A man ties one end of a strong rope 8.17 m long to the bumper of his truck, 0.524 m from the ground, and the other end to a vert

ical tree trunk at a height of 2.99 m. He uses the truck to create a tension of 8.57 102 N in the rope. Compute the magnitude of the torque on the tree due to the tension in the rope, with the base of the tree acting as the reference point.

Answer:

2442.5 Nm

Explanation:

Tension, T = 8.57 x 10^2 N

length of rope, l = 8.17 m

y = 0.524 m

h = 2.99 m

According to diagram

Sin θ = (2.99 - 0.524) / 8.17

Sin θ = 0.3018

θ = 17.6°

So, torque about the base of the tree is

Torque = T x Cos θ x 2.99

Torque = 8.57 x 100 x Cos 17.6° x 2.99

Torque = 2442.5 Nm

thus, the torque is 2442.5 Nm.

Work = force x distance

So we are looking for something related to displacement.

The work done must also be done in the same direction, parallel to the displacement, and therefore in the same direction of the motion as well.


So:

In order to do work, the force vector must be in the same direction as the displacement vector and the motion.

A coin slides over a frictionless plane and across an xy coordinate system from the origin to a point with xy coordinates (4.0 m
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Work done, W = 3.78 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Displacement in x-y coordinate, d=(4i+5.8j)\ m

Magnitude of force, F = 1.3 N

The force is directed at a counterclockwise angle of 121° from the positive direction of the x axis. Let W is the work done by the force on the coin during the displacement.

Firstly, finding the vector form of force as :

F=1.3\ cos(121)i+1.3\ sin(121)j

F=-0.669i+1.114j

The work done is given by :

W=F.d

W=(-0.669i+1.114j).(4i+5.8j)

W=-0.669\times 4+1.114\times 5.8

W = 3.78 Joules

So, the work done by the force is 3.78 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which surface has more friction <br>A. an ice rink<br>B. a grassy field <br>C. a paved road​
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is </h2><h2>C. a paved road</h2>

Explanation:

Generally, roads are meant to have very rough surfaces to allow for friction between car tyres hence the motion of vehicles.

What is a paved surface?

Paved roads are roads that are covered with a firm surface suitable for travel, like paving stones or concrete or asphalts.

Another good example of a paved road is a  small paved courtyard, covered with a hard layer of concrete/cement.

The other two examples sited in this problem are glossy materials with very low surface friction, that is their surfaces are very smooth.
