- A simple pendulum of length L, has a maximum angular displacement e_max. At one point in its motion, its kinetic energy is K = 3 J and its potential energy is U = 4.2 J. When the pendulum's angular velocity is one-fourth its maximum value (0' = %3D O'_max/4), then its kinetic energy is:arrow_forwardM D d T M. P- A circular shaft having diameters D and d and a groove of radius r (with M = 0 and P O) is made of steel with the allowable shear stress tall. Find the maximum torque I that can be transmitted by the shaft. Given: D = 28mm, d = 20mm, r = 4mm, and tall = 250 MPa. Please help with this question. The answer should be 157.1 Nmarrow_forwardThe following data were gathered to determine the relationship between pressure and temperature of a fixed volume of 1 kg nitrogen. The volume is 10 m3. Using Numerical Methods, employ the ideal gas law pV=nRT to determine R on the basis of data. Note that for the law, T must be expressed in kelvins.arrow_forward
- Problem: The third side of the triangle is 8 less than twice the sum of the two other sides and the first side is 5 more than the thrice the second side. If the perimeter is given, how long are its sides?arrow_forward8. A parametric equation is given by x= 3t 3t2 (Note that the denominator approaches 0 when t approaches -1) Plot the function (the plot is called the Folium of Descartes) by plotting two curves in the same plot-one y = 1+t3 1+t3 for -30arrow_forwardA circle in the XY-coordinate system is specified by the center coordinates (x, y) and radius (r). Read the values for 2 circles- x1, y1, r1 for C1 and x2, y2, r2 for C2. (i) Determine whether the 2 circles intersect. To solve the problem it suffices to check if the distance between the 2 centers is lesser than the sum of radii of the 2 circles. (ii) Find the smallest circle that encloses the two circles and return its center coordinates and radius. programming language - carrow_forward(Numerical analysis) Here’s a challenging problem for those who know a little calculus. The Newton-Raphson method can be used to find the roots of any equation y(x)=0. In this method, the (i+1)stapproximation,xi+1,toarootofy(x)=0 is given in terms of the ith approximation, xi, by the following formula, where y’ denotes the derivative of y(x) with respect to x: xi+1=xiy(xi)/y(xi) For example, if y(x)=3x2+2x2,theny(x)=6x+2 , and the roots are found by making a reasonable guess for a first approximation x1 and iterating by using this equation: xi+1=xi(3xi2+2xi2)/(6xi+2) a. Using the Newton-Raphson method, find the two roots of the equation 3x2+2x2=0. (Hint: There’s one positive root and one negative root.) b. Extend the program written for Exercise 6a so that it finds the roots of any function y(x)=0, when the function for y(x) and the derivative of y(x) are placed in the code.arrow_forward(Thermodynamics) The work, W, performed by a single piston in an engine can be determined by this formula: W=Fd F is the force provided by the piston in Newtons. d is the distance the piston moves in meters. a.
