Answer:

w = 73 N

Explanation:

Since the box is held by the ropes it means that the resulting tension is equal to the weight of the box

T_res = w

Now, the resulting tension is a combination of the tension of each rope.

Since we want to find the vertical component we must multiply by the cosine of 30 degrees the value of T

T_res =  T*cos(30) + T*cos(30)

T_res = 2*(42 N)*(0.866)

T_res = 72.746 N

T_res = w = 72.746 N

¿Qué es una onda electromagnética?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Son aquellas ondas que no necesitan un medio material para propagarse. Incluyen, entre otras, la luz visible y las ondas de radio, televisión y telefonía. Todas se propagan en el vacío a una velocidad constante, muy alta (300 0000 km/s) pero no infinita.

What is the electric force on a proton 2.5 fm from the surface of the nucleus? hint: treat the spherical nucleus as a point char
Whitepunk [10]
In this case, you need the formula below where:

F = force
k = coulombs constant 8.99 x10^{9} N.m^{2} . C^{-2}
q1 = electric charge 1
q2 = electric charge 2
r = the distance between the charges

F = k((q1.q2)/r^{2})

pls note: make sure your units are correct (in meters etc, not fm (<em>femto-meters</em>)).

Curiously, this question doesn't tell you what atom you are next to the nucleus of. Different numbers of protons in the nucleus of the atom will make for vastly different forces in your answer...
