Q. An Atwood machine consists of two masses, = 7.1 and = 8.7 , connected by a cord that passes over a pulley free to rotate about a fixed axis. The pulley is a solid cylinder of radius = 0.40 and mass 0.70 .Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of each mass.
Q. A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 25 A. The wire is 8 gauge, which means that its cross-sectional area is 0.13 cm2.
(a) Find the difference in potential between the bird's feet, assuming they are separated by a distance of 5.5 cm.
(b) Will your answer to part (a) increase or decrease if the separation between the bird's feet decreases?
