The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out. 
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766 
Adjacent/Hypotenuse 
x/120 = cos40 
Answer: 91.92533. 
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.

A box is at rest on a table. What can you say about the forces acting on the box?
Nikitich [7]
You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:

==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.

==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.

==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.

==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.

Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...

(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.

If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.

Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...

(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero

(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 14,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in
tatiyna

Sam and Sally are traveling aboard a spacecraft that approaches the asteroid Ceres within 14,000 kilometers. Sally will experience 1.989 × 10⁻¹¹  N of force.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

Given data

Mass of asteroid ,m₁ = 8.7 1020 kg

Mass of sally,m₂ = 67 kg

Gravitational constant,G = 6.6 × 10⁻¹¹ kg⁻² m²

Distance of seperation,R =  14,000 km

\rm F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^ 2} \\\\ F = 6.6 \times 10^{-11 }\times \frac{8.71020  \times 67 }{(14,000)^2}  \\\\F =  1.989 \times 10^{-11 } \ N

Hence, the force Sally experiences will be 1.989 × 10⁻¹¹  N.

Why isn't direct current used in transformers​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

No, it will not and this has a historical importance. The reason is that transformers work via induction of electrical forces by changes in magnetic fields, so the constat fields produced by dc currents won't work at all
