Two forces of 83 pounds and 56 pounds act simultaneously on an object. The resultant forms an angle of 52° with the 56-pound for
ce. Find the angle formed between the two original forces, to the nearest 10th of a degree.
1 answer:
Answer:
95.9°
Explanation:
The diagram illustrating the action of the two forces on the object is given in the attached photo.
Using sine rule a/SineA = b/SineB, we can obtain the value of B° as shown in the attached photo as follow:
a/SineA = b/SineB,
83/Sine52 = 56/SineB
Cross multiply to express in linear form
83 x SineB = 56 x Sine52
Divide both side by 83
SineB = (56 x Sine52)/83
SineB = 0.5317
B = Sine^-1(0.5317)
B = 32.1°
Now, we can obtain the angle θ, between the two forces as shown in the attached photo as follow:
52° + B° + θ = 180° ( sum of angles in a triangle)
52° + 32.1° + θ = 180°
Collect like terms
θ = 180° - 52° - 32.1°
θ = 95.9°
Therefore, the angle between the two forces is 95.9°

Answer:
W = 28226.88 N
Explanation:
Given,
Mass of the satellite, m = 5832 Kg
Height of the orbiting satellite from the surface, h = 4.13 x 10⁵ m
The time period of the orbit, T = 1.9 h
= 6840 s
The radius of the planet, R = 4.38 x 10⁶ m
The time period of the satellite is given by the formula
second
Squaring the terms and solving it for 'g'
g = 4 π² m/s²
Substituting the values in the above equation
g = 4 π²
g = 4.84 m/s²
Therefore, the weight
w = m x g newton
= 5832 Kg x 4.84 m/s²
= 28226.88 N
Hence, the weight of the satellite at the surface, W = 28226.88 N
