tally on it. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and floor is 0.26.
a. What magnitude of force must the worker apply?
b. How much work is done on the crate by this force?
c. How much work is done on the crate by friction?
d. How much work is done on the crate by the normal force? By gravity?
e. What is the total work done on the crate?

Answer:

a. 79.1 N

b. 344 J

c. 344 J

d. 0 J

e. 0 J

Explanation:

a. Since the crate has a constant velocity, its net force must be 0 according to Newton's 1st law. The push force F_p by the worker must be equal to the friction force F_f on the crate, which is the product of friction coefficient μ and normal force N:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

F_p = F_f = \mu N = \mu mg = 0.26 * 31 * 9.81 = 79.1 N

b. The work is done on the crate by this force is the product of its force F_p and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_p = F_ps = 79.1*4.35 = 344 J

c. The work is done on the crate by friction force is also the product of friction force and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_f = F_fs = -79.1*4.35 = -344 J

This work is negative because the friction vector is in the opposite direction with the distance vector

d. As both the normal force and gravity are perpendicular to the distance vector, the work done by those forces is 0. In other words, these forces do not make any work.

e. The total work done on the crate would be sum of the work done by the pushing force and the work done by friction

W_p + W_f = 344 - 344 = 0 J

Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a glass prism of refractive index 1.54. Find αmax, the largest value the angle
marusya05 [52]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.

Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

Where,

\theta = Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact

n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media

The total internal reflection would then be given by

n_1 sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

(1.54) sin\theta_1 = (1.33)sin(90)

sin\theta_1 = \frac{1.33}{1.54}

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.54})

\theta = 59.72\°

Therefore the \alpha_{max} would be equal to

\alpha = 90\°-\theta

\alpha = 90-59.72

\alpha = 30.27\°

Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
