Trade winds near equator blows in curve path instead of straight path. This is because of earth rotation. This effect of earth rotation that cause wind to move in curve motion is called Coriolis effect. These kind of wind blows at the northeast of the North hemisphere and southeast of the South hemisphere. The trade wind are warm and it blows due to rising of hot air from equator.

Joe the house painter stands on a uniform oak board weighing 600 N and held up by vertical ropes at each end. Joe has been dieti
Mamont248 [21]

Answer

given,

weight of the oak board = 600 N

Weight of Joe = 844 N

length of board = 4 m

Joe is standing at 1 m from left side

vertical wire is supporting at the end.

Assuming the system is in equilibrium

T₁ and T₂ be the tension at the ends of the wire

equating all the vertical force

T₁ + T₂ = 600 + 844

 T₁ + T₂ = 1444...........(1)

taking moment about T₂

 T₁ x 4 - 844 x 3 - 600 x 2 = 0

 T₁ x 4 = 3732

 T₁ = 933 N

from equation (1)

 T₂ = 1444 - 933

 T₂ = 511 N
