C. It transfer energy as heat to the surrounding air. This answer is incorrectly
B. <span>10,824 feet
is the right answer
tan 26 = 6000/x
x = 10824 ft</span>
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concewptos related to Torque, kinetic movement and Newton's second Law.
By definition Newton's second law is described as
F= ma
Where,
m= mass
a = Acceleration
Part A) According to the information (and as can be seen in the attached graph) a sum of forces is carried out in mass B, it is obtained that,


In the case of mass A,


Making summation of Torques in the Pulley we have to



Replacing the values previously found,





Replacing with our values


PART B) Ignoring the moment of inertia the acceleration would be given by



Therefore the error would be,
