Answer:

The magnitude of applied force,parallel to the incline is 575.38 N and parallel to the floor is 605 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the piano (m) = 190 kg

Inclined angle (\theta) = 18 degree

Considering gravity, g = 9.8 ms^-^2

And

Using, sin(18) =0.30 and cos(18)=0.95

<em>FBD diagram is attached with all the force acting on the floor and and the inclined. </em>

We have to find the magnitude of forces,when the man pushes it parallel to the incline and to the floor.

a.

When the man pushes it parallel to the incline.

Balancing the forces as  \sum F=0 .

⇒ F+mgsin(\theta) =0

⇒ F=-mgsin(\theta)

⇒ Here it is negative as the force is acting downward.

⇒ Plugging the values of mass (m) and angle (\theta) .

⇒ F=190\times 9.8\times sin(18)

⇒ F=575.38 N

b.

When the force is parallel to the floor.

⇒ Fcos(\theta)=mgsin(\theta)

⇒ F=\frac{mgsin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ F=\frac{190\times 9.8\times sin(18)}{cos(18)}

⇒ F=605 N

So,

The magnitude of applied force in inclined direction is 575.38 Newton and parallel to the floor is 605 N.

A box is being pushed from the left with a force of 5 N. No force is being applied from the right.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The box will move to the right with increasing speed

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

F=ma (1)

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

For the box in this problem, there is only one force acting on it: a force of 5 N from the left (so, to the right). This means that according to (1) the box will experience an acceleration: the direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force (so, to the right), therefore the box will move to the right and its speed will continue increasing due to fact that it is being accelerated.

The distance between the lenses in a compound microscope is 18 cm. The focal length of the objective is 1.5 cm. If the microscop
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The focal length of eye piece is 6.52 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular Magnification of the microscope M = -46

the distance between the lens in microscope L= 16 cm

The focal length of objective f₀ = 1.5 cm

Normal near point N = 25 cm

Have to find focal length of eye piece f ₙ =?

The angular magnification is given by

M ≈ - (L-fₙ)N/f₀fₙ

Rearranging for fₙ

fₙ =L(1 - Mf₀/N)⁺¹

   =18/2.76

fₙ =  6.52 cm

The focal length of eye piece is 6.52 cm.
