A student attaches a rope to a 20.0 kg box of books. He pulls with a force of 90.0 N at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizont

al. To make his job easier, he oiled the bottom of the box, reducing the coefficient of friction to 0.250. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box?

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.01 m/s².

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.

We have the following horizontal forces:

Fr = friction force.

Fx = Horizontal component of the applied force, F.

And we have the following vertical forces:

Fy = vertical component of the applied force.

N = normal force exerted on the box.

W = weight of the box.

According to Newton´s second law:

∑F = m · a

Then, in the horizontal direction:

Fx - Fr = m · a

Where "m" is the mass of the box and "a" its acceleration.

Fx can be obtained by trigonometry (see figure):

Fx = F · cos 30°

Fx = 90.0 N · cos 30°

Fr is calculated as follows:

Fr = μ · N

Where μ is the coefficient of friction and N the normal force.

So, we have to find the magnitude of the normal force.

Using Newton´s second law in the vertical direction:

∑F = N + Fy - W = m · a

Notice that the box has no vertical acceleration, then:

N + Fy - W = 0

Solving for N:

N = W - Fy

The weight is calculated as follows:

W = m · g

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity:

W = 20.0 kg · 9.8 m/s² = 196 N

And the vertical component of the applied force can be obtained by trigonometry:

Fy = F · sin 30°

Fy = 90.0 N · sin 30°

The normal force will be:

N = W - Fy = 196 N - 90.0 N · sin 30°

N = 151 N

Now, we can calculate the friction force:

Fr = μ · N

Fr = 0.250 · 151 N

Fr = 37.8 N

And now, we can obtain the acceleration of the box:

Fx - Fr = m · a

(Fx - Fr) / m = a

(90.0 N · cos 30° - 37.8 N ) / 20.0 kg = a

a = 2.01 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.01 m/s².

Some fish have a density slightly less than that of water and must exert a force (swim) to stay submerged. What force must an 85
vichka [17]

The force require to keep grouper submerged is 8.207N.

According to Archimedes principle  buoyant force of any object must equal to weight of fluid it displaced.

The expression for the force exerted to stay submerged in salt water is

           F = F(b) - w(fish)

 where F(b) = buoyant force

              w(fish) = weight

      now substitute w(b) for F(b)

   →  F = Vρg - w(fish)

where  V = volume of sea water

             ρ = density of sea water

Now by Archimedes principle   V = m(fish)  / ρ(fish)

    →    F = (m(fish) / ρ (fish) ) ρg - m(fish)g

           F =   (85 kg/1015 kg-m^-3) (1.025× 10³ kg-m^-3) (9.8 m/s^2)

                                  -   (85kg)  × 9.8 m/s^2

           F = 841.207N - 833N

           F = 8.207 N

  Hence, the force require to keep grouper submerged is 8.207N.
