Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .
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
Ideally the resistance should be ZERO
