9) At a construction site, a small crane is raising two boxes of nails on a plank to the roof. One box has already been opened a

nd is half full, while the other box is new. The boxes, including the nails, weight 10 kg and 20 kg, respectively, and are the same size
a) As the plank tilts towards the heavier box, predict which box of nails will start to slide first. Explain your prediction

Answer:

The two boxes will start sliding at the same angle. Their different masses does not affect when one of the boxes will start sliding.

Explanation:

The two boxes will start sliding when the frictional force,Ff= The gravitational force,Fg

Ff= mgcos theta× coefficient of friction

Fg= mgsintheta

Ff=Fg= mgsintheta=mgcos theta×coefficient of friction

Dividing through with mg on both sides gives

Sintheta=ucostheta

Sintheta/costheta= Tan theta

Theta= tan^-1(coefficient of fricition)

From the solution mass of the boxes and gravity does not affect when the boxes will start sliding.

Box 1 (having a mass of 10 kg) will slide first as it has less inertia than the other box. It will also require less force to overcome static friction between the surface of the plank and that of the first box.

How do you determine true displacement value of an object that has moved?
WITCHER [35]
Diceplacement is the distance an object has traveled in a certain direction
for example, if you were to walk North for 20m, then east for 40m, the <u>distance</u> you have traveled is 60m however your displacement is the distance between your starting position and your end position;
sqrt(20^2+40^2) = 44.7m
and because displacement is a vector, there needs to be a direction;
sin(theta)=40/44.7
theta=63.4 degrees East of North

therefore the true displacement is 44.7m at 63.4 degrees East of North

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
ELEN [110]
C is correct.  The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector.  The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are.  It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them.  Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.
