Two cannon balls weighing 13 kg and 19 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of

a 16-m wall. The chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 13-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. Determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. Neglect the resistance of the air.

Answer:

7 m to the left of the line of fire.

213.55 m from the foot of the wall.

7.25 m above the ground.

Explanation:

Let's assume the height is the y-direction, the line of fire is in x-direction. Since there is no external force acting in z-direction, z-coordinate of the center of mass of he ball should be zero. In order to make z-coordinate zero other ball should fall symmetrically with respect to z-axis. So, z-coordinate of 19 kg ball = -7 m.

Hence, 7 m to the left of the line of fire.

The balls do not have any external force in x-direction. Thus, in x-direction, the center of mass should move with constant velocity. x-coordinate of center of mass at t = 1.5 s is:

x_{CM}= 165*1.5 = 247.5 \:\:m

x_{CM}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}\\ \\247.5=\frac{13*240+19*x_2}{13+19}\\\\x_2=(247.5*29-13*240)/19=213.55 \:\:m

Hence,  213.55 m from the foot of the wall.

Height fallen by the center of mass at t = 1.5 s.

h=\frac{1}{2} gt^2=\frac{1}{2}*10*(1.5)^2=11.25\:\:m

Hence, y-coordinate of the center of mass is:

y_{CM}=16-11.25=4.75\:\:m\\\\y_{CM}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2}{m_1+m_2} \\\\4.75=\frac{13*0+19*y_2}{13+19}\\\\y_2=(4.75*29)/19=7.25\:\:m

Hence, 7.25 m above the ground.

The 10-kg block slides down 2 m on the rough surface with kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.2. What is the work done by the fr
Rashid [163]

Answer:

153.2 J

Explanation:

Let's first list our given parameters;

mass (m) of the block = 10 kg

which slides down ( i.e displacement) = 2 m

kinetic coefficient of friction (μk) = 0.2

In the diagram shown below;  if we take an integral look at the component of force in the direction of the displacement; we have

F_x= Fcos 40°

F_x= 100 (cos 40°)

F_x= 76.60 N

Workdone by the friction force can now be determined as:

W = F_x × displacement

W = 76.60 × 2

W = 153.2 J

∴  the work done by the friction force = 153.2 J

The rectangular frame is composed of four perimeter two-force members and two cables AC and BD which are incapable of supporting
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Your question is lacking some information attached is the missing part and the solution

A) AB = AD = BD = 0, BC = LC

    AC = \frac{5L}{3}T, CD = \frac{4L}{3} C

B) AB = AD = BC = BD = 0

   AC = \frac{5L}{3} T, CD = \frac{4L}{3} C

Explanation:

A) Forces in all members due to the load L in position A

assuming that BD goes slack from an inspection of Joint B

AB = 0 and BC = LC from Joint D, AD = 0 and CD = 4L/3 C

B) steps to arrive to the answer is attached below

AB = AD = BC = BD = 0

AC = \frac{5L}{3} T,  CD = \frac{4L}{3}C

A converging-diverging nozzle is designed to operate with an exit Mach number of 1.75 . The nozzle is supplied from an air reser
Flura [38]

Answer:

a. 4.279 MPa

b. 3.198 MPa to 4.279 MPa

c. 0.939 MPa

d. Below 3.198 MPa

Explanation:

From the given parameters

M_{exit} = 1.75 MPa  

M at 1.6 MPa gives A_{exit}/A* = 1.2502

M at 1.8 MPa gives  A_{exit}/A* = 1.4390

Therefore, by interpolation, we have M_{exit} = 1.75 MPa  gives A

However, we shall use M_{exit} = 1.75 MPa and A

Similarly,

P_{exit}/P₀ = 0.1878

a) Where the nozzle is choked at the throat there is subsonic flow in the following diverging part of the nozzle. From tables, we have

A_{exit}/A* = 1.387. by interpolation M

Therefore P_{exit} = P₀ × P

Which shows that the nozzle is choked for back pressures lower than 4.279 MPa

b) Where there is a normal shock at the exit of the nozzle, we have;

M₁ = 1.75 MPa, P₁ = 0.1878 × 5 = 0.939 MPa

Where the normal shock is at M₁ = 1.75 MPa, P₂/P₁ = 3.406

Where the normal shock occurs at the nozzle exit, we have

P_b = 3.406\times 0.939 = 3.198 MPa

Where the shock occurs t the section prior to the nozzle exit from the throat, the back pressure was derived as P_b = 4.279 MPa

Therefore the back pressure value ranges from 3.198 MPa to 4.279 MPa

c) At M_{exit} = 1.75 MPa  and P

d) Where the back pressure is less than 3.198 MPa according to isentropic flow relations supersonic flow will exist at the exit plane
