a) 53.7 rad

b) 21.7 cm/s

c) 1.28 rad/s

d) 12.2 rpm

Explanation:

The ant sits on the cd at a distance of

r = 17 cm

from the centre: this is therefore the radius of the circle covered by the ant.

Therefore, we can find the length of the circumference of the circle:

$c=2\pi r=2\pi(17)=106.8 cm$

A full circle corresponds to an angle of

$\theta = 2\pi$ rad

In this problem instead, the distance covered by the ant along the circle is

d = 913 cm

Therefore, the angle corresponding to this distance can be found by using the rule of three:

$\frac{\theta}{c}=\frac{\theta'}{d}$

And so we find:

$\theta'=\theta \frac{d}{c}=(2\pi)\frac{913}{106.8}=53.7 rad$

The speed of the ant can be calculated by using

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the distance travelled by the ant

t is the time taken to cover that distance

v is the speed

In this problem:

d = 913 cm is the distance covered by the ant

t = 42 s is the time elapsed

Therefore, the speed of the ant is:

$v=\frac{913}{42}=21.7 cm/s$

The angular velocity of an object in rotation is the rate of change of the angular displacement.

The angular velocity is related to the linear speed by

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

where

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

v is the linear speed

r is the radius of the circle

In this problem:

v = 21.7 cm/s is the speed of the ant

r = 17 cm is the radius of the circle

So, the angular velocity of the ant is:

$\omega=\frac{21.7}{17}=1.28 rad/s$

The rpm means "revolutions per minute", and it is another units used to express the angular velocity.

In order to convert the angular velocity from radians per second to rmp, we must keep in mind that:

1 revolution = $2\pi$ radians

1 minute = 60 seconds

The angular velocity of the ant in this problem is

$\omega=1.28 rad/s$

Therefore, in order to convert to rpm, we apply the two conversion factors above, and so we get:

$\omega = 1.28 \frac{rad}{s}\cdot \frac{60 s/min}{2\pi rad/rev}=12.2 rev/min$

So, the cd is turning at 12.2 rpm.

Answer from: Quest

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?
