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

wo plates with area 6.00×10−3 m2 are separated by a distance of 1.50×10−4 m . If a charge of 5.40×10−8 C is moved from one plate
liq [111]

Answer:

V = 152.542 volts

Explanation:

Given data:

area of plates6.00\times 10^{-3} m^2

distance between the plates is 1.50\times 10^{-4} m

charge = 5.40\times 10^{-8} c

we know that capacitance is given as

C = \frac{\epsilon A}{d}

C = \frac{8.85\times 10^{-12} 6\times 10^{-3}}{1.50\times 10^{-4}}

C = 3.54\times 10^{-10} F

potential difference is given as

V =\frac{Q}{C} = \frac{5.40\times 10^{-8}}{3.54\times 10^{-10}}

V = 152.542 volts
