L = 1.00 m, the original length
A = 0.5 mm² = 0.5 x 10⁻⁶ m², the cross sectional area
E = 2.0 x 10¹¹ n/m², Young's modulus
P = 1500 N, the applied tension

Calculate the stress.
σ = P/A = (1500 N)/(0.5 x 10⁻⁶ m²) = 3 x 10⁹ N/m²

Let δ = the stretch of the string.
Then the strain is
ε = δ/L

By definition, the strain is
ε = σ/E = (3 x 10⁹ N/m²)/(2 x 10¹¹ N/m²) = 0.015
Therefore
δ/(1 m) = 0.015
δ = 0.015 m = 15 mm

Answer: 15 mm

The United States and France both produce sweaters and caps. Suppose that a US worker can produce 50 caps per hour or 1 sweater

blagie [28]

The first statement is true, because the US worker can produce 10 more caps in the same amount of time as the French worker, the US has a comparative advantage when making caps.

Determine the force P required to maintain the 200-kg engine in the position for which θ = 30°. The diameter of the pulley at B

gregori [183]

Answer:

The force P required is 1759.22 N

Explanation:

The missing diagram is seen in the first image below.

From the second image, we can see the schematic diagram of the engine hanging over the pulley.

To start with determining the value of the angle ∝;

$tan \ \alpha = \dfrac{CD}{BD}$

where;

BD = AB-AD

Then;

$tan \ \alpha = \dfrac{CD}{AB-AD}$

$\alpha = tan^{-1} \bigg(\dfrac{CD}{AB-AD} \bigg )$

replacing their respective values, where;

CD = 2 sin 30° m, AB = 2m and AD = 2 cos 30° m

$\alpha = tan^{-1} \bigg(\dfrac{2 \ sin \ 30^0}{2-2 \ cos \ 30^0} \bigg )$

$\alpha = tan^{-1} \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2-1.732} \bigg )$

$\alpha = tan^{-1} \bigg(\dfrac{1}{0.268} \bigg )$

$\alpha = tan^{-1} \bigg(3.73\bigg )$

$\alpha \simeq 75^0$

From the third diagram attached below:

The tension occurring in the thread BC is equal to force P

$T_{BC} = P$

Using the force equilibrium expression along the horizontal direction.

$\sum F_x = 0\\\\ -T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0 + Pcos \alpha = 0$

replacing the value of $\alpha \simeq 75^0$

$-T_{AC} \ cos 30^0 + P cos 75^0 = 0$

$P \ cos \ 75^0 = T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0$

$P =\dfrac{ T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0}{\ cos \ 75^0} \ \ \ - - - (1)$

Along the vertical direction, the force equilibrium equation can be expressed as:

$\sum F_y =0$

$-W + P \ sin \alpha + T_{AC} \ sin \ 30^0 = 0$

$W = P \ sin \ \alpha + T_{AC} \ sin \ 30^0$

replacing $\alpha \simeq 75^0$ and $P =\dfrac{ T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0}{\ cos \ 75^0}$

$W =\dfrac{T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0}{cos \ 75^0}\times sin \ 75^0 + T_{AC} \ sin \ 30^0$

Also, replacing W for (200 × 9.81) N

$200 \times 9.81 =\dfrac{T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0}{cos \ 75^0}\times sin \ 75^0 + T_{AC} \ sin \ 30^0$

$200 \times 9.81 = T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0 \ tan \ 75^0 + T_{AC} \ sin \ 30^0$

$1962= T_{AC} \ ( cos \ 30^0 \ tan \ 75^0 + \ sin \ 30^0)$

$1962= T_{AC} \ (0.8660\times 3.732 + 0.5)$

$1962= T_{AC} \ (3.231912 + 0.5)$

$1962= T_{AC} \ (3.731912)$

$T_{AC} = \dfrac{1962}{ \ (3.731912)}$

$T_{AC} = 525.736 \ N$

From $P =\dfrac{ T_{AC} \ cos \ 30^0}{\ cos \ 75^0}$

$P =\dfrac{ 525.736 \ cos \ 30^0}{\ cos \ 75^0}$

$P =\dfrac{ 525.736 \times0.866}{0.2588}$

P = 1759.22 N

Thus, the force P required is 1759.22 N

To exercise, a man attaches a 4.0 kg weight to the heel of his foot. When his leg is stretched out before him, what is the torqu

Masja [62]

Answer:

B. τ = 16 Nm

Explanation:

In order to find the torque exerted by the weight attached to the heel of man's foot, when his leg is stretched out. We use following formula:

τ = Fd

here,

τ = Torque = ?

F = Force exerted by the weight = Weight = mg

F = mg = (4 kg)(10 m/s²) = 40 N

d = distance from knee to weight = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Therefore,

τ = (40 N)(0.4 m)

<u>B. τ = 16 Nm</u>

The absolute pressure in water at a depth of 5m is read to be 145 kPa. Determine (a) the local atmospheric pressure, and (b) the

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a) 95950 pascals

b) 137642.5 pascals

Explanation:

The absolute pressure (Pabs) on a fluid is:

$P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}$ (1)

With Pgauge the pressure due depth on the fluid and Patm the atmospheric pressure. Pgauge is equal to:

$P_{gauge}=\rho gh$ (2)

with ρ the fluid density, g the gravitational acceleration and h the depth on the fluid. Using (2) on (1) and solving for Patm:

$P_{atm}=P_{abs}-P_{gauge}=P_{abs}-\rho_{water} gh$

$P_{atm}=(145000Pa)-(1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}})(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})(5m)$

$P_{atm}=95950Pa$

b) Here we're going to use again (1) but now we have another value of density because it's other liquid, to know that value we should use the fact that specific gravity (S.G) for liquids is the ratio between fluid density and water density:

$S.G=\frac{\rho_{fluid}}{\rho_{water}}$

$\rho_{liquid}=S.G*\rho_{water}$

$\rho_{liquid}=(0.85)*(1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}})=850\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$

so:

$P_{abs}=\rho_{liquid} gh+P_{atm}=(850\frac{kg}{m^{3}})(9.81\frac{m}{s})(5m)+95950Pa$

$P_{abs}=137642.5 Pa$
