To determine

The maximum and minimum of A+B.

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 74P

The maximum and minimum of A+B are 29m and 5m respectively.

Explanation of Solution

When the two vectors are in the same direction, A+B will be maximum. The maximum of A+B is given by,

    (A+B)max=|A|+|B|

When the two vectors are in the opposite direction, A+B will be minimum. The minimum of A+B is given by,

    (A+B)min=|B||A|

Conclusion:

Substitute 12 m for |A| and 17 m for |B| to get (A+B)max.

    (A+B)max=(12m)+(17m)=29m

Substitute 12 m for |A| and 17 m for |B| to get (A+B)min.

    (A+B)min=(17m)(12m)=5m

Therefore, the maximum and minimum of A+B are 29m and 5m respectively.

(b)

To determine

The maximum and minimum of AB.

Answer to Problem 74P

The maximum and minimum of AB are 29m and 5m respectively.

Explanation of Solution

When the two vectors are in the opposite direction, AB will be maximum. The maximum of AB is given by,

    (AB)max=|A|(|B|)=|A|+|B|

When the two vectors are in the same direction, AB will be minimum. The minimum of AB is given by,

    (AB)min=|B||A|

Conclusion:

Substitute 12 m for |A| and 17 m for |B| to get (AB)max.

    (AB)max=(12m)(17m)=29m

Substitute 12 m for |A| and 17 m for |B| to get (AB)min.

    (AB)min=(17m)(12m)=5m

Therefore, the maximum and minimum of AB are 29m and 5m respectively.

Part A ■Review The uniform 150-lb stone (rectangular block) is being turned over on its side by pulling the vertical cable slowly upward until the stone begins to tip. (Figure 1) If it then falls freely (T = 0) from an essentially balanced at-rest position, determine the speed at which the corner A strikes the pad at B. The stone does not slip at its corner C as it falls. Suppose that height of the stone is L = 1.2 ft.

Consider the circuit shown in the figure. The battery has emf ε = 69 volts and negligible internal resistance. The inductance is L = 0.4 H and the resistances are R 1 = 12 Ω and R 2 = 9.0 Ω. Initially the switch S is open and no currents flow. Then the switch is closed. After leaving the switch closed for a very long time, it is opened again. Just after it is opened, what is the current in R 1?
