The coefficient of static friction for both wedge surfaces is μw=0.4 and that between the 27-kg concrete block and the β=20° inc

line is μg=0.7.
If the wedge has an angle of 5° determine the minimum value of the force P2, parallel to the fixed surface on the left, required to begin moving the block up the incline.

Assuming  the wedge has an angle of 5°.The minimum value of the force P that is required to begin moving the block up the incline is: 322.84 N.

<h3>Minimum value of force P</h3>

First step

Using this formula to find the weight of the block

W=mg

W=27×9.81

W=264.87 N

Second step

Angles of friction ∅A and ∅B

∅A=tan^-1(μA)

∅A=tan^-1(0.70)

∅A=34.99°

∅B=tan^-1(μB)

∅B=tan^-1(0.40)

∅B=21.80°

Third step

Equate the sum of forces in m-direction to 0 in order to find the reaction force at B.

∑fm=0

W sin (∅A+20°)  + RB cos (∅B+∅A)=0

264.87 sin(34.99°+20°) + RB cos (21.80°+34.99°)=0

216.94+0.5477Rb=0

RB=216.94/0.5477

RB=396.09 N

Fourth step

Equate the sum of forces in x-direction to 0 in order to find force Rc.

∑fx=0

RB cos (∅B) - RC cos (∅B+ 5°)=0

396.09 cos(21.80°) - RC cos (21.80°+5°)=0

RC=396.09 cos(21.80°)/cos(26.80°)

RC=412.02 N

Last step

Equate the sum of forces in y-direction to 0 in order to find force P required to move the block up the incline.

∑fy=0

RB sin (∅B) + RC sin (∅B)-P=0

P=Rb sin (∅B) + RC sin (5°+∅B)

P=396.09 sin(21.80°) +412.02sin (5°+21.80°)

P=322.84 N

Inconclusion the minimum value of the force P that is required to begin moving the block up the incline is: 322.84 N.

Calculate the rate at which body heat is conducted through the clothing of a skier in a steady- state process, given the followi
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

230.4W

Explanation:

Heat transfer by conduction consists of the transport of energy in the form of heat through solids, in this case a jacket.

the equation is as follows

Q=\frac{KA(T2-T1)}{L} \\

Where

Q=heat

k=conductivity=0.04

A=Area=1.8m^2

T2=33C

T1=1C

L=thickness=1cm=0.01mQ=\frac{(0.04)(1.8m^2)(33-1)}{0.01m}

Q=230.4W

the skier loses heat at the rate of 230.4W
