A 18.4-kg box rests on a frictionless ramp with a 16.1° slope. The mover pulls on a rope attached to the box to pull it up the i
ncline. If the rope makes an angle of 43.2° with the horizontal, what is the smallest force F the mover will have to exert to move the box up the ramp?
1 answer:
Answer:
F= 56,1 N :
Explanation:
We apply Newton's first law for balancing forces system.
We take the x axis in the direction of the ramp with a 16.1° slope.
∑Fx= 0
∑Fx: algebraic sum of forces ( + to the right, - to the left)
Problem development:
Look at the free body diagram :
The only forces that act on the box are the weight and tension of the rope because there is no friction.
T: Rope tension (N)
W :Box weight (N)
∑Fx= 0
Tx-Wx=0
Tx =Tcos( 43.2°- 16.1°)= Tcos ( 27.1°)
Wx= W*sen 16.1°= m*g*sen 16.1°=18.4*9.8* sen 16.1° = 50N
Tcos ( 27.1°)-50=0
Tcos ( 27.1°) = 50
T = (50) / (cos ( 27.1°))
T = 56,1 N
T=F= 56,1 N

The wavelength of a sound wave is related to its frequency by the relationship:
where
f is the frequency
v is the speed of the wave
is the wavelength
The wave in our problem has wavelength of
and speed of 
(this is the speed of sound in air), therefore its frequency is
And the period of the wave is equal to the reciprocal of its frequency:
