gravitational Potential energy is given by

$GPE = mgh$

here we have

m = 200 kg

h = 21000 m

now we will have

$GPE = 200(9.8)(21000)$

$GPE = 4.116 \times 10^7 J$

so GPE of balloon will be 41160000 J above the given height from ground

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

guapka [62]

Personally I feel that never trying is worse because at least when you fail you know what you need to improve on and that way you at least get some closure. Where as when you never try it you would never know whether or not you were able to do it

The vertical force f acts downward at A on the two membered frames. Determine the magnitude of the two components of F directed

galben [10]

Answer:

The magnitude will be "353.5 N". A further solution is given below.

Explanation:

The given values is:

F = 500 N

According to the question,

In ΔABC,

⇒ $\angle BCA = (90-30)$

⇒ $=60^{\circ}$

then,

⇒ $\angle BAC=(180-45-60)$

⇒ $=75^{\circ}$

Now,

The corresponding angle will be:

⇒ $\angle FAC=60^{\circ}$

⇒ $\angle FAB=70+60$

⇒ $=135^{\circ}$

Aspect of F across the AC arm will be:

= $F\times cos(60)$

On putting the values of F, we get

= $500\times (.5)$

= $200 \ Newton$

Component F along the AC (in magnitude) will be:

= $F\times cos(135)$

= $500\times (-.707)$

= $-353.5 \ N \$
