Answer:

a) Force required to keep both the masses in rest will be - 77 N  

b) The coefficient of friction will be 0.55

Explanation:

a) As the weight of 77 N is suspended vertically so, there must act 77 N force on the 140 N weight to keep both masses in rest. Hence, the answer is -77 N.

b) We know that:

                            140µ = 77

                                  µ = 77/140

                                  µ = 0.55

Hence, the minimum co-efficient of friction required to keep both bodies in rest will be 0.55.

-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)

x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}

When x = 40, s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}

x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14  m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are tossing a ball directly up into the air. Before the ball leaves your hand, you are exerting a force directed against the
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

F n = 0.2 N

Explanation:

given,                                      

you are exerting force of 10 N on the ball.

mass of the ball = 1 kg              

acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

normal force on the ball = ?          

normal force is force exerted by the object to counteract the force from other object.                

normal force acting on the ball will be

F n = F - mg                          

F n = 10 - 1 × 9.8                        

F n = 10 -9.8                    

F n = 0.2 N            

Hence, normal force acting on the ball is equal to 0.2 N

goblinko [34]

Answer;

-Sensors

-Sensors are placed on dangerous machinery to detect motion, light, heat, pressure, or another stimulus. Their presence helps protect operators from injury while working on machines.

Explanation;

-Machinery, safety and factory floor sensors and switches help workers become more productive, efficient, and safe.

-Hazardous machines and systems are frequently equipped with safety elements (safety doors) with a locking mechanism to protect the operator. Their function is to prevent hazardous machine functions if the safety door is not closed and locked and to keep the safety door closed and locked until the risk of injury has passed.
