Answer:

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a sketch of how will be the semicircle, for this reason we conducted an internet search, to find the scheme of the problem. This scheme is attached in the first image.

Then we make a free body diagram, with this free body diagram, we raise the forces that act on the body. Since it is a problem involving static equilibrium, the sum of forces in any direction and moments must be equal to zero.

By performing a sum of forces on the Y axis equal to zero we can find an equation that relates the forces of tension T1 & T2.

The second equation can be determined by summing moments equal to zero, around the point of application of the T1 force. In this way we find the T2 force.

The value of T2, is replaced in the first equation and we can find the value for T1.

Therefore

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

The free body diagram and the developed equations can be seen in the second attached image.

Two planes leave wichita at noon. one plane flies east 30 mi/h faster than the other plane, which is flying west. at what time w

scoundrel [369]

You have to take note of the individual directions of the plane. Since one is heading east, and the other is heading west, the planes are heading at opposite directions. So, it means that their distance between each other would be equal to 1,200 miles which accounts for the sum of their individual distances. The equation is as follows:

Total Distance = Distance of slower plane + Distance of faster plane
1,200 miles = st + (30+s)(t)
where
s is the speed of the slower plane and t is the time. Since both are not given, the final answer would just be in terms of s.
1,200 = t(s + 30 + s)
t = 1200/(30+2s)
t = 600/(15+s)

3. You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant smacks you on the head and knocks you to the gro

Elza [17]

As absurd as the concept is, we must assume that a croissant
can fall 300.5 meters through the moisture-laden, perfumed and
polluted Parisian air with no air resistance whatsoever.

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth: 9.8 m/s²

Distance in clean,
unimpeded free-fall   = (1/2) (acceleration) x (time²)

            300.5 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (T²)
Divide each side
by (4.9 m/s²):       (300.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²) = T²

Take the square root
of each side:   T = √(300.5/4.9) (s²)

   = 7.831 seconds .

Furkat [3]

Answer:

1 ) Electrons are less massive than than atomic nuclei.

Explanation:

A positively charged body tends to attract negatively charged particle and repel positively charged particle. Neutral body consists of atoms which contain both positively charged particles ( electrons ) and negatively charged particles ( protons ). Electrons are small and light in weight . Both electrons and protons experience equal and opposite force by an external charged body but shift in electron is more because of their being comparatively lighter. So the body gets polarized due to uneven distribution of charge. This results into body getting attracted through the process of induction.
