Answer:

m = 69.9 kg

Explanation:

The mass and the weight of an object are two different quantities. Mass is basically the amount of matter that is present in a body. It remains same everywhere in the universe and measured in kilograms.

Weight is basically a force. It is the force by which earth attracts everything towards itself. The weight of an object changes from planet to planet, with the change in value of the gravitational acceleration (g).

Therefore, the relation between mass and weight of an object is given by the following formula:

W = mg

m = W/g

where,

m = mass = ?

W = Weight = 685 N

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

m = (685 N)/(9.8 m/s²)

m = 69.9 kg

A real heat engine operates between temperatures tc and th. during a certain time, an amount qc of heat is released to the cold

tino4ka555 [31]

$q_{c}$ = Heat released to cold reservoir

$q_{h}$ = Heat released to hot reservoir

$W_{max}$ = maximum amount of work

$t_{c}$ = temperature of cold reservoir

$t_{h}$ = temperature of hot reservoir

we know that

$\frac{q_{c}}{q_{h}}=\frac{t_{c}}{t_{h}}$

$q_{h} = (\frac{t_{h}}{t_{c}})q_{c}$ eq-1

maximum work is given as

$W_{max}$ = $q_{h}$ - $q_{c}$

using eq-1

$W_{max}$ = $(\frac{t_{h}}{t_{c}})q_{c}$ - $q_{c}$

The free body diagram shows a box being pulled to the left up a 25-degree incline

Greeley [361]

The question is incomplete but still I answer to assume your thinking.
The picture is attached below!.
Here,
F is the force with which you pull up the incline.
N is the normal force.
w is the weight acting downward.
Axis are mentioned in the attached picture.
Concept:
You can see there is no movement of object in the y-direction that means acceleration is zero in y-direction, sum of all the forces in y-direction equal to zero.
According to newton second law,
∑ F = ma
As, acceleration is zero in y-direction, so right hand side is zero in the above equation.
∑ F = 0
N-wcosθ=0
N= m*g*cos25°
N= m*(9.8)*(0.9063)
N= 8.8817*m
By putting the value of mass(m)(not given in the question) you will get the answer.
Hopefully, this is the answer of your question.
