Three forces act on a moving object. One force has a magnitude of 83.7 N and is directed due north. Another has a magnitude of 5

9.5 N and is directed due west. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the third force, such that the object continues to move with a constant velocity? Express your answer as a positive angle south of east.

Answer:

  • |\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N
  • \theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''

Explanation:

For an object to move with constant velocity, the acceleration of the object must be zero:

\vec{a} = \vec{0}.

As the net force equals acceleration multiplied by mass , this must mean:

\vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} = m * \vec{0} = \vec{0}.

So, the sum of the three forces must be zero:

\vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 + \vec{F}_3 = \vec{0},

this implies:

\vec{F}_3  = - \vec{F}_1 - \vec{F}_2.

To obtain this sum, its easier to work in Cartesian representation.

First we need to define an Frame of reference. Lets put the x axis unit vector \hat{i} pointing east,  with the y axis unit vector \hat{j} pointing south, so the positive angle is south of east. For this, we got for the first force:

\vec{F}_1 = 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}),

as is pointing north, and for the second force:

\vec{F}_2 = 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i}),

as is pointing west.

Now, our third force will be:

\vec{F}_3  = - 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}) - 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})

\vec{F}_3  =  83.7 \ N \ \hat{j}  + 59.9 \ N \ \hat{i}

\vec{F}_3  =  (59.9 \ N , 83.7 \ N )

But, we need the magnitude and the direction.

To find the magnitude, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}

|\vec{F}_3| = \sqrt{(59.9 \ N)^2 + (83.7 \ N)^2}

|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N

this is the magnitude.

To find the direction, we can use:

\theta = arctan(\frac{F_{3_y}}{F_{3_x}})

\theta = arctan(\frac{83.7 \ N }{ 59.9 \ N })

\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''

and this is the angle south of east.

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th
Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3
