You just said that the object is "floating".  

(As soon as you said that, a picture of a duck flashed through my mind.  But then I knew right away that the duck could not be an accurate representation of the situation you're describing.  340 N would be <u><em>some duck</em></u> ... about 76 pounds ... and that duck would have been caught and eaten a long time ago. I mean ... what could a 76-pound duck do ?  Could it fly away ?  Could it run away ? ?  Not likely.)

So it's not a duck, but whatever it is, it's just sitting there on the water, floating.  What's important is that it's <u><em>not accelerating</em></u> up or down.  THAT tells us that the vertical forces on it are balanced so that there's NO NET vertical force on it at all.

What are the vertical forces on it ?  There's gravity, pulling it DOWN with a force of 340 N, and there's buoyancy, pushing it UP.  The SUM of those two forces must be <em>zero</em> ... otherwise the object would be accelerating up or down.

It's not.  So (gravity) + (buoyancy) must add up to zero.

The buoyant force on the object is <em>340 N UPward.</em>

Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ramp is tilted upwards at 25 degrees and Paul is pulling a large crate up the ramp with a rope that angles 10° above the ramp.

Total angle with respect to ramp is 35 degrees.

If Paul pulls with a force of 550 N.

The horizontal component of the force is given by :

F_x=F\ cos\theta

F_x=550\ cos(35)

F_x=450.53\ N

The vertical component of the force is given by :

F_y=F\ sin\theta

F_y=550\ sin(35)

F_y=315.46\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

What does addition of two vectors give you?
mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

To add or subtract two vectors, add or subtract the corresponding components. Let →u=⟨u1,u2⟩ and →v=⟨v1,v2⟩ be two vectors. The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant. The resultant of two vectors can be found using either the parallelogram method or the triangle method .
