Since the boy is pulling a load (150N) with a string inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal, the total force will have two components (horizontal and vertical component), but we need to consider the given information about the tension of the string which is equal to 105N.

We can calculate the vertical force using the following formula:

$VerticalForce=Force*Sin(30\° )=(BoysForce-StringForce)*\frac{1}{2}\\\\VerticalForce=(150N-105N)*\frac{1}{2}=VerticalForce=45N*\frac{1}{2}=22.5N$

Hence, we can see that the force tending to lift the load off the ground (vertical force) is equal to 22.5N.

Have a nice day!

A diffraction grating has 500 slits/mm. What is the longest wavelength of light for which there will be a third-order maximum?

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 666.7 nm

Explanation:

The general form of the grating equation is

mλ = d(sinθi + sinθr)

where;

m is third-order maximum = 3

λ is the wavelength,

d is the slit spacing (m/slit)

θi is the incident angle

θr is the diffracted angle

Note: at longest wavelength, sinθi + sinθr = 1

λ = d/m

d = 1/500 slits/mm

λ = 1 mm/(500 *3) = 1mm/1500 = 666.7 X 10⁻⁶ mm = 666.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of light is 666.7 nm
