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

Answers:

B.) F cos\theta=F_{n}

C.) F sin\theta=F_{g} \pm F_{f}

Explanation:

The image attached shows the way the force F 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:

-F_{n}+F cos\theta=0 (1)

Where:

F_{n} is the Normal force

F is the magnitude of the force exerted on the block

\theta is the angle

Net Force in Y:

F sin\theta \pm F_{f}-F_{g}=0 (2)

Where:

F_{f} is the Friction force (it is expresed with the \pm sign because this force may be up or down, we cannot know because the block is at rest)

F_{g} is the gravity force

Rewrittin (1):

F cos\theta=F_{n} (3) This is according to option B

Rewritting (2):

F sin\theta=F_{g}\pm F_{f} (3) This is according to option C

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 30 kg from a tungsten rod 2.8 m long by 1.5 mm by 2.6 mm. You measure the stretch of the ro
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Young's modulus (Y) = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

The speed of sound in tungsten = 6166.4 m/s

Explanation:

Young's modulus (Y) = stress/strain

Stress = force/area

Force = mg = 30×9.8 = 294 N

Area = 1.5 × 2.6 = 3.9 mm^2 = 3.9/10^6 = 3.9×10^-6 m^2

Stress = 294/3.9×10^-6 = 7.54×10^7 N/m^2

Strain = extension/length

Extension = 0.000594 m

Length = 2.8 m

Strain = 0.000594/2.8 = 2.12×10^-4

Y = 7.54×10^7/2.12×10^-4 = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

Y = h × rho × g

rho = 18.7 g/cm^3 = 18.7 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × (100 cm/1 m)^3 = 18,700 kg/m^3

h = 3.56×10^11/(18,700×9.8) = 1.94×10^6 m

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh =

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

v = sqrt (2×9.8×1.94×10^6)

v = 6166.4 m/s

A chevrolet corvette convertible can brake to a stop from a speed of 60.0 mi/h in a distance of 123 ft on a level roadway. what
pychu [463]
By definition we have that the final speed is:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 Where,
 Vo: Final speed
 a: acceleration
 d: distance.
 We cleared this expression the acceleration:
 a = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * d)
 Substituting the values:
 a = ((0) ^ 2- (60) ^ 2) / ((2) * (123) * (1/5280))
 a = -77268 mi / h ^ 2
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is:
 First you must make a free body diagram and see the acceleration of the car:
 g = 32.2 feet / sec ^ 2
 a = -77268 (mi / h ^ 2) * (5280/1) (feet / mi) * (1/3600) ^ 2 (h / s) ^ 2
 a = -31.48 feet / sec ^ 2
 A = a + g * sin (θ) = -31.48 + 32.2 * sin17.0
 A = -22.07 feet / sec ^ 2
 Clearing the braking distance:
 Vf² = Vo² + 2 * a * d
 d = (Vf²-Vo²) / (2 * a)
 Substituting the values:
 d = ((0) ^ 2- (60 * (5280/3600)) ^ 2) / (2 * (- 22.07))
 d = 175.44 feet
 answer:
 its stopping distance on a roadway sloping downward at an angle of 17.0 ° is 175.44 feet
