The tension in the rope B is determined as 10.9 N.

<h3>Vertical angle of cable B</h3>

tanθ = (6 - 4)/(5 - 0)

tan θ = (2)/(5)

tan θ = 0.4

θ = arc tan(0.4) = 21.8 ⁰

<h3>Angle between B and C</h3>

θ = 21.8 ⁰ + 21.8 ⁰ = 43.6⁰

Apply cosine rule to determine the tension in rope B;

A² = B² + C² - 2BC(cos A)

B = C

A² = B² + B² - (2B²)(cos A)

A² = 2B² - 2B²(cos 43.6)

A² = 0.55B²

B² = A²/0.55

B² = 65.3/0.55

B² = 118.73

B = √(118.73)

B = 10.9 N

Thus, the tension in the rope B is determined as 10.9 N.

Hello!

This is an example of a force summation in the vertical direction.

We have the tension of rope A upward (+), and the equal vertical components of the tensions of rope B and C downward (-).

These forces sum to zero, since the knot is stationary.

\Sigma F = T_A - T_{By} - T_{Cy} \\\\0 = T_A - T_{By} - T_{Cy}

Ropes 'B' and 'C' form equivalent angles from the vertical. (If you were to draw a line from rope A down). We can use right-triangle trig to determine the angle:

tan^{-1}(\frac{O}{A}) = \theta

The ropes are 5 m long and 2 m tall, which are the opposite and adjacent sides respectively:
tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{2}) = 68.2^o

The vertical components are the adjacent sides from this angle, so, we would use cosine.

0 = T_A - T_Bcos\theta - T_Ccos\theta

Rope 'B' and 'C' have the same tensions since they form the same angle with the vertical and are the same length, so we can call them 'T'.

0 = T_A  - 2Tcos\theta

Solving for 'T':

2Tcos\theta = T_A \\\\T = \frac{T_A}{2cos\theta}\\\\T = \frac{65.3}{2cos(68.2)} = \boxed{87.92 N}

- A fridge has a maximum static friction force
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

They will move the fridge if they all push in the same direction, but it will not move with constant velocity

Explanation:

The maximum static friction force is

F_f = -250 N (negative sign since its direction is opposite to the push applied by the people)

Sam can apply a force of 130 N, while Amir and Andre can apply a push of 65 N each, so the total force that they can apply, if they push in the same direction, will be:

F=130 + 65 +65=260 N

This force is larger than the frictional force, so the fridge will start moving.

However, the net force on the fridge will be:

\sum F = 260 N - 250 N = 10 N

And according to Newton's second law,

\sum F = ma

where m is the mass of the fridge and a its acceleration, since the net force is not zero, then the fridge will have a non-zero acceleration, so it will not move with constant  velocity.

a car moving with a speed of 10 metre per second is accelerator at the rate of 2 metre per second square find its velocity after
STatiana [176]

a = ( v(2) - v(1) ) ÷ ( t(2) - t(1) )

2 = ( v(2) - 10 ) ÷ ( 6 - 0 )

2 × 6 = v(2) - 10

v(2) = 12 + 10

v(2) = 22 m/s

a. How many excess electrons must be distributed uniformly within the volume of an isolated plastic sphere 25.0 cm in diameter t
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The electric field outside the sphere is given as,

E = k Q /r²

here Q = n x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

where n is the number of electons

if the dimeter of sphere d= 25 cm= 0.25 m

then the radius r = 0.125 m

we get

n= E r²/ k x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

n = 1350N/C x (0.125m)² / (8.99 x 10⁹ N m²/C² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

n = 14664731646
