Answer:

Geothermal gradient

Explanation:

The thermal gradient is often defined as the rate of increase in temperature with respect to the increase in the subsurface depth. This accounts for more than 50% of the total heat energy of the earth. The geothermal gradient is approximately 25° C/km beneath the earth's surface. This heat results from the decay of the radioactive elements that are at great depths. In addition to this, the latent heat is also produced due to the crystallization of the core. Due to this heat energy, that is transmitted to the upper mantle, the plates are able to move over the layer of the Asthenosphere.

This heat energy obtained from the interior of the earth is known as geothermal energy.

A 60 kg block slides along the top of a 100 kg block with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when a horizontal force F of 340 N is appl

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction and acceleration are 0.37 and 2.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Suppose we find the coefficient of friction and the acceleration of the 100 kg block during the time that the 60 kg block remains in contact.

Given that,

Mass of block = 60 kg

Acceleration = 2.0 m/s²

Mass = 100 kg

Horizontal force = 340 N

Let the frictional force be f.

We need to calculate the frictional force

Using balance equation

$F-f=ma$

Put the value into the formula

$340-f=60\times2.0$

$f=340-60\times2.0$

$f=220\ N$

We need to calculate the coefficient of friction

Using formula of friction force

$f= \mu mg$

$\mu=\dfrac{f}{mg}$

$\mu=\dfrac{220}{60\times9.8}$

$\mu =0.37$

We need to calculate the acceleration of the 100 kg block

Using formula of newton's law

$F = ma$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{220}{100}$

$a=2.2\ m/s^2$

Hence, The coefficient of friction and acceleration are 0.37 and 2.2 m/s²

A bucket of water of mass 14.0 kg is suspended by a rope wrapped around a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.260

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 41.38 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bucket of water = 14.0 kg

Diameter of cylinder = 0.260 m

Mass of cylinder = 12.1 kg

Distance = 10.7 m

Suppose we need to find that,

What is the tension in the rope while the bucket is falling

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using relation of torque

$\tau=F\times r$

$I\times\alpha=F\times r$

Where, I = moment of inertia

$\alpha$ = angular acceleration

$\dfrac{Mr^2}{2}\times\dfrac{a}{r}=F\times r$

$F=\dfrac{M}{2}a$ ...(I)

Here, F = tension

The force is

$F=m(g-a)$ ...(II)

Where, F = tension

a = acceleration

From equation (I) and (II)

$\dfrac{M}{2}a=m(g-a)$

$a=\dfrac{g}{1+\dfrac{M}{2m}}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{9.8}{1+\dfrac{12.1}{2\times14.0}}$

$a=6.84\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the tension in the rope

Using equation (I)

$F=\dfrac{M}{2}a$

Put the value into the formula

$F=\dfrac{12.1}{2}\times6.84$

$F=41.38\ N$

Hence, The tension in the rope is 41.38 N.

Three packing crates of masses, M1 = 6 kg, M2 = 2 kg and M3 = 8 kg are connected by a light string of negligible mass that passe

never [62]

Answer:

39.81 N

Explanation:

I attached an image of the free body diagrams I drew of crate #1 and #2.

Using these diagram, we can set up a system of equations for the sum of forces in the x and y direction.

∑Fₓ = maₓ

∑Fᵧ = maᵧ

Let's start with the free body diagram for crate #2. Let's set the positive direction on top and the negative direction on the bottom. We can see that the forces acting on crate #2 are in the y-direction, so let's use Newton's 2nd Law to write this equation:

∑Fᵧ = maᵧ
T₁ - m₂g = m₂aᵧ

Note that the tension and acceleration are constant throughout the system since the string has a negligible mass. Therefore, we don't really need to write the subscripts under T and a, but I am doing so just so there is no confusion.

Let's solve for T in the equation...

T₁ = m₂aᵧ + m₂g
T₁ = m₂(a + g)

We'll come back to this equation later. Now let's go to the free body diagram for crate #1.

We want to solve for the forces in the x-direction now. Let's set the leftwards direction to be positive and the rightwards direction to be negative.

∑Fₓ = maₓ

F_f - F_g sinΘ = maₓ

The normal force is equal to the x-component of the force of gravity.

(F_n · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ

(F_g cosΘ · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ
[m₁g cos(30) · 0.28] - [m₁g sin(30)] = m₁aₓ
[(6)(9.8)cos(30) · 0.28] - [(6)(9.8)sin(30)] = (6)aₓ
[2.539595871] - [-58.0962595] = 6aₓ
60.63585537 = 6aₓ
aₓ = 10.1059759 m/s²

Now let's go back to this equation:

T₁ = m₂(a + g)

We have 3 known variables and we can solve for the tension force.

T = 2(10.1059759 + 9.8)
T = 2(19.9059759)
T = 39.8119518 N

The tension force is the same throughout the string, therefore, the tension in the string connecting M2 and M3 is 39.81 N.
