A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires. Two of the wires make angles of theta1=60.0 degrees and th

The sketch of the system is: two strings, 1 and 2, are attached to the ceiling and to a third string, 3.The third string holds the bag of cement. 

The free body diagram of the weight with the string 3, drives to the tension T3 = weihgt => T3 = 325 N

The other free body diagram is around the joint of the three strings.

In this case, you can do the horizontal forces equilibrium equation as:

T1* cos(60) - T2*cos(40) = 0

And the vertical forces equilibrium equation:

Ti sin(60) + T2 sin(40) = T3 = 325 N

Then you have two equations with two unknown variables, T1 and T2

0.5 T1 - 0.766 T2 = 0

 0.866 T1 + 0.643T2 = 325

When you solve it you get, T1 = 252.8 N and T2 = 165 N

Answer: T1 = 252.8 N, T2 = 165N, and T3 = 325N

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

v=115 m/s

or

v=414 km/h

Explanation:

Given data

A_{area}=0.140m^{2}\\  p_{air}=1.21 kg/m^{3}\\  m_{mass}=80kg

To find

Terminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour)

Solution

At terminal speed the weight equal the drag force

mg=1/2*C*p_{air}*v^{2}*A_{area}\\   v=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*g}{C**p_{air}*A_{area}} }\\ Where C=0.7\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2*9.8*80}{1.21*0.14*0.7} }\\ v=115m/s

For speed in km/h(kilometers per hour)

To convert m/s to km/h you need to multiply the speed value by 3.6

v=(115*3.6)km/h\\v=414km/h
