- (Conversion) An object’s polar moment of inertia, J, represents its resistance to twisting. For a cylinder, this moment of inertia is given by this formula: J=mr2/2+m( l 2 +3r 2 )/12misthecylindersmass( kg).listhecylinderslength(m).risthecylindersradius(m). Using this formula, determine the units for the cylinder’s polar moment of inertia.arrow_forwardAn aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 4.60 x 10-6 m? carries a current of 7.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm³. Assume each aluminum atom supplies one conduction electron per atom. Find the drift speed of the electrons in the wire. 1.95E-4 The equation for the drift velocity includes the number of charge carriers per volume, which in this case is equal to the number of atoms per volume. How do you calculate that if you know the density and the atomic weight of aluminum? mm/sarrow_forwardA 200 gallon tank initially contains 100 gallons of water with 20 pounds of salt. A salt solution with 1/5 pound of salt per gallon is added to the tank at 10 gal/min, and the resulting mixture is drained out at 5 gal/min. Let Q(t) denote the quantity (lbs) of salt at time t (min). (a) Write a differential equation for Q(t) which is valid up until the point at which the tank overflows.

- 1. A 500-liter tank initially contains 10 g of salt dissolved in 200 liters of water. Starting at to = 0, water that contains 1/4 g of salt per liter is poured into the tank at the rate of 4 liters/min and the mixture is drained from the tank at the rate of 2 liters/min. Determine the quantity Q(t) of salt in the tank at time t = 0 until the time when the tank overflows. Code a C program which determined this quantity Q(t) by using RK4 method with h = 1. Note: May use the concept of function prototypes, function definition, function call, recursion etc. in a program. 2.

During the first 0.15 s the rocket is propelled upward by the rocket engine with a force of 16 N. The rocket then flies up while slowing down under the force of gravity. After it reaches the apex, the rocket starts to fall back down. When its downward velocity reaches 20 m/s, a parachute opens (assumed to open instantly), and the rocket continues to drop at a constant speed of 20 m/s until it hits the ground. Write a program that calculates and plots the speed and altitude of the rocket as a function of time during the flight.arrow_forwardA capacitor, an electric resistance heater and an impedance are connected in parallel to a 120V 60HZ system.
