Because charges are positioned on a square the force acting on one charge is the same as the force acting on all others. 
We will use superposition principle. This means that force acting on the charge is the sum of individual forces. I have attached the sketch that you should take a look at.
We will break down forces on their x and y components:
F_x=F_3+F_2cos(45^{\circ})
F_y=F_1+F_2sin(45^{\circ})
Let's figure out each component:
F_1=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon}\frac{q^2}{a^2}\\
F_3=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon}\frac{q^2}{a^2}\\
F_2=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon}\frac{q^2}{(\sqrt{2}a)^2}
Total force acting on the charge would be:
F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}
We need to calculate forces along x and y axis first( I will assume you meant micro coulombs, because otherwise we get forces that are huge).
F_x=F_3+F_2cos(45^{\circ})=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon}\frac{q^2}{a^2}+\frac{1} {4\pi \epsilon}\frac{q^2}{(\sqrt{2}a)^2}\cdot\cos(45)=46N
F_y=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon}\frac{q^2}{(\sqrt{2}a)^2}\cdot sin(45)+\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon}\frac{q^2}{a^2}=46N
Now we can find the total force acting on a single charge:
F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{46^2+46^2}=65N
As said before, intensity of the force acting on charges is the same for all of them.

  • Answer:

<em>12,25 km/h</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

  • Explanation:

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>= 12,25km/h</em>

<em>or</em>

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>1h = 60m×60s = 3600s</em>

<em>= 12250m/3600s</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

Determine the sign (+ or −) of the torque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps, the sign of the weight of the forearm,
Alex Ar [27]
Ans: 
1.  τbiceps = +(Positive)
2.  τforearm = -(Negative)
3.  τball = -(Negative)

Explanation:

The figure is attached down below.

1. T<span>orque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
</span>Where r is the vector from elbow to the biceps.
<span>
We can see in the figure that F(biceps) is in upward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the counterclockwise direction. The torque in counterclockwise direction is positive(+). Therefore, the sign would be +.

2. </span>Torque about the the weight of the forearm, τforearm:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the forearm.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(forearm) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

3. Torque about the the weight of the ball, τball:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the ball.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(ball) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

When you apply the torque equation ∑τ = 0 to an object in equilibrium, the axis about which torques are calculated:
kupik [55]

Answer:

option D.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D.

When an object is in equilibrium torque calculated at any point will be equal to zero.

An object is said to be in equilibrium net moment acting on the body should be equal to zero.

If the net moment on the object is not equal to zero then the object will rotate it will not be stable.

Steam enters a counterflow heat exchanger operating at steady state at 0.07 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 2431.6 kJ/kg and exi
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Steam Mass rate, ms = 1.5 kg/min

= 1.5 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 0.025 kg/s

Air Mass rate, ma = 100 kg/min

= 100 kg/min × 1 min/60 sec

= 1.67 kg/s

A.

Extracting the specific enthalpy and temperature values from property table of “Saturated water – Pressure table” which corresponds to temperature at 0.07 MPa.

xf, quality = 0.9.

Tsat = 89.9°C

hf = 376.57 kJ/kg

hfg = 2283.38 kJ/kg

Using the equation for specific enthalpy,

hi = hf + (hfg × xf)

= 376.57 + (2283.38 × 0.9)

= 2431.552 kJ/kg

The specific enthalpy of the outlet, h2 = hf

= 376.57 kJ/kg

B.

Rate of enthalpy (heat exchange), Q = mass rate, ms × change in specific enthalpy

= ms × (hi - h2)

= 0.025 × (2431.552 - 376.57)

= 0.025 × 2055.042

= 51.37455 kW

= 51.38 kW.
