First, you make a diagram of all the forces acting on the system. This is shown in the figure. We have to determine F1 and F4. Let's do a momentum balance. Momentum is conserved so the summation of all momentum is equal to zero. Momentum is force*distance.
To determine F1: (reference is F4, so F4=0)
∑Momentum = 0 = -F2 - F3 + F1
0 = (-4 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.25m)-(6kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.5-0.3m)+F1(0.5-0.1m)
F1 = 53.96 N (left knife-edge)To determine F4: (reference is F1, so F1=0)
∑Momentum = 0 = -F2 - F3 + F4
0 = (-4 kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.25m)-(6kg)(9.81 m/s2)(0.5-0.2m)+F4(0.5-0.1m)
F4 = 68.67 N (right knife-edge)
The normal force acts to counter the gravitational force, that is the upward direction.
Answer: True
Explanation: When light is reflected off lets say a mirror it is bent and changes direction to bounce off of another wall or object. For example if you take a flash light and shine it into a mirror the light reflects into a different direction your welcome
Answer:
x-component=-9.3 m
Magnitude of A=17.7m
Explanation:
We are given that


We have to find the x-component of A and magnitude of A.
According to question

Substitute the values then we get


m




The value of x-component of A is negative because the vector A lie in second quadrant.
Hence, the x- component of A=-9.3 m
