Answer:

mb = 3.75 kg

Explanation:

System of forces in balance

ΣFx =0  

ΣFy = 0

Forces acting on the box

T₁ : Tension in string 1 ,at angle of 50° with the horizontal on the left

T₂  = 40 N : Tension in string 2, at angle of 75° with the horizontal on the right.

Wb :Weightt of the box (vertical downward)

x-y T₁ and T₂ components

T₁x= T₁cos50°

T₁y= T₁sin50°

T₂x= 30*cos75° = 7.76 N

T₂y= 30*sin75° = 28.98 N

Calculation of the Wb

ΣFx = 0  

T₂x-T₁x = 0

T₂x=T₁x

7.76 = T₁cos50°

T₁ = 7.76 /cos50° = 12.07 N

ΣFy = 0  

T₂y+T₁y-Wb = 0

28.98 + 12.07(cos50°) = Wb

Wb = 36.74 N

Calculation of the mb ( mass of the box)

Wb = mb* g

g: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

mb = Wb/g

mb = 36.74 /9.8

mb = 3.75 kg

You find a micrometer (a tool used to
MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.

Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of  precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.

The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg
kumpel [21]

The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass =6.0 kg

t is the time interval=2 second

From Newton's second law;

\rm \triangle P =m \triangle V \\\\ \triangle P= m(\frac{\triangle x}{\triangle t} )\\\\

From the graph;

\rm \triangle t = 2sec\\\\ \triangle x = (12-8) m

The change in the momentum is;

\rm \triangle P = m\tr(\frac{v-u}{t}) \\\\ \triangle P =9.3 \times \frac{12-8}{2} \\\\ \triangle P= +18.6 \  N.s

Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.
