Question 11

An object is held by three wires: two wires pull up at angles $$\$$theta_1$$ and $$\$$theta_2$$, and one wire pulls down. If the object's weight is $$W$$, what is the tension $$T_1 in $$the first wire?

Accepted Answer

$$T_1$$ = \frac{W \sin \$$theta_2$$}{\sin \$$theta_1$$ + \sin \$$theta_2$$}$$

Question 12

How much heat is needed to convert ice at $$-T to $$water at $$0^\circC$$?

Accepted Answer

$$Q = m c_{ice} T + m L_f$$

Question 13

A person holds a weight with their forearm parallel to the ground. If the weight is $$W$$, the distance from the elbow to the weight is $$d$$, and the muscle attaches at distance $$d_m$$ from the elbow at angle $$	heta$$, what force $$F_m$$ must the muscle exert?

Accepted Answer

$$F_m = \frac{W d}{d_m \sin 	heta}$$

Question 14

A refrigerator removes $$Q_{in}$$ heat from inside and expels $$Q_{out}$$ heat outside. What is the work $$W$$ done by the refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

$$W = Q_{out} - Q_{in}$$

Question 15

A cart moves in a vertical loop of radius $$R. $$What is the minimum speed $$v_{min} at $$the top of the loop to keep the cart on the track?

Accepted Answer

$$v_{min} = \sqrt{gR}$$

Question 16

A Ferris wheel slows down from angular velocity $$\$$omega_0$$ with angular acceleration $$\alpha$$ (negative). How many revolutions N$ does it make before stopping?

Accepted Answer

$$N = \frac{\$$omega_0$$^2}{4 \pi |\alpha|}$$

Question 17

Two blocks collide on a frictionless surface. Block 1 (mass $$m_1) $$moves at $$v_1$$ and block 2 (mass $$m_2) is $$stationary. If the collision lasts time $$\Delta t$$ and block 1 rebounds with velocity $$v_1$$'$$, what is the average force F$ during the collision?
