Answer:The tension on either side of the cable is 3677.57 N

Explanation:

given data

traffic light = 20 kg

cable spanning between two poles = 30 m

sag of the cable = 0.40 m

solution

through the free body diagram

tan θ = \frac{0.4}{15}.............1

θ = 1.527 °

and

tension = mg

The horizontal net force can be stated as

T2 cosθ = T1 cosθ.................2

and

thus T2 - T1..............3

and

in the vertical axis we express as

( T1 + T2) sinθ = mg...................4

therefore using equation 3 here

2 × T1 sin(1.527) = 20 × 9.8

T1 = 3677.57 N

In broad daylight, the size of your pupil is typically 3 mm. In dark situations, it expands to about 7 mm. How much more light c
Sav [3153]

Answer:

31.4 mm²

Explanation:

The ability of a telescope or eye to gather light can be expressed by the formula,

GDP=\pi } \frac{d^{2} }{4}

where d signifies the diameter of the pupil.

In bright daylight, the usual size of the pupil is 3 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{3^{2} }{4}

Conversely, in darkness, the diameter typically enlarges to 7 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{7^{2} }{4}

This indicates an increase in light-gathering capacity.

Increase=\pi \frac{49}{4} -\pi \frac{9}{4} \\Increase=31.4 mm^{2}

Thus, the amount of light the eye can capture is 31.4 mm².

The resulting motion can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, as the two components (north and east) are at right angles. To find the direction, trigonometry is applied, yielding Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

Two blocks are attached to opposite ends of a massless rope that goes over a massless, frictionless, stationary pulley. One of t
Softa [3030]

Answer:

1/7 kg

Explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram for enhanced clarity regarding the question.

One of the blocks weighs 1.0 kg and accelerates downward at 3/4g.

g denotes the acceleration due to gravity.

Let M represent the block with known mass, while 'm' signifies the mass of the other block and 'a' refers to the acceleration of body M.

Given M = 1.0 kg and a = 3/4g.

By applying Newton's second law; \sum fy = ma_y

For the body with mass m;

T - mg = ma... (1)

For the body with mass M;

Mg - T = Ma... (2)

Combining equations 1 and 2 gives;

+Mg -mg = ma + Ma

Ma-Mg = -mg-ma

M(a-g) = -m(a+g)

Substituting M = 1.0 kg and a = 3/4g into this equation leads to;

3/4 g-g = -m(3/4 g+g)

3/4 g-g = -m(7/4 g)

-g/4 = -m(7/4 g)

1/4 = 7m/4

Multiplying gives: 28m = 4

m = 1/7 kg

Hence, the mass of the other box is 1/7 kg

serg [3582]
The duration required for the seventh car to pass amounts to 13.2 seconds. The train's movement is characterized by uniform acceleration, enabling the application of suvat equations. Initially, we analyze the movement of the first car, utilizing the equation for distance s covered in time t, which corresponds to the length of one car, with u = 0 as the initial velocity and a representing acceleration, over t = 5.0 s. We can rearrange the equation reflecting L as the length of one car. This is similarly applicable for the initial seven cars, accounting for the distance of 7L and the required time t'. With constant acceleration retained, we can derive t' through substitution in the equation, leading to fundamental conclusions regarding the relationship exhibited in the graph of distance against time in uniformly accelerated motion.
