P-weight blocks D and E are connected by the rope which passes through pulley B and are supported by the isorectangular prism ar

ticulated to the ground at its vertex A, while vertex C is attached to the vertical cord fixed to the ground. If the coefficient of friction between the prism and the blocks is 0.4; determine the maximum angle that measures the inclination of the AC face with respect to the horizontal so that the system remains in equilibrium.

Answer:

21.8°

Explanation:

Let's call θ the angle between BC and the horizontal.

Draw a free body diagram for each block.

There are 4 forces acting on block D:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₁ pushing perpendicular to AB,

Friction force N₁μ pushing parallel up AB,

and tension force T pushing parallel up AB.

There are 4 forces acting on block E:

Weight force P pulling down,

Normal force N₂ pushing perpendicular to BC,

Friction force N₂μ pushing parallel to BC,

and tension force T pulling parallel to BC.

Sum of forces on D in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₁ − P sin θ = 0

N₁ = P sin θ

Sum of forces on D in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T + N₁μ − P cos θ = 0

T = P cos θ − N₁μ

T = P cos θ − P sin θ μ

T = P (cos θ − sin θ μ)

Sum of forces on E in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

N₂ − P cos θ = 0

N₂ = P cos θ

Sum of forces on E in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

N₂μ + P sin θ − T = 0

T = N₂μ + P sin θ

T = P cos θ μ + P sin θ

T = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

Set equal:

P (cos θ − sin θ μ) = P (cos θ μ + sin θ)

cos θ − sin θ μ = cos θ μ + sin θ

1 − tan θ μ = μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ μ + tan θ

1 − μ = tan θ (μ + 1)

tan θ = (1 − μ) / (1 + μ)

Plug in values:

tan θ = (1 − 0.4) / (1 + 0.4)

θ = 23.2°

∠BCA = 45°, so the angle of AC relative to the horizontal is 45° − 23.2° = 21.8°.

The actual depth of a shallow pool 1.00 m deep is not the same as the apparent depth seen when you look straight down at the poo
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

d' = 75.1 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The actual depth of a shallow pool is, d = 1 m

We need to find the apparent depth of the water in the pool. Let it is equal to d'.

We know that the refractive index is also defined as the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth. Let the refractive index of water is 1.33. So,

n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{1\ m}{1.33}\\\\d'=0.751\ m

or

d' = 75.1 cm

So, the apparent depth is 75.1 cm.
