<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 73 N

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using the formula

2 T cos(30°) = w

Where; T is the tension on each string, while w is the weight of the box given by mg

Therefore;

W = 2Tcos 30°

    = 2 × 42 cos 30°

    = 84 cos 30°

    = 72.74

<u>   ≈ 73 N</u>

Vector vector a has a magnitude of 29 units and points in the positive y-direction. when vector vector b is added to vector a ,
Nutka1998 [239]
Good morning.

We have:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a} = 29\overset{\to}{j}}

Where j is the unitary vector in the direction of the y-axis.

We have that 

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}+\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j}}

We add the vector -a to both sides:

\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -\overset{\to}{a} = -18\overset{\to}{j} -29\overset{\to}{j}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}=-47\overset{\to}{j}}


Therefore, the magnitude of b is 47 units.

Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
