The 102N acting on the ropes being pulled by eric and kim have some of that force acting horizontally, and some of it vertically. By visualizing it as a right angled triangle, with the hypotenuse the length of the diagonal force, and each side the length of the horizontal and vertical forces, you can use trigonometry to calculate the length of the vertical force. You are told that it is at an angle of 30 with the vertical rope, therefore you know the length of the hypotenuse, and the angle between it and the vertical force, so using trig: (vertical force=x)
x/102=cos(30)
x=102*cos(30)
x=88.33
Therefore the diagonal ropes give a vertical force of 88.33N, and the centre rope, as it acts vertically, gives a vertical force of all 102N. The total:
88.33*2+102=278.66N

I don't know if this is very clear, I hope its good enough to help. If you don't understand, just ask, and I can answer any questions!!! :)

What are the contrast of adaptation vs natural selection?

xxTIMURxx [149]

The difference between adaptation and natural selection is that adaptation is the characteristic while natural selection is the mechanism that increases the probability that an advantageous characteristic is passed on and becomes commonplace.

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

Explanation:

Friction Force

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

$Fr=\mu N$ [1]

Where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for $\mu$ :

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}$

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}$

$\mu=0.41$

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

Answer:

$x_2=1.60m$

Explanation:

From the Question We are told that

Initial Force $F_1=5800N$

Final Force $F_2=6500N$

Distance between the front and rear wheels \triangle x=3.20 m

Since

$\triangle x=3.20 m$

Therefore

$x_1+x_2=3.20$

$x_1=3.20-x_2$

Generally the equation for The center of mass is at x_2 is mathematically

given by

$x_2 =\frac{(F_1x_1+F_2x_2)}{(F_1+F_2)}$

$x_2=3.20F_1-\frac{x_2F_1+F_2x_2}{(F_1+F_2)}$

$2*F_1*x_2 =3.20F_1$

$x_2=1.60m$
