T2 + 3.2 *9.8

T1 = 62.72 N

the tension in the upper rope is 62.72 N

B)

for a = 1.25 m/s^2

Using second law of motion ,for both the buckets

Fnet = ma

T1 - 2mg = 2m*a

T1 = 2*3.2*(9.8 +1.25)

T1 = 70.72 N

the tension in the upper rope is 70.7 N

Now , the lower bucket

Using second law of motion,

T2 - mg = ma

T2 = 3.2 * (9.8 + 1.25)

T2 = 35.36 N

the tension in the lower rope is 35.36 N

Q.3. The equivalent resistance across AB is:
(a)1
(c)2
(b)3
(d)4

Answers

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

First of all, the equivalent resistance for two resistors (r₁ and r₂) in parallel is given by:

1 / Eq = (1 / r₁) + (1 / r₂)

The equivalent resistance for resistance for two resistors (r₁ and r₂) in series is given by:

Eq = r₁ + r₂

Hence as we can see from the circuit diagram, 2Ω // 2Ω, and 2Ω // 2Ω, hence:

1/E₁ = 1/2 + 1/2

1/E₁ = 1

E₁ = 1Ω

1/E₂ = 1/2 + 1/2

1/E₂ = 1

E₂ = 1Ω

This then leads to E₁ being in series with E₂, hence the equivalent resistance (E₃) of E₁ and E₂ is:

E₃ = E₁ + E₂ = 1 + 1 = 2Ω

The equivalent resistance (Eq) across AB is the parallel combination of E₃ and the 2Ω resistor, therefore:

1/Eq = 1/E₃ + 1/2

1/Eq = 1/2 + 1/2

1/Eq = 1

Eq = 1Ω

Answers

Answer:

B = 0.013(-j) T

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a proton, [tex]v=1.75\times 10^7\ m/s[/tex]

Acceleration experienced by the proton,[tex]a=2.25\times 10^3\ m/s[/tex]

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic field. At equilibrium,

[tex]ma=qvB\\\\B=\dfrac{ma}{qv}\\\\B=\dfrac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 2.25\times 10^{13}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.75\times 10^{7}}\\\\B=0.013\ T[/tex]

The velocity is in +z direction, force in +x direction, then the field must be in -y direction.

A man is pulling a 20 kg box with a rope that makes an angle of 60 with the horizontal.If he applies a force of 150 N and a frictional force of 15 N is present, calculate the acceleration of the box.​

Answers

F (horizontal) = (150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N = (20 kg) a

==>   a = ((150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N)/(20 kg) = 3 m/s²

To calculate the acceleration of the box, we need to consider the net force acting on it. So, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s².

The net force is the vector sum of the applied force and the force of friction. First, let's find the horizontal and vertical components of the applied force:

Horizontal component of the applied force (F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex]) = F[tex]_{applied}[/tex] × cos(θ)

F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] = 150 N × cos(60°)

F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] = 150 N × 0.5

F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] = 75 N

Vertical component of the applied force (F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex]) = F[tex]_{applied}[/tex] × sin(θ)

F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex] = 150 N × sin(60°)

F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex] = 150 N × (√3 / 2)

F[tex]_{vertical}[/tex] ≈ 129.9 N

Now, let's calculate the net force in the horizontal direction:

Net Force in the horizontal direction (F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex]) = F[tex]_{horizontal}[/tex] - F[tex]_{friction}[/tex]

F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex] = 75 N - 15 N

F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex] = 60 N

Now, we can calculate the acceleration (a) using Newton's second law of motion, F = ma:

F[tex]_{net horizontal}[/tex] = m × a

60 N = 20 kg × a

Now, solve for acceleration (a):

a = 60 N / 20 kg

a = 3 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the box is 3 m/s².
