The fraction of the original mass that was lost in the second month is 1/12.

<h3>What is the fraction?</h3>

A fraction is a non-integer that is made up of numerators and denominators. An example of a fraction is 1/10.

Weight lost in the first month = 1/6 x 120 = 20kg

Weight lost in the second month = 1/10 x (120 - 20)

= 1/10 x 100 = 10kg

Fraction of the original mass that was lost in the second month : weight lost in the second month / total mass

10 kg / 120 = 1/12

A 140 kg camera is suspended by two wires over a 40 metre wide football field to get shots of the action from above. At one poin

Answer:

Please red the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the length of each cable you use the Newton second law for each component of the forces involved in the situation.

For the x component you have:

$T_1cos\theta_1-T_2cos\theta_2=0$ (1)

T1: tension of the first cable = 1500N

T2: tension of the second cable = 800N

θ1: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

θ2: angle between the horizontal and the first cable

For the y component you have:

$T_1sin\theta_1+T_2sin\theta_2-W=0$ (2)

W: weight of the camera = Mg = (140kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 1372N

You can squared both equations (1) and (2) and the sum the two equations:

$T_1^2cos^2\theta_1=T_2^2cos^2\theta_2\\\\T_1^2sin^2\theta_1=T_2^2sin^2\theta_2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2$

Then, you sum the equations:

$T_1^2(cos^2\theta_1+sin^2\theta_1)=T_2^2(sin^2\theta_2+cos^2\theta_2)-2Wsin\theta_2+W^2$ (3)

Next, you use the following identity:

$sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1$

and you obtain in the equation (3):

$T_1^2=T_2^2-2WT_2sin\theta_2+W^2\\\\sin\theta_2=\frac{T_2^2-T_1^2+W^2}{2WT_2}=\frac{(800N)^2-(1500)^2+(1372N)^2}{2(800N)(1372N)}=0.066\\\\\theta_2=sin^{-1}0.066=27.23\°$

With this values you can calculate the value of the another angle, by using the equation (1):

$\theta_1=cos^{-1}(\frac{T_2cos(27.23\°)}{T_1})=cos^{-1}(\frac{(800N)(cos27.23\°)}{1500N})\\\\\theta_1=61.69\°$

Now, you can calculate the length of each cable by using the information about the width of the football field. You use the following trigonometric relation:

$l_1cos\theta_1=40-d\\\\l_2cos\theta_2=d\\\\$

d: distance to the right side of the field

By using the cosine law you can fins a system of equation and then you can calculate the values of l1 and l2.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation: Since this line has no slope, it must be vertical.

The equation of a vertical line through a given point can

always be written x = the x-coordinate of the given point.

So the answer to this problem is x = 3.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P=$1,000

R=8%

A= $2200

I= A-P

I=2200-1000

I=$1200

Applying the formula

I=PRT/100

1200=1000*8*T/100

cross multiply

1200*100= 8000T

120000= 8000T

divide both sides by 8000

T=120000/8000

T=15 years

Hence the time is 15 years
