Answer:

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Explanation:

The electric field intensity generated by the plate is calculated as σ/ε₀, where σ denotes the surface charge density of the plate.

In a state of equilibrium,

The upward force equals the downward force

Tcosθ = mg ----(1)

Assuming that the forward force equals the backward force, then

Tsinθ = σq/ε₀

[ ∵ F = qE, ∴ F = qσ/ε₀ ] -----(2)

Dividing equation (2) by equation (1)

Tsinθ/Tcosθ = qσ/ε₀mg

This leads to Tanθ = qσ/ε₀mg

Consequently, σ = ε₀mg tanθ/q

Now, substituting in the values gives us

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

An axle passes through a pulley. Each end of the axle has a string that is tied to a support. A third string is looped many time
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

ΔL = MmRgt / (2m + M)

Explanation:

The system starts from rest, so the change in angular momentum correlates directly to its final angular momentum.

ΔL = L − L₀

ΔL = Iω − 0

ΔL = ½ MR²ω

To determine the angular velocity ω, begin by drawing a free body diagram for both the pulley and the block.

For the block, two forces act: the weight force mg downward and tension force T upward.

For the pulley, three forces are present: weight force Mg down, a reaction force up, and tension force T downward.

For the sum of forces in the -y direction on the block:

∑F = ma

mg − T = ma

T = mg − ma

For the sum of torques on the pulley:

∑τ = Iα

TR = (½ MR²) (a/R)

T = ½ Ma

Substituting gives:

mg − ma = ½ Ma

2mg − 2ma = Ma

2mg = (2m + M) a

a = 2mg / (2m + M)

The angular acceleration of the pulley is:

αR = 2mg / (2m + M)

α = 2mg / (R (2m + M))

Finally, the angular velocity after time t is:

ω = αt + ω₀

ω = 2mg / (R (2m + M)) t + 0

ω = 2mgt / (R (2m + M))

Substituting into the previous equations gives:

ΔL = ½ MR² × 2mgt / (R (2m + M))

ΔL = MmRgt / (2m + M)

If a 50.0-kg mass weighs 554 n on the planet saturn, calculate saturn’s radius
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

17.35 × 10^(-6) m

Explanation:

Mass; m = 50 kg

Weight; W = 554 N

From the formula:

W = mg

This simplifies to; 554 = 50g

g = 554/50

g = 11.08 m/s²

Also, using the formula;

mg = GMm/r²

hence; g = GM/r²

Rearranging gives;

r = √(GM/g)

With G as a known constant of 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

r = √(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 50/11.08)

r = 17.35 × 10^(-6) m
