Answer:

Length of the ramp, l = 31.22 feet

Explanation:

It is given that,

A doorway is 2.45 ft above the ground, AB = 2.45 ft

Angle between the ground and the ramp is, $\theta=4.5^{\circ}$

Applying trigonometry,

$sin\theta=\dfrac{AB}{AC}$

$AC=\dfrac{AB}{sin\theta}$

$AC=\dfrac{2.45}{sin(4.5)}$

AC = 31.22 ft

So, the length of the ramp is 31.22 feet. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure

Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

where $R_1,R_2$ are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

the net vertical force acting on the beam is

$R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0$

where $m=1300\,\rm kg$ and $g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

Eliminating $R_2$ , we have

$\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)$

$R_1 \bigg(\sin(60^\circ) \cos(110^\circ) - \cos(60^\circ) \sin(110^\circ)\bigg) = -\dfrac{mg}2$

$R_1 \sin(60^\circ - 110^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2$

$-R_1 \sin(50^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2$

$R_1 = \dfrac{mg}{2\sin(50^\circ)} \approx \boxed{8300\,\rm N}$

Solve for $R_2$ .

$\dfrac{mg\cos(110^\circ)}{2\sin(50^\circ)} + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0$

$\dfrac{R_2}2 = -mg\cot(110^\circ)$

$R_2 = -2mg\cot(110^\circ) \approx \boxed{9300\,\rm N}$

If A.B=A.C<br>does this imply that B must be equal to c ? <br>I need answer with example please

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

$Consider\ three\ variables\ a,b\ and\ c.\\If,\\ab=ac\\a*b=a*c\\We\ may\ now\ divide\ the\ LHS\ and\ RHS\ by\ a,\\Hence,\\\frac{a*b}{a} =\frac{a*c}{a}\\Hence,\\b=c$

$Ex: \\Consider\ a=5, b=6.\\Hence\ if,\\a*b=a*c\\5*6=5*c\\Hence,\\30=5c\\Hence, c=\frac{30}{5}\\c=6\\As\ b\ also\ equals\ to\ 6,\\b=c$

Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. Glycerin, a liquid used in some soaps, has a density of 1.26 g/cm3. If an object sinks in wate

nasty-shy [4]

3. An object will float if its density is less than the matter it is submerged in.

If it sinks in water, its density is more than 1. If it floats in glycerin, its density is less than 1.26.
