What exactly is a psychological disorder? How is a psychological disorder diagnosed? Defining exactly what constitutes a mental disorder can be tricky and, definitions have changed over time.

The first problem is that psychologists must first decide exactly how to define disorder. How do you determine if there is something psychologically wrong or unhealthy about a person? How do you decide what's normal and what's abnormal?

If you were to define disorder as something that lies outside of the statistical norm, then people who are considered exceptionally talented or gifted in a particular area would be regarded as abnormal. So rather than focus on actions that are considered outside of the normal statistically speaking, psychologists tend to concentrate on the results of those behaviors. Behaviors that are considered maladaptive and cause significant personal distress and interrupt daily functioning are more likely to be labeled as abnormal.

Today many psychologists agree that psychological disorders are characterized by both personal distress and impairment in multiple areas of life.

Two identical copper blocks are connected by a weightless, unstretchable cord through a frictionless pulley at the top of a thin
likoan [24]

Answer:

13.6 N

Explanation:

Since one side of the wedge is vertical and the wedge makes and angle of 33 with the horizontal, the angle between the weight of the copper block on the incline and the incline is thus 90 - 33 = 57.

Let M be the mass of the block that hangs, m be the mass of the block on the incline and T be the tension in the weightless unstretchable cord.

We assume the motion is downwards in the direction of the hanging block, M.

We now write equations of motion for each block.

So

Mg - T = Ma    (1) and T - mgcos57 - F = ma where F is the frictional force on the block on the incline and a is their acceleration.

Now, since both blocks do not move, a = 0.

So, Mg - T = M(0) = 0     and T - mgcos57 - F = m(0) = 0

Mg - T = 0    (3) and T - mgcos57 - F = 0 (4)

From (3), T = Mg

Substituting T into (4), we have

T - mgcos57 - F = 0

Mg - mgcos57 - F = 0

So, Mg - mgcos57 = F  

F = Mg - mgcos57

F = (M - mcos57)g

Since g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and M = 2.94 kg and m = 2.85 kg.

We find F, thus

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kgcos57)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kg × 0.5446)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 1.552 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = (1.388 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = 13.6024 kgm/s²

F ≅ 13.6 N
