Answer:

The net acceleration of the boat is approximately 6.12 m/s² downwards

Explanation:

The buoyant or lifting force applied to the boat = 790 N

The mass of the boat lifted by the buoyant force = 214 kg

The force applied to a body is defined as the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body. Therefore, the buoyant force, F, acting on the boat can be presented as follows;

Fₐ = F - W

The weight of the boat = 214 × 9.81 = 2099.34 N

Therefore;

Fₐ = 790 - 2099.34 = -1309.34 N

Fₐ = Mass of the boat × The acceleration of the boat

Given that the buoyant force, Fₐ, is the net force acting on the boat, we have;

F = Mass of the boat × The net acceleration of the boat

F = -1309.34 N = 214 kg × The net acceleration of the boat

∴ The net acceleration of the boat = -1309.34 N/(214 kg) ≈ -6.12 m/s²

The net acceleration of the boat ≈ 6.12 m/s² downwards

Answer:

Explanation:

Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ=π/2). In this case, for what value of m1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero

F - Force

T = Tension

m = mass

a = acceleration

g = gravitational force

Let the given Normal on block 2 = N

and $N = m_2 g \cos \theta$

and the tension in the given string is said to be $T = m_2 g \sin \theta$

When the acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m_1}$

for the said block 1.

It will definite be zero only when Force is zero , F=0.

Here by Force, F

I refer net force on block 1.

Now we know

$F = m_1g-T.$

It is known that if the said

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ ,

then Tension $T= m_2g$ $[since \sin(\pi/2) = 1]$ ,

Now making $"F = m_1g - m_2g"$

So If we are to make Force equal to zero

$F=0 => m_1g = m_2g \ or \ m_1 = m_2$

What is the purpose of a free body diagram

Amiraneli [1.4K]

<span>A free body diagram is a representation of how the forces that are acting on a point or particle interact. You place your point at the origin and then draw your forces.
