A block is held at rest against a wall by a force of magnitude F exerted at an angle theta from the horizontal, as shown in the
figure above. Let Fg be the gravitational force exerted by Earth on the block, Fn be the normal force exerted by the wall on the block, an Ff be the frictional force exerted by the wall on the brick. Which of the following statements about the magnitude of the forces on the block must be true? Select two answers. A.) F = Fg / Sin(theta)
B.) Fcos(theta) = Fn
C.) Fsin(theta) = Fg + or - Ff
D.) F = Fg + Fn + or - Ff
The image attached shows the way the force is acting on the block. Now, if we draw a free body diagram of the situation and write the equations for the Net Force in X and Y, we will have the following:
Net Force in X:
(1)
Where:
is the Normal force
is the magnitude of the force exerted on the block
is the angle
Net Force in Y:
(2)
Where:
is the Friction force (it is expresed with the sign because this force may be up or down, we cannot know because the block is at rest)
Elaine can use a resistor in her circuit to reduce the rate of flow of charge(current), as a resistor resists the flow of charges, so it's amount would be reduced.
In short, Your Answer would be Option C) "A Resistor"
