The builders of the pyramids used a long ramp to lift 20000-kg (20.0-ton) blocks. If a block rose 0.840 m in height while travel

ing 20.0 m along the ramp surface, how much uphill force was needed to push it up the ramp at constant velocity

Given Information:  

Mass = m =  20000 kg

Height of ramp = h = 0.840 m

Length of ramp = L = 20 m

Required Information:  

Uphill Force = F = ?

Answer:

F = 8232 N

Explanation:

The force can be found using the equation

F = mgsinθ

Where m is the mass of block, g is the acceleration due to gravity

Since the ramp can be modeled as an inclined plane so it can formed into a triangle, recall that in right angle triangle sinθ is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. The opposite is the height and hypotenuse is the ramp surface.

sinθ = h/L = 0.840/20 = 0.042

F = 20000*9.8*0.042

F = 8232 N

Therefore, an uphill force of 8232 N would be needed.

The total amount of fresh water on earth is estimated to be 3.73 x 10^8 km^3. What is this volume in cubic meters? in cubic feet
Burka [1]
One km^3 is 1,000,000,000 m^3=10^9 m^3 hence 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73 10^17 m^3

One meter is 3.28084 feet hence 1 m^3 is (3.28084)^3 feet

Thus 3.73 10^8 km^3 is 3.73*35.315 10^17 = 132 cubic feet

Why might exposing astronauts to weightlessness be harmful?
love history [14]
The body doesn't have to work as hard when there's no gravity for it to work against, so it becomes accustomed to a much lower work load on every level. It leads to lower bone mass and weaker muscles, including the heart, leading to a drop in blood pressure that can eventually build up to create problems with cognitive function. After so long, minor accidents can lead to major, even life threatening problems. A simple bump that would do little more than leave a bruise on you and I can result in a broken femur bone or broken neck on an astronaut who has been exposed to a weightless environment for too long.

This is one of the several hurdles that must be overcome in order for a manned mission to Mars to succeed. Exposure to a weightless environment on the order of roughly two years for a manned Mars mission would be so degrading to the body that the rough, turbulent re-entry into Earth's atmosphere might prove to be too violent for an astronaut to survive.

The problem is bones.

On Earth, every time you do something with "impact" (like walking), there are microcracks in your bones. Calcium is used by the body to fix these cracks... and that is how the bones grow and become strong.

No weight = no impact = no cracks = no "repairs" being done by the body = the body gets rid of un-neede calcium and bones become brittle and weak.

There are some other operations in the body that require gravity as a "director", or resistance to movement as a driver of change (think of muscles in the legs, when there is no need to walk).

The organ themelves are (generally) OK since many things can work in any orientation.
