The mechanical advantage of the pulley is 3.56

Explanation:

The Mechanical Advantage (MA) of a pulley system is given by

$MA=\frac{Load}{Effort}$

where

Load is the weight of the object lifted

Effort is the force applied in input

For the pulley in this problem, we have:

Effort = 55 N

While the load is the weight of the box of mass m = 20.0 kg:

$Load = mg = (20.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=196 N$

Substittuing, we find the MA of the pulley:

$MA=\frac{196}{55}=3.56$

A mule is harnessed to a sled having a mass of 246 kg, including supplies. The mule must exert a force exceeding 1210 N at an an

zimovet [89]

(a) 1800 N

The equation of the forces along the vertical direction is:

$F sin \theta + N - mg = 0$

where

$F sin \theta$ is the component of the applied force along the vertical direction

N is the normal force on the sled

mg is the weight of the sled

Substituting:

F = 1210 N

m = 246 kg

$\theta = 30.3^{\circ}$

We find N:

$N=mg-F sin \theta = (246)(9.8)-(1210)(sin 30.3^{\circ})=1800 N$

(b) 0.580

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

$F cos \theta - \mu_s N = 0$

where

$F cos \theta$ is the horizontal component of the push applied by the mule

$\mu_s N$ is the static frictional force

Substituting:

F = 1210 N

N = 1800 N

$\theta = 30.3^{\circ}$

We find $\mu_s$ , the coefficient of static friction:

$\mu_s = \frac{F cos \theta}{N}=\frac{(1210)(cos 30.3^{\circ})}{1800}=0.580$

(c) 522 N

In this case, the force exerted by the mule is

$F= 6.05 \cdot 10^2 N = 605 N$

So now the equation of the forces along the horizontal direction can be written as

$F cos \theta - F_f = 0$

where

$\theta=30.3^{\circ}$

and $F_f$ is the new frictional force, which is different from part (b) (because the value of the force of friction ranges from zero to the maximum value $\mu N$ , depending on how much force is applied in the opposite direction)

Solving the equation,

$F_f = F cos \theta = (605)(cos 30.3^{\circ})=522 N$

What increases as the temperature of a solid object rises?

atroni [7]

A. Thermal energy
Thermal energy is heat energy, therefore the hotter a solid is the more thermal energy it has.

C. Volume
When an object gets hotter, it expands. This is becuase the particles vibrate more and so are less compact.
