A cable with a diameter of 6mm is used to lift crate. Calculate the mass of the crate required to create a stress of 350 MPa.

Let's begin with the definition of stress:

Stress = F/A

First, we need to recall that the force the weight of the crate will exert on the cable will be equal to:

F= m*g

We know...

A ball is launched upwards at 30 degrees to horizontal with a velocity of 20 metres per second, how far does it travel before landing? (no air resistance)

Vertcal component of velocity: 20Sin(30)

Rearrange suvat equation for t in terms of u, a, s

t is the time in the air and is what we want, u is 20sin(30), a is -9.81 (negative since gravity p...

Two immobile point charges Q1 and Q2 of values +q and +3q respectively are some distance apart. Q3, with value +2q is placed between them and does not move. What is the ratio of the distance between Q3 and Q2 to the distance between Q1 and Q3?

As Q3 remains stationary, it is clear that it is not accelerating. Thus we can deduce from Newton's second law that there is no resultant force acting upon the charge. However there are still e...

Newton's Law of Gravitation states: F=GMm/r^2, where G is the gravitational constant (6.67×10−11m^3kg^−1s^−2). Kepler's Third Law, states t^2=kR^3. The mass of the sun is 1.99x10^30kg. Find the value of k and its units

F=GMm/r2=mv2/r, v=2pir/t

equating the two values for F and remembering to include the equation for v, GMm/r^2 = m(2pir/t^2)^2/r. Rearranging to find t^2, t^2 = 4pi^...
