The correct answer is "His teacher advised it because he did not have time to tutor Euler privately." I completed the assignment and got it correct.
The tension does not approach infinity.
<span>Let's analyze free body diagrams (FBDs) for each mass, considering the direction of motion of m₁ as positive.
For m₁: m₁*g - T = m₁*a
For m₂: T - m₂*g = m₂*a
Assuming a massless cord and pulley without friction, the accelerations are the same.
From the second equation: a = (T - m₂*g) / m₂
Substitute into the first:
m₁*g - T = m₁ * [(T - m₂*g) / m₂]
Rearranging:
m₁*g - T = (m₁*T)/m₂ - m₁*g
2*m₁*g = T * (1 + m₁/m₂)
2*m₁*m₂*g = T * (m₂ + m₁)
T = (2*m₁*m₂*g) / (m₂ + m₁)
Taking the limit as m₁ approaches infinity:
T = 2*m₂*g
This aligns with intuition since the greatest acceleration m₁ can have is -g. The cord then accelerates m₂ upward at g while gravity acts downward, leading to a maximum upward acceleration of 2*g for m₁.</span>
Answer: D. 45 inches, 75 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To resolve this inquiry, we first need to divide the board's total length by the number of segments forming the two sections.
Given the ratio of 3:5, one section consists of 3 segments and the other of 5, making a total of 8 segments.
120 divided by 8 equals 15 inches for each segment.
Next, we multiply the length of each segment by how many segments each section has (3 and 5).
15 times 3 equals 45 inches.
15 times 5 equals 75 inches.
Answer: y = 2/5 --> y = 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation 5y = 2 represents a horizontal line at y = 2/5.
This means that the y-coordinate holds the value of 2/5 = 0.4 for any x-coordinate.
