Magnus has reached the finals of a strength competition. In the first round, he has to pull a city bus as far as he can. One end

of a rope is attached to the bus and the other is tied around Magnus's waist. If a force gauge placed halfway down the rope reads out a constant 2750 2750 Newtons while Magnus pulls the bus a distance of 1.60 1.60 meters, how much work does the tension force do on Magnus? The rope is perfectly horizontal during the pull.

Answer:

The workdone is $W_d =-4400J$

Explanation:

The free body diagram is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are given that

The force is on the force gauge $F = 2750 N$

The distance that Magnus pulled the bus $d = 1.60m$

Generally the workdone by the tension force on Magnus is

$Workdone = Force * displacement \ in \ the \ direction \ of \ force$

$W_d = F * (-d)$

This negative sign show that is tension force is in the opposite direction to Magnus movement (i.e the movement of the bus )

Substituting value we have

$Workdone = - 2750 * 1.60$

$=-4400 J$

The particle starts from rest at t=0. What is the magnitude p of the momentum of the particle at time t? Assume that t>0. Exp

olganol [36]

Answer:

Ft

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=u=0

We have to find the magnitude of p of the momentum of the particle at time t.

Let mass of particle=m

Applied force=F

Acceleration, $a=\frac{F}{m}$

Final velocity , $v=a+ut$

Substitute the values

$v=0+\frac{F}{m}t=\frac{F}{m}t$

We know that

Momentum, p=mv

Using the formula

$p=m\times \frac{F}{m}t=Ft$

Hoosier Manufacturing operates a production shop that is designed to have the lowest unit production cost at an output rate of 1

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

90.77%

its capacity utilization rate for the month is 90.77%

Explanation:

The capacity utilisation rate can be expressed mathematically as;

Capacity utilisation rate = capacity used/Best operating level × 100%

Given;

Total Number of production time = 205hours

Production output/capacity used = 21400 units

Best operation rate = 115units/hour

Best operation output for the month of July( at best operation level )

=115units/hour × 205 hours = 23575 units

Capacity utilisation rate = 21400/23575 × 100%

= 90.77%

A spring-powered dart gun is unstretched and has a spring constant 16.0 N/m. The spring is compressed by 8.0 cm and a 5.0 gram p

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 16N/m

Extension of spring

x = 8cm = 0.08m

Mass

m = 5g =5/1000 = 0.005 kg

The ball will leave with a speed that makes its kinetic energy equal to the potential energy of the compressed spring.

So, Using conservation of energy

Energy in spring is converted to kinectic energy

So, Ux = K.E

Ux = ½ kx²

Then,

Ux = ½ × 16 × 0.08m²

Ux = 0.64 J

Since, K.E = Ux

K.E = 0.64 J

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

Answer:

part a : <em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em> $lb/in^3$ <em />

part b : <em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>

part c : <em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>

part d : <em>Additional water (in lb) needed to achieve 100% saturation in the soil sample is 0.72 lb</em>

Explanation:

Part a

Dry Unit Weight

The dry unit weight is given as

$\gamma_{d}=\frac{\gamma}{1+\frac{w}{100}}$

Here

$\gamma_d$ is the dry unit weight which is to be calculated
γ is the bulk unit weight given as

$\gamma =weight/Volume \\\gamma= 4 lb / \pi r^2 h\\\gamma= 4 lb / \pi (4/2)^2 \times 4.58\\\gamma= 4 lb / 57.55\\\gamma= 0.069 lb/in^3$

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12%

Substituting values

$\gamma_{d}=\frac{\gamma}{1+\frac{w}{100}}\\\gamma_{d}=\frac{0.069}{1+\frac{12}{100}} \\\gamma_{d}=\frac{0.069}{1.12}\\\gamma_{d}=0.0616 lb/in^3$

<em>The dry unit weight is 0.0616 </em> $lb/in^3$ <em />

Part b

Void Ratio

The void ratio is given as

$e=\frac{G_s \gamma_w}{\gamma_d} -1$

Here

e is the void ratio which is to be calculated

$\gamma_d$ is the dry unit weight which is calculated in part a
$\gamma_w$ is the water unit weight which is 62.4 $lb/ft^3$ or 0.04 $lb/in^3$

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

Substituting values

$e=\frac{G_s \gamma_w}{\gamma_d} -1\\e=\frac{2.72 \times 0.04}{0.0616} -1\\e=1.766 -1\\e=0.766$

<em>The void ratio is 0.77</em>

Part c

Degree of Saturation

Degree of Saturation is given as

$S=\frac{G w}{e}$

Here

e is the void ratio which is calculated in part b

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction

Substituting values

$S=\frac{G w}{e}\\S=\frac{2.72 \times .12}{0.766}\\S=0.4261$

<em>Degree of Saturation is 0.43</em>

Part d

Additional Water needed

For this firstly the zero air unit weight with 100% Saturation is calculated and the value is further manipulated accordingly. Zero air unit weight is given as

$\gamma_{zav}=\frac{\gamma_w}{w+\frac{1}{G}}$

Here

$\gamma_{zav}$ is the zero air unit weight which is to be calculated

$\gamma_w$ is the water unit weight which is 62.4 $lb/ft^3$ or 0.04 $lb/in^3$

G is the specific gravity which is given as 2.72

w is the moisture content in percentage, given as 12% or 0.12 in fraction

$\gamma_{zav}=\frac{\gamma_w}{w+\frac{1}{G}}\\\gamma_{zav}=\frac{0.04}{0.12+\frac{1}{2.72}}\\\gamma_{zav}=\frac{0.04}{0.4876}\\\gamma_{zav}=0.08202 lb/in^3\\$

Now as the volume is known, the the overall weight is given as

$weight=\gamma_{zav} \times V\\weight=0.08202 \times 57.55\\weight=4.72 lb$

As weight of initial bulk is already given as 4 lb so additional water required is 0.72 lb.
