Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 64.7 N, Jill pulls with 61.5 N in the

northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 171 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from the east direction between 0.

Answer:

F = 241.8 N θ = -18.7

Explanation:

To find the net force, we use Newton's second law, for this we decompose the force using trigonomer

Force 2

F2 = 61.5 N

cos 45 = F₂ₓ / F2 F₂ₓ = F2 cos 45

sin 45 = F₂_y / F2 F₂_y = F2 sin 45

force 3

F3 = 171 N

cos 45 = F₃ₓ / F3

sin 45 = F₃_y / F3

the total force can be found with its components

axis x direction (East-West)

Fₓ = 64.7 +61.5 cos 45 + 171 cos 45

Fₓ = 229.1 N

Y axis (direction North -Sur)

F_y = 61.5 sin 45 - 171 sin 45

F_y = - 77,428 N

the resulting force is

F = Fx i ^ + Fy j ^

F = (229.1 i⁻ 77,428 j⁾ N

we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the module

F = √ (229.1 2 + 77,428 2)

F = 241.8 N

let's use trigonometry to find the direction

tan θ = F_y / Fₓ

θ = tan⁻¹ (F_y / Fₓ)

θ = tan⁻¹ (-77,428 / 229.1)

θ = -18.7

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the necessary and effective distances that act as components of the centripetal and gravity Forces. Later using the same relationships we will find the speed of the body. The second part of the problem will use the equations previously found to find the tension.

PART A) We will begin by finding the two net distances.

$r = \frac{8.26}{2} = 4.13m$

And the distance 'd' is

$d = lsin\theta$

$d = 1.14 sin 16.2\°$

$d = 0.318m$

Through the free-body diagram the tension components are given by

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$Tsin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

Here we can watch that,

$R = r+d$

Dividing both expression we have that,

$tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Replacing the values,

$tan(16.2) = \frac{v^2}{(4.13+0.318)(9.8)}$

$v = 4.83371m/s$

PART B) Using the vertical component we can find the tension,

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

$T = \frac{(10+26.2)(9.8)}{cos(16.2)}$

$T = 369.42N$

A 40-kg uniform semicircular sign 1.6 m in diameter is supported by two wires as shown. What

garri49 [273]

Answer:

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a sketch of how will be the semicircle, for this reason we conducted an internet search, to find the scheme of the problem. This scheme is attached in the first image.

Then we make a free body diagram, with this free body diagram, we raise the forces that act on the body. Since it is a problem involving static equilibrium, the sum of forces in any direction and moments must be equal to zero.

By performing a sum of forces on the Y axis equal to zero we can find an equation that relates the forces of tension T1 & T2.

The second equation can be determined by summing moments equal to zero, around the point of application of the T1 force. In this way we find the T2 force.

The value of T2, is replaced in the first equation and we can find the value for T1.

Therefore

T1 = 131.4 [N]

T2 = 261 [N]

The free body diagram and the developed equations can be seen in the second attached image.

The minute hand of a wall clock measures 16 cm from its tip to the axis about which it rotates. The magnitude and angle of the d

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Minute hand length =16 cm

Time at a quarter after the hour to half past i.e. 1 hr 45 min

Angle covered by minute hand in 1 hr is 360 and in 45 minutes 270

$|r|=\frac{3\times 2\pi r}{4}=75.408 cm$

$Angle =270^{\circ}$

(c)For the next half hour

Effectively it has covered 2 revolution and a quarter

$|r|=\frac{2\pi r}{4}=25.136 cm$

angle turned $=90^{\circ}$

(f)Hour after that

After an hour it again comes back to its original position thus displacement is same =25.136

Angle turned will also be same i.e. $90 ^{\circ}$

Describe the two main ways that energy travels through the Sun.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The energy are traveled through the sun in two ways that are:

By the radiation
By the convection

As, the energy are first traveled outward from the core of the sun and then it get entered in the zone of the radiation and this zone is known as radiative zone in the surface of the sun.In the radiation process some amount of the hydrogen particle are combined and then releases the energy. And the convection is the process of conversion of one form of energy to another form.
