Answer : Tension in the line = 936.7 N

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of student, m = 65 kg

The angle between slackline and horizontal, \theta=20^0

The two forces that acts are :

(i) Tension

(ii) Weight

So, from the figure it is clear that :

mg=2T\ sin\ \theta

T=\dfrac{mg}{2\ sin\theta}

T=\dfrac{65\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{2(sin\ 20)}

T=936.7\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

The tension in the line is \boxed{932.18{\text{ N}}}.

Further Explanation:

Free body diagram is the graphical representation or illustration of all the forces applied on the body with their directions. This helps us to <u>visualize all the applied forces on the body with their directions</u> and make us possible to solve complex problems based on kinematics.

Tension is the force exerted by the wire, cable or string like object when someone pulls it.

The force in the downward direction is due to gravity called as weight. Its magnitude depends upon the mass of the body and expressed as mg. the term g is called acceleration due to gravity and it has a constant value of 9.81{\text{ m/}}{{\text{s}}^2}.

Given:

The mass of the student is 65\text{ kg}.

The sag angle with respect to the horizontal is 20^\circ.

Concept:

The student walking in the slack line exerts tension on the slack line ties with two trees. There is tension on the both side of the slack line. The horizontal component of tension both side of the slack line will be canceling each other effects and the vertical component of tension both side of the slack line is balanced by the weight of the student.

It can be expressed as:

2T\sin\theta=mg

Here, T is the tension, \theta is the sag angle, m is the mass of object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute 20^\circ  for T, 65\text{ kg} for m and 9.81{\text{ m/}}{{\text{s}}^2} for g in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}2T\sin 20^\circ&=\left( {65{\text{ kg}}}\right)\left( {9.81{\text{ m/}}{{\text{s}}^2}} \right) \hfill\\T&=\frac{{\left({65{\text{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\text{ m/}}{{\text{s}}^2}}\right)}}{{2\sin 20^\circ}}\hfill\\&=932.18{\text{ N}}\hfill\\ \end{aligned}

Therefore, the tension in the line is \boxed{932.18{\text{ N}}}.

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

So,  3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

Scenario 3Starting at rest, a 3 kg ball is dropped from the side of a bridge and strikes the ground below at 35m/s. What is the
Nonamiya [84]

   The ball's gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.

<h3>How can the height of a dropped ball be determined?</h3>

    Y = 1/2 g t 2, where y is the height above the ground, g = 9.8 m/s2, and t = 1.3 s, is the formula for problems like these. Any freely falling body with an initial velocity of zero meters per second can use this formula. figuring out how much y is.

   A ball drops from the top of a building and picks up speed as it descends. Its speed is increasing by 10 m/s every second. What we refer to as motion with constant acceleration is, for example, a ball falling due to gravity.

    The ball's parabolic motion causes it to move at a speed of 26.3 m/s right before it strikes the ground, which is faster than its straight downhill motion, which has a speed of 17.1 m/s. Take note of the rising positive y direction in the above graphic.
