Although human beings have been able to fly hundreds of thousands of miles into outer space, getting inside the earth has proven

much more difficult. The deepest mines ever drilled are only about 10 miles deep. To illustrate the difficulties associated with such drilling, consider the following: The density of steel is about 7900 kilograms per cubic meter, and its breaking stress, defined as the maximum stress the material can bear without deteriorating, is about 2.0×1092.0×109 pascals. What is the maximum length of a steel cable that can be lowered into a mine? Assume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity remains constant at 9.8 meters per second per second.
Use two significant figures in your answer, expressed in kilometers.

Answer:

26 km

Explanation:

Let's say our "cable" has a cross section of 1 m²

Then each meter of cable would weight 7900(9.8) = 77420 N

A Pascal is a Newton per square meter

2 x 10⁹ / 77420 = 25840 m or about 26 km or about 16 miles

Fed [463]

Answer:

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Explanation:

The Electric field Intensity act due to plate = σ/ε₀, where σ is surface charge density of plate.

At equilibrium ,

Upward force = downward force

Tcosθ = mg ----(1)

Assuming that the Forward force = backward force, then

Tsinθ = σq/ε₀

[ ∵ F = qE , ∴ F = qσ/ε₀ ] -----(2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1)

Tsinθ/Tcosθ = qσ/ε₀mg

⇒Tanθ = qσ/ε₀mg

σ = ε₀mg tanθ/q

Now substituting the values of

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 1 * tan 30) / 2*10^-8

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 0.5774) / 2*10^-8

σ = 5.11*10^-12 / 2*10^-8

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Answer:

B or D but im pretty sure it is D

Explanation:

When molecules are left in the sun, it heats up. When molecules heat up, the begin to vibrate rapidly. The sun is not constant as it could get blocked by clouds, so it would, at times, slow down the movement of the molecules. The answer is most likely D.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Magnetic field will be ZERO at the given position

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field due to moving charge is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 qv sin\theta}{4\pi r^2}

so here we know that for the direction of magnetic field we will use

\hat B = \hat v \times \hat r

so we have

\hat B = \hat i \times (\hat i + 0\hat j + 0\hat k)

so magnetic field must be ZERO

So whenever charge is moving along the same direction where the position vector is given then magnetic field will be zero
