Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 100 kg          

Left rope makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical, and the right rope makes an angle of 40 degrees.  

From the attached figure, the x and y component of forces is given by :

T_{1x} =-T_1 cos (20)

T_{2x} = T_2 cos (40)

mg_x = 0

T_{1y} = T_1 sin (20)

T_{2y} = T_2 sin (40)

mg_y= -mg

Let R_x and R_y is the resultant in x and y direction.

R_x=-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0

R_y=T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-mg

As the system is balanced the net force acting on it is 0. So,

-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0=0.............(1)

T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-100\times 9.8=0..................(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get:  

T_1=866.86\ N (tension on the left rope)

T_2=1063.36\ N (tension on the right rope)

So, the tension on the right rope is 1063.36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Read the following excerpt about water availability to living organisms.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1 percent

Explanation:

It says that only 3 percent of the water is fresh. So it can be 1 percent or 3 percent. But then it says that most of the water is locked up in glaciers and polar ice caps. So the animals would have a hard time getting to this water. So the rest is available for them. Approximately 1 percent is most reasonable.

A coin is dropped off of a building landing on its side. It hits with a pressure of 400/2 It hits with a force of 0.1 Calculate
Arte-miy333 [17]

Complete Question:

A coin is dropped off of a building landing on its side. It hits with a pressure of 400 N/m². It hits with a force of 0.1N. Calculate the area of the coin?

Answer:

Area = 0.00025 m²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Pressure = 400N/m²

Force = 0.1N

To find the area of the coin;

Pressure = Force/area

Area = Force/pressure

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area = 0.1/400

Area = 0.00025 m²

A 5.75 × 107 kg battle ship originally at rest fires a 1100-kg artillery shell horizontally with a velocity of 550 m/s. show ans
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

-0.01052 m/s

Explanation:

M = mass of ship = 5.75\times 10^7\ kg

m = mass of shell = 1100 kg

v = velocity of shell = 550 m/s

u = recoil velocity of ship

As linear momentum is conserved

(M - m)u=-mv\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{mv}{M - m}\\\Rightarrow u=-\frac{1100\times 550}{5.75\times 10^7+1100}\\\Rightarrow u=-0.01052\ m/s

The recoil velocity of the ship taking the firing direction to be the positive direction is -0.01052 m/s

A runner traveled 15 kilometers north then backtracked 11 kilometers south before stopping. His resultant displacement was
Serhud [2]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Resultant displacement is 4 km north.

<u>Explanation:</u>

    Let east represents positive x- axis and north represent positive y - axis. Horizontal component is i and vertical component is j.

   A runner traveled 15 kilometers north then backtracked 11 kilometers south before stopping,

   So initial displacement, 15 kilometers north = 15 j km

        Second displacement, 11 kilometers south = -11 j km

   Total displacement = 15 j -11 j = 4 j km

   Total displacement is 4 km north.
