two people are standing 100m apart on the bank of a river that flows due east. if a rock on the opposite bank is along a bearing

of N 25 degrees East from one person and along a bearing of N 15 dEGREES wEST FROM the other person, what is the width of the river?

Answer:160.88 m

Explanation:

Given

Distance Between two person is 100

i.e. $p+q=100$

Let W be the width of River

From First Triangle

$p=W\tan 24$

From Second Triangle

$q=W\tan 10$

$W\tan 24+W\tan 10=100$

$W(\tan 24+\tan 10)=100$

$W=\frac{100}{0.6215}$

$W=160.88 m$

A wire carrying a current of 10 A and 2 m in length is placed in a field of flux density 0.15 T. What’s the force on the wire if

saul85 [17]

Explanation:

I = 10A

l = 2m

B = 0.15T

F = ?

a) ¶ = 90

F = BILsin¶

F = 0.15×10×2×sin90

F = 3N

b) ¶ = 45 degree

F = BILsin¶

F = 0.15×10×2×sin45

F = 2.12N

c) ¶ = 0 degree

F = BILsin¶

F = 0.15×10×2×sin0

F = 0

A container explodes and breaks into three fragments that fly off 120° apart from each other, with mass ratios 1: 4: 2. If the f

RSB [31]

Answer:

V₂ = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of the first piece = 6 m/s

speed of the third piece = 3 m/s

speed of the second fragment = ?

mass ratios = 1 : 4 : 2

fragment break fly off = 120°

α = β = γ = 120°

sin α = sin β = sin γ = 0.866

using lammi's theorem

$\dfrac{A}{sin\alpha}=\dfrac{B}{sin\beta}=\dfrac{C}{sin\gamma}$

A,B and C is momentum of the fragments

$\dfrac{m\times 6}{0.866}=\dfrac{4m\times v_2}{0.866}=\dfrac{2m\times 3}{0.866}$

4 x V₂ = 2 x 3

V₂ = 1.5 m/s

A turntable rotates counterclockwise at 76 rpm . A speck of dust on the turntable is at 0.47 rad at t=0. What is the angle of th

icang [17]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition we know that the displacement when there is constant angular velocity is

$\theta= \theta_0 +\omega t$

From our given data we know that,

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}$

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})$

$\omega = 7.958rad/s$

Moreover we know that

$\theta_0 = 0.47 rad$

Therefore for time t=8.1s we have,

$\theta= \theta_0+ \omega t$

$\theta= 0.47+(7.958)(8.1)$

$\theta = 64.9298rad$

That number in revolution is:

$\theta = 64.9298rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi})$

$\theta = 15.108 Revolutions$

Here, we see that there are 15 complete revolutions

And 0.108 revolutions i not complete, so the tunable rotation is

$\theta_{net} = 0.108*2\pi=0.216\pi$

Therefore the angle of the speck at a time 8.1s is $0.216\pi$

A man carries a load of mass 2.6kg from one end of a uniform pole 100cm long which has a mass 0.4kg. The pole rest on his should

miskamm [114]

Answer:

F = 39.2 N (hand force) and N = 68.6 N (shoulder force)

Explanation:

In this exercise we must use the rotational and translational equilibrium conditions, we have several forces: the weight (W) of the pole applied at its geometric center, the load (w1) at one end, the shoulder support (N) 60 cm from the load and hand force (F) at the other end of the pole

Let's set the reference system at the fit point of the shoulder

∑ τ = 0

We will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive

w₁ 0.60 + W 0.1 + F₁ 0 - F 0.4 = 0

all distances are measured from the support of the man (x₀ = 0.60 m)

F = (w₁ 0.60 + W 0.1) / 0.4

F = (m₁ 0.6 + m 0.1) g / 0.4

let's calculate

F = (2.6 0.6 + 0.4 0.1) 9.8 / 0.4

F = 39.2 N

this is the force that the hand must exert to keep the system in balance

We apply the translational equilibrium condition

-w₁ -W + N - F = 0

N = w₁ + W + F

N = (m₁ + m) g + F

let's calculate

N = (2.6 + 0.4) 9.8 + 39.2

N = 68.6 N
