Answer:

8.929kg

Explanation:

The work done to place the box at tree house=350 J.

The distance from ground to tree house =4.0 m and $g=9.8m/s^2$

$E=mgh\\\\m=350J/(9.8m/s^2\times 4.0m)\\\\m=8.929kg$

Hence the mass of the box is 8.929kg

This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The mag

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 135.7 N$

Part b)

$F = 62.5 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

$Fcos\theta = mg + F_f$

$Fsin\theta = F_n$

so we have

$Fcos\theta = mg + \mu(Fsin\theta)$

$F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = mg$

$F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}$

$F = \frac{55}{cos50 - 0.310(sin50)}$

$F = 135.7 N$

Part b)

If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

$Fcos\theta = mg - F_f$

$Fsin\theta = F_n$

so we have

$Fcos\theta = mg - \mu(Fsin\theta)$

$F(cos\theta + \mu sin\theta) = mg$

$F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}$

$F = \frac{55}{cos50 + 0.310(sin50)}$

$F = 62.5 N$

At a point 1.2 m out from the hinge, 14.0 N force is exerted at an angle of 27 degrees to the moment arm in a plane which is per

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$\tau = 7.63 Nm$

Explanation:

As we know that moment of force is given as

$\tau = \vec r \times \vec F$

now we have

$\vec r = 1.2 m$

$\vec F = 14 N$

now from above formula we have

$\tau = r F sin\theta$

here we know that

$\theta = 27 degree$

so we have

$\tau = (1.2)(14) sin27$

$\tau = 7.63 Nm$

Find the lengths of each of the following vectors

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

Note that, since there is no component j implies that j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Same as above no is j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit
