Answer:

b. mg ( μ · cos θ + sin θ)

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.

We have the following parallel forces acting on the block (in parallel direction to the direction of movement):

F = applied force.

Fr = friction force.

wx = parallel component of the weight.

According to Newton´s second law:

∑F = m · a

Where "m" is the mass of the block and "a" its acceleration.

Then:

F - Fr - wx = m · a

Since the block is to be pushed at a constant velocity, the acceleration is zero. Then:

F - Fr - wx = 0

F = Fr + wx

The applied force has to be equal to the friction force plus the parallel component of the weight to push the block at constant velocity.

The friction force is calculated as follows:

Fr = μ · N

Where N is the normal force and μ is the coefficient of friction.

Notice that the normal force is of the same magnitude as the perpendicular component of the weight, wy.

Let´s apply Newton´s second law in the perpendicular direction to show this:

∑F = m · a

N - wy = m · a

The acceleration of the block in the perpendicular direction is zero. Then:

N - wy = 0

N = wy

And wy can be obtained by trigonometry (see figure):

wy = W · cos θ

N = wy = mg ·  cos θ

The parallel component of the weight is calculated using trigonometry (see figure):

wx = W · sin θ

wx = mg · sin θ

Then the applied force will be:

F = Fr + wx

F = μ · N + mg · sin θ      (N = wy = mg ·  cos θ)

F = μ · mg ·  cos θ  + mg · sin θ

F = mg ( μ · cos θ + sin θ)

The correct answer is the b.

A person is diving in a lake in the depth of h = 5.5 m. The density of the water is rho = 1.0 x10^3 kg/m^3. The pressure of the
Cloud [144]

Answer:a) P = Po + rho×h×g

b) P = 5.4 × 10^9 pa

c) F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

d) 1.174×10^11N

Explanation: Using the formula

P = Po + rho×h×g

P =  1.0 x 10^5 + 1000 × 5.5 × 9.81

P = 5.4 × 10^9pa

The magnitude of the force exerted by water on the top of the person's head F at the depth h in terms of P

F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

Using the above formula

Where A = 0.046m^2

F = P/ A = 5.4×10^9/0.046

F = 1.174×10^11N

<span>Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:

d = v0t + at^2/2

We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,

d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2
