Answer:
A) B = 24 ft
B) H = 24.08 ft
C) M.A = 12.04
D) P = 13.7 lb
Explanation:
A)
Minimum allowable length of base of ramp can be found as follows:
Slope = H/B
where,
Slope = 1/12
H = Height of Ramp = 2 ft
B = Length of Base of Ramp = ?
Therefore,
1/12 = 2 ft/B
B = 2 ft * 12
<u>B = 24 ft</u>
B)
The length of the slope of ramp can be found by using pythagora's theorem:
L = √H² + B²
where,
H = Perpendicular = height = 2 ft
B = Base = Length of Base of Ramp = 24 ft
L = Hypotenuse = Length of Slope of Ramp = ?
Therefore,
H = √[(2 ft)² + (24 ft)²]
<u>H = 24.08 ft</u>
D)
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is given by the following formula:
M.A = L/H
M.A = 24.08 ft/2 ft
<u>M.A = 12.04</u>
D)
Another general formula for Mechanical Advantage is:
M.A = W/P
where,
W = Ideal Load = 165 lb
P = Ideal Effort Force = ?
Therefore,
12.04 = 165 lb/P
P = 165 lb/12.04
<u>P = 13.7 lb</u>
Answer:
The correct option is a
Explanation:
The alpha particle has the lowest penetrating power of the trio of alpha, beta and gamma particles and can be stopped by a sheet of paper and hence cannot penetrate a human skin. Beta particle has a higher penetrating power than alpha particle (some of it penetrates the human skin and some do not) while the gamma particle has the highest penetrating power (with all of it penetrating the human skin).
From the above description, it can be deduced that the alpha particle will stay and interact with the hand (because of its low penetrating power) as the remaining particles move through the skin.
The question "<span>In a redox reaction the substance that accepts electrons is said to be?" is a bit vague. By definition, a "redox" or "reduction" reaction is one where classified by a gain of electrons. On the other hand, if it is a loss of electrons, then it is an oxidation reaction.</span>
