A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 514 N. As the drawing sh

ows, she is closer to the left cliff than to the right cliff, with the result that the tensions in the left and right sides of the rope are not the same. Find the tensions in the rope (a) to the left and (b) to the right of the mountain climber.The rope coming from the left is 65* below the edge of the cliff. The rope from the right is 80* below the edge of the cliff.

Answer:

Part a)

T_L = 155.4 N

Part b)

T_R = 379 N

Explanation:

As we know that mountain climber is at rest so net force on it must be zero

So we will have force balance in X direction

T_L cos65 = T_R cos80

T_L = 0.41 T_R

now we will have force balance in Y direction

mg = T_L sin65 + T_Rsin80

514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985T_R

Part a)

so from above equations we have

514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985(\frac{T_L}{0.41})

514 = 3.3 T_L

T_L = 155.4 N

Part b)

Now for tension in right string we will have

T_R = \frac{T_L}{0.41}

T_R = 379 N

Inga [223]
The answer is B.

A cannot be the answer is melting is a physical change. No chemical reaction took place.

B is the answer as it is a EXOTHERMIC REACTION so heat will be given off.

C cannot be the answer as dissolving is basically atoms becoming ions, not a chemical reaction whereby a reactant reacts with another reactant to form a product.

D cannot be the answer. Same reason as for why A is not the answer.

Cheers.

What does Newton's third law describe?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.
