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

Vector A with arrow, which is directed along an x axis, is to be added to vector B with arrow, which has a magnitude of 5.5 m. T
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

Explanation:

Vector A , which is directed along an x axis, that is

                   \vec{A}=x_A\hat{i}

Vector B , which has a magnitude of 5.5 m

                   \vec{B}=x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}

                   \sqrt{x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}}=5.5\\\\x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25

The sum is a third vector that is directed along the y axis, with a magnitude that is 6.0 times that of vector A                    \vec{A}+\vec{B}=6x_A\hat{j}\\\\x_A\hat{i}+x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}=6x_A\hat{j}

Comparing we will get

                  x_A=-x_B\\\\y_B=6x_A

Substituting in x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25

                  \left (-x_{A} \right )^{2}+\left (6x_{A} \right )^{2}=30.25\\\\37x_{A}^2=30.25\\\\x_{A}=0.904

So we have

    \vec{A}=0.904\hat{i}

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)
Inessa05 [86]
The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

How can a model be created to predict how forces affect objects at a distance?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Gravitational force increases as the masses of the objects increase and decreases as the distance between the objects increases. Balanced forces acting on an object cause no change in the motion of the object. When unbalanced forces act on an object, the sum of the forces is not equal to zero.
