If the torque required to loosen a nut that holds a wheel on a car has a magnitude of 55 n·m, what force must be exerted at the

end of a 0.47 m lug wrench to loosen the nut when the angle is 48°?

Either 175 N or 157 N depending upon how the value of 48° was measured from.    
You didn't mention if the angle of 48° is from the lug wrench itself, or if it's from the normal to the lug wrench. So I'll solve for both cases and you'll need to select the desired answer.    
Since we need a torque of 55 N·m to loosen the nut and our lug wrench is 0.47 m long, that means that we need 55 N·m / 0.47 m = 117 N of usefully applied force in order to loosen the nut. This figure will be used for both possible angles.    
Ideally, the force will have a 0° degree difference from the normal and 100% of the force will be usefully applied. Any value greater than 0° will have the exerted force reduced by the cosine of the angle from the normal. Hence the term "cosine loss".     
If the angle of 48° is from the normal to the lug wrench, the usefully applied power will be:  
U = F*cos(48)  
where  
U = Useful force  
F = Force applied    
So solving for F and calculating gives:  
U = F*cos(48)  
U/cos(48) = F  
117 N/0.669130606 = F  
174.8537563 N = F    
So 175 Newtons of force is required in this situation.    
If the 48° is from the lug wrench itself, that means that the force is 90° - 48° = 42° from the normal. So doing the calculation again (this time from where we started plugging in values) we get  
U/cos(42) = F  
117/0.743144825 = F  
157.4390294 = F    
Or 157 Newtons is required for this case.

Answer:

John Dalton

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory was the foundation for a new understanding of chemical structures. He proposed that matter was constituted by indivisible and indestructible particles "atoms." He theorized that all atoms of a particular substance were equal, and the atoms of different substances had atoms of different sizes and masses.

He also proposed that all compounds of elements were combinations of elements but in a very precise ratio.

german

Answer:

 F = 1.047 10⁻² N

Explanation:

Let's use kinematics to find the angular acceleration

             w = w₀ + α t

as for rest w₀ = 0

             w = α t

             α = w / t

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              w = 1000 rev / min (2π rad/ 1 rev) (1 min/ 60s) = 104.72 rad / s

              m = 1.00 g (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1,000 10⁻³ kg

              r = 10.0 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.100 m

let's calculate

              α = 104.72 / 1

              α = 104.72 rad / s²

angular and linear variables are related

               a = α  r

               a = 104.72 0.100

               a = 10.47 m / s²

finally we substitute in Newton's second law

               F = 1 10⁻³ 10.47

               F = 1.047 10⁻² N

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

one end of tank will be circular in shape . Area of circle A

= π r² , r is radius of the circle

= 3.14 x 3²

A = 28.26 ft³

To calculate force  on the circular area , we first find pressure at the center of the circle which is at depth equal to r

pressure at the center = h d g ' here h = depth = r   , d = density of milk

pressure = 3 x 64.6 x 32 poundal / ft²

= 6201.6 poundal / ft²

total force on circular face = pressure at the center x area of circle

= 6201.6 x 28.26

= 175257.21 poundal .
