Carefully consider how the accelerations a1 and a2 are related. Solve for the magnitude of the acceleration, a1, of the block of
mass m1, in meters per square second.
1 answer:
Answer:
a1 = 3.68m/s²
Explanation:
Given values:
Mass of the block placed on the table, m1 = 12.25 kg
Mass of the block hanging vertically, m2 = 7.5 kg
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2
Tension in the string is T
Let the acceleration of mass 1 and mass 2 be a1 and a2
a1 and a2 are equal in magnitude but different in direction. This because the string does not stretch. Hence the two bodies must move equal distances in equal times, and so their speechless at any instant must be equal. When the speeds change , they change by equal amounts in a given time, so the acceleration of the two bodies must have the same magnitude a,
a = m2*g/(m1 + m2)
a = 7.5 x 9.8 / (12.5 + 7.5)
a = 3.68 m/s²
a1 = a2 = 3.68m/s²
a1 is directed to the right and a2 is directed downwards

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the magnetic dipole moment in terms of the current and the surface area, as well as the current density, as a function of the current over the area.
Part A) By definition we know that magnetic dipole moment is
Where,
I = Current
S = Area
Replacing with our values we have that,
Re-arrange to find I,
Part B) To find the Current density we need to find the cross sectional area of the Wire:
Finally the current density is simply J
PART C) Finally to make the comparison with the given values we have to cross-sectional area would be
Therefore the current density would be
Comparing the two values we can see that the 2mm wire has a higher current density.
