Beth, a construction worker, attempts to pull a stake out of the ground by pulling on a rope that is attached to the stake. The

rope makes an angle of 44.2°with the horizontal. If Beth exerts a force of 153.8 N on the rope, what is the magnitude of the upward component of the force acting on the stake? Answer in units of N.

Answer:

Fy=107.2 N

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

For a right triangle :

sinβ = y/h formula (1)

cosβ = x/h formula (2)

x: side adjacent to the β angle

y:  opposite side of the β angle

h: hypotenuse

Known data

h = T = 153.8 N : rope tension

β= 44.2°with the horizontal (x)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) to calculate Ty : vertical component of the rope force.

sin44.2° = Ty/153.8 N

Ty = (153.8 N ) *(sen44.2°)= 107.2 N  directed down

for equilibrium system

Fy= Ty=107.2 N

Fy=107.2 N upward component of the force acting on the stake

Margaret [11]
The EMF of the battery includes the force to to drive across its internal resistance. the total resistance:  
R = internal resistance r + resistance connected rv 
R = r + rv  
Now find the current:  
V 1= IR 
I = R / V1  
find the voltage at the battery terminal (which is net of internal resistance) using  
V 2= IR  
So the voltage at the terminal is:  
V = V2 - V1  
This is the potential difference vmeter measured by the voltmeter.

What type of plate boundary interactions takes place when tectonic plates move apart?
grigory [225]
Tectonic plates interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. <span />

vazorg [7]

I'm trying to think of something that will give you the biggest bang for your buck, meaning what would give you the most number of energy transformations in their use.

Wind energy uses those great big windmills that transform wind into electrical energy. The wind is caused by the sun (which has nuclear energy, light energy and the earth's rotation which is not related to the sun but is mechanical energy). To start with you use mechanical energy. That energy drives a generator that stores it's energy in a battery. You have changed electrical energy into chemical energy. The batteries, on a calm day take over and provide electrical energy that must be transported to the consumers using it. Proponents of wind energy say that it is pollution free. It's not exactly true. The batteries used have to be manufactured (not a clean industry) and when they wear out, they pollute the environment if they cannot be recharged with new battery plates and acid (chemical).

Added to which wind energy is very noisy (sound energy) which has been linked to serious diseases.
