    Calculating Winch Power for an Inclined Ore Car: 30 Degree Incline | 950kg Mass

    Homework Statement A loaded ore car has a mass of 950kg and rolls on rails with negligible friction. It starts from rest and is pulled up a mine shaft by a cable connected to a winch. The shaft is inclined at 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. The car accelerates uniformly to a speed of 2.2...

    Torque and Inertia of objects on Inclined plane

    Im not sure how to put a diagram on this forum, but If i apply Newtons second law, I don't end up with the same Tensions as the book answer. F = ma I come up with 6.08 N for T1

    Torque and Inertia of objects on Inclined plane

    Homework Statement a block with mass m1= 2 kg, and a block of mass m2 = 6kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley in the shape of a solid disk having radius R = .25m and mass M = 10 kg. These blocks are allowed to move on a fixed wedge of angle pheta = 30 degrees. the coefficient of...

    Vol. & Area of Revolved Graph: Prove Finite Volume & Infinite Area

    -This is what I've figured out so far: The area of the curve under the graph can be approximated using calculus, hence its finite. And if I revolve it, the volume is finite, because the area used was finite. However To get the surface area I would need to rotate the length of the curve, which...

    Vol. & Area of Revolved Graph: Prove Finite Volume & Infinite Area

    Well, Like i said, A classmate thought it was 1/sqrt(x) and i thought it was 1/x^2..but we both could be wrong i suppose. I graphed 1/x and it does seem to make more sense, so Ill just go with that and If its not correct so be it. He didnt state any integral either, just the function and the...
