- The force on a particle is described by 8x³+1 at a point æ along the x-axis. Find the work done in moving the particle from the origin to = 5.arrow_forwardThe figure shows wire 1 in cross section; the wire is long and straight, carries a current of 4.00 mA out of the page, and is at distance d1 = 2.68 cm from a surface. Wire 2, which is parallel to wire 1 and also long, is at horizontal distance d2 = 5.12 cm from wire 1 and carries a current of 7.12 mA into the page. What is thex component of the magnetic force per unit length on wire 2 due to wire 1? Number i 8.74 Units N/marrow_forwardA projectile fired into the first quadrant from the origin of a coordinate system will pass through the point (x,y) at time t according 2x to the relationship cot 0 D where 0 is the angle of elevation of the launcher and g is the acceleration due to gravity (32.2 2y + gt +gt² feet/second2). An artilleryman is firing at an enemy bunker located 2625 feet up the side of a hill that is 6025 feet away. He fires a round, and exactly 2.54 seconds later he scores a direct hit. ..... (a) What angle of elevation did he use? e = 24.4 ° %3D (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal place as needed.) vot where vo (b) If the angle of elevation is also given by sec 0= is the muzzle velocity of the weapon, find the muzzle velocity of the artillery piece he used. Vo = feet/second (Round to two decimal places as needed.) %3Darrow_forward
- A helicopter flies over the arctic ice pack at a constant altitude, towing an airborne 147-kg laser sensor which measures the thickness of the ice (see the drawing). The helicopter and the sensor move only in the horizontal direction and have a horizontal acceleration of magnitude 2.54 m/s2. Ignoring air resistance, find the tension in the cable towing the sensor.arrow_forward3x + 2y = 6; x = 0; y = 0; axis OY. Find the moment of inertia.arrow_forwardFind the WORK done to empty a tank with a (equilateral) triangular base 12 ft on a side and 20 ft high, which is filled up to 12 feet. The liquid in the tank has peculiar properties. The density of the liquid increases linearly according to the depth of the liquid. The top of the liquid has weight density is 40 lbs/ft° and it increases linearly until the bottom, where it is 100 Ibs/ft (The liquid is moved up and over the top.). Express your answer in exact form and approximate form to the nearest whole number.arrow_forward
