As a crate is resting on the inclined surface of the ramp we have following forces on the crate

1. Weight of the crate vertically downwards

2. Normal force due to ramp perpendicular to the surface

3. static friction force along the ramp upwards

so here we know that crate is at rest

so we can say that

normal force is balanced by component of weight of crate

so we have

N = mg cos\theta

also we can say that friction force is balanced by another component of weight of the crate

F_f = mg sin\theta

so friction force is less than the weight of the crate and it will act opposite to it

patriot [66]
If the velocity of the chair is constant, then the net force acting on it is zero.

The force you exert to keep it going is equal and opposite to the force of friction.

A grocery cart with a mass of 15 kg is pushed at constant speed along an aisle by a force fp = 12 n which acts at an angle of 17
Korolek [52]

<span>Given:

Mass of cart: 15kg</span>

Aisle length = 14m

Angle = 17° below the horizontal

Force fp = 12 N

 

So, the solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

<span><span>1)    </span>W(by applied force) = F(applied) x s x cosθ <span>
=>W(a) = 12 x 14 x cos17* = 160.66 J </span></span>
<span><span>
2)    </span>By F(net) = F(applied) - F(friction) <span>
=>As v = constant => a = 0 => F(net) = 0 
=>F(applied) = F(friction) 
<span>=>W(friction) = -F(friction) x s
=>W(friction) = -F(applied) x s 
=>W(f) = -12 x 14 x cos17* = -160.56 J </span></span></span>
<span><span>
3)    </span>0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force </span>
<span><span>
4)    </span>0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force</span>  
<span>
To add, the force that is applied<span> to an object by a person or another object is called the applied force.</span></span>

What is the weight of a person that has a mass Of 37.2 kg
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

364.56 N

Explanation:

W = mg

The gravitational force on Earth is about 9.8 N.

W = (37.2 kg)(9.8 N)

W = 364.56 N
