A 10-mm-diameter cable is strung between a series of poles that are 50 m apart. Determine the horizontal force this cable puts on each pole if the wind velocity is 34 m/s.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value is  [tex]F = 562.7 \ N[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter is  [tex]d = 10 \ mm = 0.01 \ m[/tex]

    The distance between the poles is  L =  50 m

      The velocity of the wind is  [tex]v = 34 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally the horizontal force the cable puts on each other is mathematically represented as

           [tex]F = \frac{1}{2} * C_D * \rho * v^2 * A[/tex]

Here A is the area of the rope(i.e assuming the rope to be a cylinder ) which is mathematically represented as

      [tex]A = L * d[/tex]

=>   [tex]A = 0.01 * 50[/tex]

=>   [tex]A = 0.5[/tex]

Here [tex]C_D[/tex] is the coefficient of discharge of the rope and the value is  [tex]C_D = 1.5[/tex]

         [tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of air with value   [tex]\rho = 1.225 \ kg/m^3[/tex]

 So

    [tex]F = \frac{1}{2} * C_D * \rho * v^2 * A[/tex]

=>  [tex]F = \frac{1}{2} * 1.5 * 1.225 * 34^2 * 0.5[/tex]

=>   [tex]F = 562.7 \ N[/tex]
