A packing crate rests on a horizontal surface. It is acted on by three horizontal forces: 600 N to the left, 200 N to the right,

and friction. The weight of the crate is 400 N. If the 600-N force is removed, the resultant force acting on the block is?
zero.

Answer:

The resultant force would (still) be zero.

Explanation:

Before the 600-N force is removed, the crate is not moving (relative to the surface.) Its velocity would be zero. Since its velocity isn't changing, its acceleration would also be zero.

In effect, the 600-N force to the left and 200-N force to the right combines and acts like a 400-N force to the left.

By Newton's Second Law, the resultant force on the crate would be zero. As a result, friction (the only other horizontal force on the crate) should balance that 400-N force. In this case, the friction should act in the opposite direction with a size of 400 N.

When the 600-N force is removed, there would only be two horizontal forces on the crate: the 200-N force to the right, and friction. The maximum friction possible must be at least 200 N such that the resultant force would still be zero. In this case, the static friction coefficient isn't known. As a result, it won't be possible to find the exact value of the maximum friction on the crate.

However, recall that before the 600-N force is removed, the friction on the crate is 400 N. The normal force on the crate (which is in the vertical direction) did not change. As a result, one can hence be assured that the maximum friction would be at least 400 N. That's sufficient for balancing the 200-N force to the right. Hence, the resultant force on the crate would still be zero, and the crate won't move.

inn [45]

Answer:

The appropriate response will be "Length must be increased by 0.012%".

Explanation:

The given values is:

ΔT = 5 s/day

Now,

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T} =\frac{5}{24\times 60\times 60}

On multiplying both sides by  "100", we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100 =\frac{500}{24\times 60\times 60}

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100=0.005787 (%)

∵  T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}% = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{\Delta l}{l}%

On applying cross multiplication, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta l}{l}% = 2\times \frac{\Delta T}{T}%

⇒        = 2\times 0.05787

⇒        = 0.011574

⇒        = 0.012%

Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energy U(r) of the object-earth system as a function of the object's distan
Drupady [299]

Answer:

U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Emr^2}{2R^3_E}

Explanation:

We are given that

Gravitational force=F_g=\frac{Gm_Emr}{R^3_E}

r=0,U(0)=0

We know that

Gravitational potential energy=-\int F_gdr

U(r)=-\int\frac{Gm_Emr}{R^3_E}dr

U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Em}{R^3_E}\times \frac{r^2}{2}+C

Substitute r=0 ,U(0)=0

0=0+C

C=0

Substitute the value

U(r)=-\frac{Gm_Emr^2}{2R^3_E}
