Two workers pull horizontally on a heavy box. but one pulls twice as hard as the other. The larger pull is directed at 21.0° wes

t of north, and the resultant of these two pulls is 460.0 N di-rectly northward. Use vector components to find the magnitude of each of these pulls and the direction of the smaller pull.

Answer:

The  magnitude of F1 is

|F1|=358.74 \ N

The magnitude of F2 is

|F2|=179.37\ N

And the direction of F2 is

\alpha = 44.214^o

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

Forces are represented as vectors since they have magnitude and direction. The diagram of forces is shown in the figure below.  

The larger pull F1 is directed 21° west of north and is represented with the blue arrow. The other pull F2 is directed to an unspecified direction (red arrow). Since the resultant Ft (black arrow) is pointed North, the second force must be in the first quadrant. We must find out the magnitude and angle of this force.  

Following the diagram, the sum of the vector components in the x-axis of F1 and F2 must be zero:

\displaystyle -2F\ sin21^o+F\ cos\alpha =0

The sum of the vertical components of F1 and F2 must equal the total force Ft

\displaystyle -2F\ cos21^o+F\ sin\alpha =460

Solving for \alpha in the first equation

\displaystyle cos\alpha =\frac{2F\ sin21^o}{F}=2sin21^o

\displaystyle cos\alpha =0.717=>\alpha =44.214^o

\displaystyle F(2cos21^o+sin\alpha)=460

\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin\alpha}

\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin44.214^o}

\displaystyle F=179.37\ N

The  magnitude of F1 is

|F1|=2*F=358.74 \ N

The magnitude of F2 is

|F2|=179.37\ N

And the direction of F2 is

\alpha = 44.214^o

Answer:

D, the lithosphere. (CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE)

Explanation:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America).

Information found on:
