A computer base unit of mass 7.5 kg is dragged along a smooth desk. If the normal contact force is 23N and the tension in the ar
m of the person dragging it acts at 23 degrees to the horizontal, then what is the total tension in the person's arms? ...?
2 answers:
Answer:
Total tension in the person's arm = 58.82 N
Explanation:
Normal Contact Force: Normal contact force is the vertical component of the contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object makes contact with.
As shown in fig.1 in the diagram on the attached file below.
The Normal contact force (R) = Tsinθ = The vertical component of T
Where T = Total tension in the person's arm (N), θ = angle of inclination to the horizontal.
∴ R = Tsinθ
T = R/sinθ where R= 23N, θ =23°
T = 23/sin23° = 23/0.391
T = 58.82 N
∴ Total tension in the person's arm = 58.52 N

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.
The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.
A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:
The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;
Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.
