    Current after (1) time constant in RC circuits

    Homework Statement Maximum current: I max = 4.62 * 10^-4 A Time constant of circuit: T = 3.9 secondsHomework Equations T= RC The Attempt at a Solution I'm trying to find the current after 1 time constant. Seems simple enough, the current changes by 63%. So (Imax)-(Imax * 0.63) or...

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    I figured this and thought I'd post the solution: Height at elevated position = 15 cos 32 = 12.72m Therefore h = 15-12.72 = 2.28m

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    has anyone got any idea, please? At this point I tried everything and I just can't get my answer to fit both a final velocity of 6.7 m/s and a reasonable height

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    Thank you but I still think there is some other solution that jiggles with Newton's laws. If someone figures it please post.

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    This is ridiculous... I'm sure the answer should be fairly easy.

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    I tried it and the final velocity came up as 17 m/s, I know this is wrong because in the next part it says SHOW that the final velocity just before impact = 6.7 m/s

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    Can you please attempt it? I have solved other parts of this question and I will see if your calculated height fits in with the rest.

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    I don't think so, because at the vertical position the total energy would equal kinetic energy + some potential energy therefore mgh = 0.5 mv^2 + mgh And both velocity & height are missing from the right side of the equation.
  9. R

    Equilibrium and impulsive forces (crane and demolition ball problem)

    Homework Statement The Attempt at a Solution I tried to find the acceleration using F= ma Resultant force = Tension - mg so a = (10295.2-8730)/890 = 1.758 m/s^2 but I don't think it works that way... please help.
