Chapter 16, Problem 1SA
How will an electrical circuit behave if there is a short in the circuit?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The behaviour of an electric circuit, if there is any short in it.
Explanation of Solution
The short circuits were also referred as low resistance circuits. If there is any short existing in the circuit, it causes unparallel legs or a path to be built into the circuit. These unintended paths increase the flow of current into the circuit. Due to this high current, the circuit becomes uncontrollable and can damage the entire electrical system of the vehicle. The reasons for occurring shorts in the electrical system is perhaps due to loose wire connection, damaged wires insulation, and improper wiring or careless installation of accessories.

For the position shown in the figure the spring is unstretched. The spring constant k, is designed such that after the system is released from rest, the speed of the mass is zero just as the 0.6 slug mass touches the floor. Find the spring constant, k and the maximum speed of block A and the location (distance above floor) where this occurs.

Question 1
The engine of a 3500-N car is generating a constant power of 50 hp (horsepower)
while the car is traveling up the slope with a constant speed. If the engine is
operating with an efficiency of € 0.8, determine the speed of the car. Neglect
drag and rolling resistance. Use g 9.81 m/s² and 1 hp = 745.7 W.

Question 2
A man pushes on a 60-N crate with a force F. The force is always directed downward at an angle of 30°
from the horizontal, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force is gradually increased until the crate
begins to slide. Determine the crate's initial acceleration once it starts to move. Assume the coefficient of
static friction is μ = 0.6, the coefficient of kinetic…
