A 180 lb crate is on the ground, and a strong rope is attached. You need to move it across the basement floor, which has a coeff

icient of friction of 0.7 against the wood of the crate. To avoid actually working you call your friend to complain that you have to push it so hard. Your friend says you should pull it with the rope (your height will cause it to have a 60° angle to horizontal), since it will lower the weight and therefore the friction force. You counter (still avoiding work) that you will also have less force on the crate so it cancels out. What is the right answer? Is it better to pull with the rope or push? Why?

Answer:

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

Explanation:

Let the force is applied at an angle of 60 degree

so we will have net vertical force on the crate is given as

F_n + Fsin60 = mg

here we know

m = 180 lb

m = 81.65 kg

F_n = 81.65(9.81) - Fsin60

F_n = 801 - 0.866 F

now friction force on the crate is given as

F_x = \mu F_n

Fcos60 = 0.7(801 - 0.866 F)

0.5F + 0.61F = 560.7

F = 505.13 N

Yes it is better to pull the rope rather than push it

The sound intensity at a distance of 19 m from a noisy generator is measured to be 0.24 W/m2. What is the sound intensity at a d
34kurt

Answer:

0.1111 W/m²

Explanation:

If all other parameters are constant, sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the sound. That is,

I ∝ (1/r²)

I = k/r²

Since k can be the constant of proportionality. k = Ir²

We can write this relation as

I₁ × r₁² = I₂ × r₂²

I₁ = 0.25 W/m²

r₁ = 16 m

I₂ = ?

r₂ = 24 m

0.25 × 16² = I₂ × 24²

I₂ = (0.25 × 16²)/24²

I₂ = 0.1111 W/m²

As the pulses interfere destructively there is a point in time when the string is perfectly straight. Which of the following sta
uysha [10]

According to the statement we can deduce that the resulting amplitude of the wave pulse is zero when there is a destructive interference of two pulses and the chain is straight. At this point the potential energy will be zero, therefore when applying the energy conservation theorem, the potential energy must be equal to the kinetic energy and be conserved. The potential energy will be totally transferred as kinetic energy and therefore that will be the only energy present in the string.

Thus, the option C is correct.

What is Newton's third law of motion?​
zzz [600]
<h2>Answer : </h2>

Newton's Third law of motion states :

" Every action has an equal and opposite reaction "

i.e If a force is applied by an object A on another object B then that object B also exerts a foce on object A, that is of same magnitude and opposite direction to the force applied by object A.

Ex - A book on a table exerts gravitational force on the table and table exerts back a normal force on the book.
