Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a

great amount of angular momentum when rotating. A wind turbine has a total of 3 blades. Each blade has a mass of m = 5500 kg distributed uniformly along its length and extends a distance r = 44 m from the center of rotation. The turbine rotates with a frequency of f = 13 rpm.
a. Calculate the total moment of inertia of the wind turbine about its axis, in units of kilogram meters squared.
b. Calculate the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in units of kilogram meters squared per second.

Answer:

a)106.48 x 10⁵ kg.m²

b)144.97 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹  

Explanation:

a)Given

m = 5500 kg

l = 44 m

Moment of inertia of one blade

I= 1/3 x m l²

where m is mass of the blade

l is length of each blade.

Putting all the required values, moment of inertia of one blade will be

I= 1/3 x 5500 x 44²  

I= 35.49 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia of 3 blades

I= 3 x 35.49 x 10⁵ kg.m²

I= 106.48 x 10⁵ kg.m²

b) Angular momentum 'L' is given by

L =I x ω

where,

I= moment of inertia of turbine i.e  106.48 x 10⁵ kg.m²

ω=angular velocity =2π f

f is frequency of rotation of blade i.e  13 rpm

f = 13 rpm=>= 13 / 60 revolution per second

ω = 2π f =>  2π  x  13 / 60 rad / s

L=I x ω =>106.48 x 10⁵ x   2π  x  13 / 60

  = 144.97 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹

Jocko the clown, whose mass is 60-Kg, stands on a skateboard. A 20-Kg ball is thrown at Jocko at 3m/s, and when he catches the b
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The speed of the Jocko and the ball move after he catches the ball is 0.75 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if Jocko, m = 60 kg

Mass of the ball, m' = 20 kg

Speed of the ball, v = 3 m/s

Let V is the speed of Jocko and the ball move after he catches the ball. The momentum of the system remains conserved. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m'v'=(m+m')V\\\\V=\dfrac{m'v'}{(m+m')}\\\\V=\dfrac{20\times 3}{(60+20)}\\\\V=0.75\ m/s

So, the speed of the Jocko and the ball move after he catches the ball is 0.75 m/s.

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.

An inclined plane is made out of a short plank of wood. It is used to move a 300N box up onto a tabletop 1m above the floor. Wha
Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>The purpose of an inclinded plane is to make easier to move objects to a certain height.</em>

The technology behind this is about the Work you need to use to move the object upwards. Basically, when we use an inclined plane, we are splitting the net force, making easier to move. All this means, the force needed to move the objecto up will be lower, due to the inclined plane.

So, if the force needed is lower, then the work is also lower, because the work done is defined as the product between the force applied and the distance traveled.

<em>In addition, if we have a longer inclined plane, that means the force needed is even lower,</em> beacuse the distance is increased, but the Work is the same, because it only depends on the initial and final point.

Therefore, in this case, the work would remain the same and the mechanical advantage would increase. As we said before, the work needed will be the same despite the force decreases, because the distance increases, remaining the work as a constant. And the mechanical advantage increases, because it's easier to move if the inclined plane is longer.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Isothermal :   P2 = ( P1V1 / V2 ) ,  work-done pdv = nRT * In( \frac{V2}{v1} )

Adiabatic : : P2 = \frac{P1V1^{\frac{5}{3} } }{V2^{\frac{5}{3} } }  , work-done =

W = (3/2)nR(T1V1^(2/3)/(V2^(2/3)) - T1)

Explanation:

initial temperature : T

Pressure : P

initial volume : V1

Final volume : V2

A) If expansion was isothermal calculate final pressure and work-done

we use the gas laws

= PIVI = P2V2

Hence : P2 = ( P1V1 / V2 )

work-done :

pdv = nRT * In( \frac{V2}{v1} )

B) If the expansion was Adiabatic show the Final pressure and work-done

final pressure

P1V1^y = P2V2^y

where y = 5/3

hence : P2 = \frac{P1V1^{\frac{5}{3} } }{V2^{\frac{5}{3} } }

Work-done

W = (3/2)nR(T1V1^(2/3)/(V2^(2/3)) - T1)

Where    T2 = T1V1^(2/3)/V2^(2/3)

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Horizontal component: F_x = 58\ N

Vertical component: F_y = 33.5\ N

Explanation:

To find the horizontal and vertical components of the force, we just need to multiply the magnitude of the force by the cosine and sine of the angle with the horizontal, respectively.

Therefore, for the horizontal component, we have:

F_x = F * cos(angle)

F_x = 67 * cos(30)

F_x = 58\ N

For the vertical component, we have:

F_y = F * sin(angle)

F_y = 67 * sin(30)

F_y = 33.5\ N

So the horizontal component of the tension force is 58 N and the vertical component is 33.5 N.
