Answer:
The unknown force will be 18.116 lb.
Explanation:
Given that,
Three forces act on a flange as shown in figure.
The net force acting on the flange is a minimum.

We need to calculate the unknown force
Using formula of net force

Put the value into the formula


The magnitude of net force,




On differentiating w.r.to F




Negative sign shows the direction of force which is downward.
Hence, The unknown force will be 18.116 lb.
Answer:
Technician A
Explanation:
If Technician B was correct, and the master cylinder is defective - then no braking action would occur.
This is not true however, as some breaking action eventually occurs, meaning it must be out of adjustment.
The weight of an object is taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. The weight ( W ) is the product of the mass ( m ) of the object and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration ( g ).
On Earth: g = 9.81 m/s²
m = 20 kg
W = m · g = 20 kg · 9.81 m/s² = 196.2 N
Answer:
Decreases to half.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial mass (m₁) = m
Initial force (F₁) = F
Initial acceleration (a₁) =?
Final mass (m₂) = ½m
Final force (F₂) = ¼F
Final acceleration (a₂) =?
Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:
F₁ = m₁a₁
F = ma₁
Divide both side by m
a₁ = F / m
Next, we shall determine a₂.
F₂ = m₂a₂
¼F = ½ma₂
2F = 4ma₂
Divide both side by 4m
a₂ = 2F / 4m
a₂ = F / 2m
Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:
a₁ = F / m
a₂ = F / 2m
a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁
a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m
a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F
a₂ / a₁ = ½
Cross multiply
a₂ = ½a₁
From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration
